Hiel lake

A vast lake lay on the site of Hiel, the capital of the planet Giath. The Hiel Palace overlooked the lake which was in fact a geologically recent meteor crater. It had formed around 40,000 B.C and had subsequently filled with water from the local subterranean aquifers. The city of Hiel itself was built on an island—or more precisely a peninsula—overlooking the lake. Visitors commonly reached the city by crossing the lake by boat.
