Shadowfell Lake

The raising of the Wizard’s Wall in 2947 I.R. shifted the geography of the entire region. Rivers changed their course or dried up, valleys became plains, even the mountains of the Deepfells shuddered and in places crumbled. The great Wanaheeli River that once flowed along the northern edge of the Deepfells was diverted, leaving behind a great lake at the northern base of the Wizard’s Wall. Shadowfell Lake remains today, and the passing of the centuries has transformed it into a far more natural formation, with gentle shores and cold deeps. At some unknown time in the past, some enterprising Caleen colonists seeded it with fish, so various species of chad, trout, pupfish, and bass can be found in the lake. The Caleen sometimes venture here to fish, but the Shattered Folk generally shun such activities.
Despite its dire sorcery-ridden birth and its ominous moniker, Shadowfell Lake is a surprisingly peaceful and pleasant place. The Wizard’s Wall rises to the south while stands of birch and elm have sprung up along its edge, with hazel, buckthorn, and wild roses growing beneath. Bear, puma, and wolves hunt along its shores. Though giants or hobgoblins from the Deepfells or gnolls and goblins from The Plains may sometimes be encountered here, Shadowfell Lake is one of the most sedate places in all The Haunted Steppes.
