The stench of the rotting white flowers pervades the air. It is an unwholesome fog which cleaves to the gilded waters like a shroud. Little candles grow out of the lilies, like clumps of clotted fat."''<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Lilymire|The Lilymire|Fallen London|}}</ref></blockquote>

The '''Lilymire''' is a swamp in the [[Hinterlands]] located near [[Marigold Station]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Brave_the_Lilymire|Brave the Lilymire|Fallen London|}} ''"A place of bloated marshes and corpsecandles."''</ref> The place and its surroundings have a rotten atmosphere, and are lit by thousands of white lilies containing a candle.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Brave_the_Lilymire|Brave the Lilymire|Fallen London|}} ''"The route [...] effluvia of the grave [...] lilies float by – they are alight, [...] sweet, rotten scent [...] the flickering of thousands of lily-candles."''</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Lilymire|The Lilymire|Fallen London|}} ''"Little candles grow out of the lilies, [...]"''</ref> The waters here were flooded with the run-off from [[Hell]]'s law-furnaces, and unprotected divers may emerge permanently altered.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Search_for_a_Hellish_artefact|Search for a Hellish artefact|Fallen London|}} ''"[...] dive into the [...] waters of the mire, fattened with the effluvia of Hell's law-furnaces.

Hell refused to conquer the Lilymire, and instead left it as a place for its "dead and exiled."<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Lilymire|The Lilymire|Fallen London|}} ''"This is a place Hell [...] refused to conquer: only its dead and its exiled linger here."''</ref> Details of this place are kept secret, from those who died here, to the grave's original owner, to for whom the candles burn.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Dive_into_the_Lilymire|Dive into the Lilymire|Fallen London|}} ''"[...] Brass Embassy does not publish [...] those who died in this mire. Hell will not reveal whose [...] grave this once was, nor for whom the candles burn."''</ref>
