well, first of all, it's the battleground of The War of the Last Alliance.
As for elven bodies decaying, i don't remember where i read it but there seemed to be a case of an elf dying and his body disintegrated into light and travelled west(i think i read this, please confirm)
But i think that the corpses in the marches were indeed preserved by some foul magic for after all, the marshes are evil and lure you to your death.
