Lake Deneval

Lake Deveval is an inland lake located in the southern portion of the Plains of Pelor. The city of Thais, on the south-east bank, is the capital of Libera. Bremmen is a smaller village located on the north side of the outlet river. Lake Deneval is renowned for its fishing trade.

In the old times, Lake Deneval was revered as a spirit lake, thanks to it's population of Mistfish, and it's seemingly neverending water stream that fuels the Mad Tempest-- a fast dangerous river that leads to the ocean. Later, explorers learned that the river was in fact a result from a strong undercurrent, which passes under Lake Deneval via a deep underwater source. Lake Deneval itself was revealed to be almost unimaginably deep, perhaps a creater of magical wars gone by.

As Thais became richer, and the Plains of Pelor more habitable, locals began to see the value in Mistfish-- a transparent species of fish that repeats what humans say until death. They are also transparent in appearance, with "gold" running through their veins and fins. When they migrate to the ocean (in astonishingly great quantities), the river is seen to flow gold, and is seen as an indication to begin harvesting crops. These fish are known to spray themselves in gold leaf upon death, which can either be used as a garnish on the raw meat, or which can be sold as "liquid luck" to the suspicious. Those aware of the Lake's spiritual past would likely refuse this luck, seeing the death of the Mistfish as ill-omen.

Those sensible to fey magic and with strong nature attributes are likely to avoid the lake, sensing that it once harboured several strong pact-makers. There is some local movement by a group in Thais known as the Spirit Widows, who aim to restore the lake to its natural preserved state.
