The Lake was a body of water surrounding Lakeview Village in the heart of the Lakelands during Dragonhollow's First Era.
=Geography=
----
===Upper Lake===
The upper half of The Lake stretched northwest of Lakeview. The waters beyond town were deep enough for diving but the western reaches were shallow and swampy. Several islands existed on The Lake including Fireworks Isle.
On the southern shore lay the squalid Slums, Panda Peak, and Pink Petal. The massive Deztrohedron loomed large over the snowy forests along the western shore. On the north shore was Dragon's Den and builds belonging to Yolo and Mando off of MatiRoad.
 
===Lower Lake===
The lower half of The Lake was south of Lakeview. Most of the area was in the middle of a marsh and fairly shallow, but the northernmost basin was of sufficient depth to support sailing ships like the Charon. Several small uninhabitated islands dotted its surface.
On the northern shore were Ebonrise, Mystery Express, and the The Cat's Pajamas. To the west jutted a large peninsula on which Azure-on-the-Lake and Carcosa were located. The western shore was accessible from Lakeview via a causeway that led to the Lakeview Horse Track and the Fan Club. The arid and sandy south shore was home to the Kastle.

----
The Lake had early historical significance during the Ancient Era as the Old Oak surged forth from the ground on its shoreline and Eris made her home in its gnarled roots.
On 1E:1, Acey chose to build the first town for mortals on the shores of The Lake and named it Lakeview Village. As the area grew and prospered, The Lake became prime real estate and a boon to the local trade economy.
Champ launched an amphibious attack from The Lake on Dragon's Den as part of his his violent crusade.
In celebration of the first Monthessary on 1E:32, fireworks were launched from an island in The Lake and some in attendance watched the display from boats floating on the water's surface.
As recounted in Lakeview Lost, some residents survived the First Bloodmoon by diving into The Lake where the endless hordes of monsters could not follow.
