Lake of Visions

Lake inside Issiq
A freshwater lake with mysterious properties.

This freshwater lake, originating from the Ravine's river, can often seem like a vision to those who have been traveling in the desert of Issiq for long enough. This is a neutral territory where camps and short-term settlements dot the edges of the water. As that is the case, Researchers are requested not to build their colonies on the water's edge, or they may find their privacy intruded upon and their camp ransacked. There are several more permanent locations where some natives have set up trading centers and places of respite for the weary traveler.
