Red Sea

This lake is fed by the river running from the red mountains . The red sand particles transported by the water cause the lake to be red. The colour is stronger the lower the water level is.
During the Long Peace this lake is home to no less then five major cities and ountles villages.
The river flowing from the red sea to first haven bay  is seasonal. When the river is running high enough it is used to transport goods, especially food. In other times trade routes follow the riverline up and downstream.

"The blood of the desert runs thick and dark"

- saying used to describe times of drought
