Lac Galifar

Lac Galifar is a freshwater body of water shared by the nations of Aundair, Brelande and Les Confins d'Eldeen. While exact borders are hard to maintain on the open water of the lake most border disputes have been over the highly valued shoreline. Those disputes have recently been settled with an addendum to the Traité de Fort-du-Throne demarking the shoreline laying within the boundaries west of the Rivière d'Argent and extending to the Rivière Wynarn to be the property of Les Confins d'Eldeen while the shoreline extending from east of the Wynarn and extending to the northmost edge of the Les Pointes Noires is the property of Aundair while the remainder, that being the shoreline south of the leading edge of the Les Pointes Noires and extending to the Rivière d'Argent, is property of Breland. Brelon and Aundarian representatives protested the large amounts of shoreline given to the Confins d'Eldeen but gave in at the concession of several open water treatises.

The lake is fed by natural underground springs as well as from rainwater flowing from the northern faces of the ever stormy Blackcaps and natural watershed and tributaries that empty into the lake. The lake itself empties into the Rivière Wynarn on a northward current which carries its waters to the Baie d'Eldeen.

The waters of the lake often remain calm especially in the northeast portion where members of the Guilde des Météorologues in Passage maintain a perpetual climate of calm sunny skies. Fishing has become a large industry in the waters of the lake supporting several of the surrounding cities food surpluses. However the lake is mostly used for entertainment as sailboats and rowboats can often be seen around the lake. Wealthy nobles have also been known to pay the Guilde des Artisans du Vent in Passage for a special type of vehicle that has been dubbed the Waverunner. These small wooden crafts feature a small bound water Élémentaire which can be commanded to propel the craft at high speeds across the open water of the lake.

The waters of the lake are deep and it is unknown exactly what species might inhabit the dark waters that lie beneath what has yet been explored. Some claim they have seen merfolk, Sahuagin and even the long, loping neck of an Elmasaur jutting out of the water. All of these claims have yet to be verified, however there is a small cabal of curious arcanist living in Arcanix who frequently make attempts to verify these claims.
