Flattened Grass

In an area that used to be part of the Whispering Meadow, there is an expanse of Flattened Grass. The ground beneath is springy and somewhat mushy, which makes this area perfect for training apprentices. However, after a hard rainfall, the springy ground turns into a giant mud hole. Fighting practice would have to wait until it dried out, unless they did it somewhere else. Besides, the day after rain usually means the apprentices would spend most of their time cleaning out the elders bedding and listening to their complaints about how wet it was the night before, and how they had to wait until morning for it to be changed.
