Misuto Lake

Misuto Lake, the massive lake at the centre of the island, the most valuable and significant region on the island by far. It truly is beautiful, so much so that putting it in writing feels like I am doing it a disservice. The mist flowing over the near still water, deep blue and translucent, perfectly clean yet hard to see through. During my journey i often found myself staring into the depths and asking myself what might be down there, but nothing ever surfaced, not even a fish, save for when we cast the net down and brought up hundreds of them. Truly, a mystical place that I'm sure the beauty of which will not get through, as I am no storyteller.

Geography

Misuto lake is so named because of it's ever present mist, which grows thicker as one approaches Mount Kazemoou. The mist is said to originate from Kazemoou's great waterfalls, which pour out from the divine realm. The lake itself spans 375 kms at it's largest in length, and spans 315 at its largest at width. On average it is smaller than this, however, it's width coming in at closer to 225 kms, and it's length coming in at 315. It's average depth is yet unknown, as only the regions within 10 miles of the coasts have been mapped out yet, but the estimate is that it is upwards of 400 feet deep on average. It has four rivers extending from it, all of which eventually connect to the coast and most of which branch off. The first is the Nagaoka River, which extends to the South-East of Misuto Lake. The second is Kizumachi River, extending to the South-West of Misuto Lake. The third is the Satou river, extending directly north of Misuto Lake. The fourth is Seikigahara River, extending to the North-East of Misuto Lake.

Fauna & Flora

Flora Under the lake there is a booming ecosystem, and on the plant side it is mostly composed of underwater grasses and the like. Above the water there occasionally rise clusters of flowering lilies, and on the shores three are cat tails and other such plants. Fauna Underwater there are quite a few species of fish, most of which stay below 20 feet from the surface. Salmon, bass, and most plentiful carp are found in the lake, alongside other living creatures such as snails and aquatic turtles. Magical underwater creatures also inhabit the lake, none of which are going to be named here because their specific natures are not common knowledge. On the shores frogs and other amphibious creatures make their home.
