In between the deserts are savannahs, and towards the bottom tip of the continent lies the biggest lake in all of Tihthur, the Kelop. Jurtu boasts many other lakes, but Lake Kelop contains the most wildlife out of all of Jurtu’s lakes. Some say that Lake Kelop is so clear it’s like looking in a mirror.
