> Your wanderings take you far and wide across the barren wasteland that surrounds the portal, until the smell of humidity and fresh water alerts you to the nearby **lake**. With a few quick strides you find a lake so massive the distant shore cannot be seen. Grass and a few sparse trees grow all around it.

## Description

At the far reaches of the wasteland lies a vast and deep lake that stretches away over the horizon. Sparse vegetation and trees line its sandy shores. The lake is discovered by exploring the wasteland. Initially, the murky waters of this lake are polluted by corruptive toxins pumped out by the Demon Factory. Depending on the Champions actions in this factory, the water quality can be improved or destroyed.

>  *“Well aside from old Whitney’s farm, there’s the ruins of an old mousefolk town, they say it’s haunted. On the side of the locals though a large community of shark girls reside in the lake and you may run across a slime girl or two, also from the lake. I highly advise against swimming there unless you would favor getting stung by an anemone. Now that’s the nicer locales, amongst the nasties are the Ooze, always at war with the slimes, and the cultist of the fetish, a faction of sex crazed lunatics worshiping demonised ex gods. There’s a rumor Marae might still live somewhere on an island at the center of the lake, might be worth investigating.”*

Callu can also sell the Champion a fishing rod for 50 gems, allowing you to catch your own fish.

### Lakeside Farm

Growing near the lake shore is a tree growing an unusual fruit. The Champion finds one whisker fruit lying on the ground beneath its branches.

### Lost Treasure

While walking the lake shore, the Champion notices a strange vial lying half-buried in the sand. Pulling it free, the label reads Equinum.

### The Alchemist

Hidden amongst the lakeside bushes, the Champion comes across a strange figure hunched over a cauldron. After talking with him, it becomes apparent that he is an accomplished alchemist called Rathazul and can provide you with some useful items. After purchasing at least three items from him, the following encounter will give you the option of moving him back to your camp as a follower.

### A Thing of Beauty

The following unique pieces of equipment can be discovered along the shores of the lake, each embedded in the trunk of an enormous, ancient tree:

### Fishing

If the Champion has purchased a fishing pole from Callu, they have the chance of the Champion deciding to just drift and fish for an hour. This yields one fresh fish for the player to eat.
