The Silk Lake
The Silk Lake lies in the Underdark of [Ru'Than underneath the Northern Isle, of the planet of Esau.
Tunnels of magical darkness links Ru'Than, The Undersea and Ru'Mal together.
The Silk Lake is so named because when the water is still, it looks like a large piece of midnight blue silk. The heated waters are only filled by sunken vessels and creatures from the depths of the lake. No one swims in the lake.
Around the edge of the lake grows Fungus; both Blacklight Toadstools and Jellyfish Mushrooms, which frequently glow like lanterns.
Coming out of the steps' tunnel from The Northern Silver Mine, that lead up to secret entrances into Hyon and Janney, the view of the wide magical-looking lake is a delightful surprise. Across the water is the lit up city of Kyspar. A place of great beauty and wealth.
Kyspar City leads into the rest of the Ru'Than. The Underdark is full of beings not seen of the surface. In the waters of the land are creatures of myths.
History
Flint and Cobble (Earth Genasi), Urmrig Rockbones and Sardryn Rockbones (father and daughter of the Mountain Dwarf Clan of Rockbones), and Lorsan Cralar (High Elf male) had made a pact when the large Northern Silver Mine was discovered between Hyon and Janney ...
They each owned some of the land that the silver mine weaved through, so they became partners. Deeds to the mine still exist - created on undamageable parchment.
The towns of Hyon and Janney expanded as work in the mines continued. The mine entrances remained secret to those who did not live in either town - and now is forgotten by most locals.
The discovery of the mineral vein and proceeding cutting of the steps brought new surprises. No one thought of the Underdark existing underneath of The Northern Isle. The existence of Ru'Mal had already been discovered - it was thought there could only be a singular underdark.
The small boat to get across the Silk Lake had to be built on the shore. Once water-worthy, as well as able to handle suck heat, the five companions travelled across. The discovery of the tree covered in Dark Plums made the Earth Genasi and Dwarves nervous - none of the knew what it was. However, the High Elf ate keenly - believing it their 'right' and his greed that came along side his wealth took hold within days. His companions watched disapproving of his behaviour.
His greed became jealousy and distrust.
