Lake Yekar

Lake Yekar is a freshwater lake on the Old Continent. It is the largest in-land body of water on the continent, and feeds the River Hyrame. On the western shores of the lake is the city of Ferran's Hold, the capital of the nation Ferraria. The rest of the lake's shores are ruled by the Lord of the Lake, usually a member of the Branuk family. Many battles have been fought on and around the lake. The area has been inhabited for hundreds of years, as the lake has a large amount of biodiversity, so has been able to provide food to settlers in the area. The lake is oddly shaped due to the nature of the landscape beneath. There are multiple theories that try to explain Lake Yekar's shape- some believe it lies in the caldera of a large volcano or was formed by a impact from a meteorite. Others believe it keeps its shape through supernatural means.

The lake is fed by rain water, but snow-melt from the surrounding mountains feeds it during summer. It drains through the River Hyrame into the Seezhin Ocean.
