A perfectly circular lake in the central [[Plains of Kring]], approximately a half mile across, that the [[Path of Silken Blades]] passes.  Fifteen years ago the Uruk mage Dao called down Water upon himself and the bandit group that was harassing his refugee family.  Not rain, __water__: the impact gouged out the lake bed and caused tremors felt as far away as the [[Gate of Han]].  Out of respect for his sacrifice, the [[Kring nomads]] and the [[Mongrel Clans]] have declared the lake and anywhere within sight of it a sanctuary.
