Most islands in the Sea of Silt are little more than
jumbled boulders that fight a losing battle against
the abrasive winds. Larger, more protected islands can
withstand erosion and might sustain life. Lake Island is
among the bigger landmasses in the sea. A mountainous
spine forms a wall that shields against the storms blowing
out of the deep silt; the largest peak is a dormant volcano.
A large, clear lake lies within the caldera, and steam curls
up from its pristine waters, warmed by the volcano's fiery
spirits.
Trickling streams from the caldera nourish the thriving
flora that blankets Lake Island's western slopes. In the lowlands, a traveler can find wild kanks, erdlus, and other
herd animals. In addition, small settlements cluster around
oases; Lake Island is home to warring giant clans, thrikreen, dwarves, and others. Gith raiders emerge from below
the mountains to drag prisoners to an unknown fate in
stinking subterranean grottoes.
