Lake Poga

Lake Poga is the largest lake on the Veldt, at the center of the territory of the Nnamai and Tsani people. Unlike the other lakes of the Great Rift which are very deep, the waters here are shallow, reaching a maximum depth of 600 feet. Rain falls heaviest in the center of the lake and the waterline can rise dramatically and without warning, flooding the surrounding land.
Over three hundred species of fish live in the lake, many unique to its waters. White clouds on the waters, often mistaken for smoke, are in fact billions of swarming lakeflies. Schistosomiasis is prevalent in the lake, and easy to catch by swimming in the water or walking around its shore. Other dangers include hippopotamuses and crocodiles that patrol the water edges.
