considering this island isn't HUGE and the land is tough for life to
survive... I wouldn't think there'd be an army.... maybe a few hundred
tribesmen of Drunmer... and I they all got armed .....but an army? |

sounds good... and shopkeeper and inn-owner wouldn't necessarily be a
big thing on a forever isolated isle... but I know what you mean....
unless their role is like mid-wife or herbalist or shaman or something
and they are goo working peoples of their clan, then they are gonna be
willing to fight the darkness off 
...right?

Yeah (I was just thinking how stupid it would be to have a inn on a desolate island)
But remember they aren't as much of a clan, as a society onto itself

okay....
well I think they'd have a lot of lights, and a few torches... they use
chopping or slashing weapons which would be able t hack apar the
abberations.... bows and arrows not too useful... and magic-casters
instead of hurling fireballs which could easily ignite surrounding
swamps cause some of the toxins are flammable, they will use light
magicks... shoot a beam of light... burns through abberation 
they would sneak around or charge in, but not too much in between since
sneaking around prevent large numbers to figth the abberations but
charging in requires a lot of coordination in the poisonous swamps and
is more like for decisive or last-resort
the muckspunge groves are used a refuges and this is the only truly
safe place.... sure they have a fort, but although abovwe the swamps
and hard fo rthe abberatiosn to attack, it is not invincible.... nor
are mcukspunge but the specially adapted muckspunge of this island are
death to the abberations since they suck up the poison and sludge...
come to think of it... they shoul dbe called sludge-spunge...

For the Valneeran 'militia,' I had in mind what I guess one would call
a force of rangers. The environment and the people seem to point to
small groups of lightly-armored stealth troops patrolling the borders
of Valneera. They would carry weapons which have proven effective
against the creatures of the Isle (more on that later) and use ambush
and skirmish tactics to compensate for inferior strength and numbers.
I don't see long, flowing clothing or lots of armor spikes - they get
in the way while moving in the swamp. Armor should be leather and
bonemold - relatively light, waterproof, form-fitting, and drab.
Basically what I'm trying to get across is a small, guerrilla brush-war
style force. I'll add some more ideas and concept art later if my ideas
meet with approval.

... I always had the impression that the swamp was acidic or like poisonous...
so maybe thick boots?

That makes a lot of sense. Possibly just heavy armor for direct defense of Valneera, where its less swampy and more rocky
