Lake Glåma is a lake in the western Headlands of
The Northern Reaches.
Geography
Lake Glåma is the largest lake by surface area in the Northern Reaches, and the second deepest lake behind
Ravninnsjø. The
River Ørsin feeds into it from the northwest, and the
River Glåma feeds through it from the east, with an outflow to the west towards the
Veiled Bay. It has an old outflow bed going southwest towards Ravninnsjø.
The southeast outflow of the lake has been a source of debate among scholars. The main outflow of the river Glåma has caused this stream to mostly dry up, though some water does still flow out of the lake in that direction, despite the fact the the main rivers outflow should have dried the stream up completely. Scholars and mages have investigated both the stream and Ravninnsjø, the lake that the stream flows into, for answers, but have come up with little more than theories. The common agreement is that some latent magical effect is the cause, though despite years research and investigations no specific source or focus has been found.
Local Use
Lake Glåma is a popular lake among the locals. Not only is it a major source of freshwater fishing in the region, denizens of Morstead and
Norheim often travel to the shores of the lake for recreational activities, making camp on a spot by the shore and swimming in the waters, or taking leisurely boat trips on the lake or rivers.
It is a common crossing point for ferries and other small craft travelling through the Headlands transporting goods or passengers.
