Unlake

Buried deep in the hidden valley of Ruïn there is a pool which from the outside seems like any other, but it is no simple pond. This is the unlake. Through unknown magic its waters impart no wetness. Rather the opposite, if something wet is placed in the unlake when removed it is as dry as can be. Any liquid poured into the lake cannot be recovered. Leather and meat come out cracked and dried, to say nothing of the unfortunate flesh of any mortal who touches the not-water. It is said that a creature that enters the unlake feels as though it is in open air, yet weightless and suffocating as though drowning. Where these claims come from remains a mystery as none living who have seen the pool have entered and none who have entered ever came back out. It is fortuante then that the unlake lies in so obscure a place that few have ever seen it who did not seek it out.
