The Lake

In the north east corner of the Outer Bailey, unkempt grasses give way to weedy shores. The weeds carpet the lake-bed, floating on the water's surface for several yards out. They hide sharp stones and waiting to ensnare ankles, but they sink to the bottom once the water is deep enough.
The waters are placid and cool unless tossed by wind or storms, which happens rarely. To the south and right on the water stands the boathouse. The Water Tower stands to the north east, accessible only by boat. To the east there is the Water Gate set into the outer curtain wall itself, leading to a moat beyond. This too might be reached by boat for the more daring. On the north-western bank, near the stream, stands an old and rotting wooden platform, fitted with a seat that can be swung out over the water in order to dunk the condemned. But fear not! If you're a witch, you won't drown.

In late August 2011, the lake froze over for two days during a 48 hour cold snap.
