Located in central Tolara, politically the Dhmor Sim'rana Lake makes up the main border between Ar'lasang Vaerda'ky, Di'kae Milona, and Eris'Ka.
Geologically speaking, the Dhmor Sim'rana is a small lake left over from when the area was much lower lying, and was therefore a part of the Than'yra Osang. Further movements of the fault beneath it have continued to reduce the level of the lake over the centuries, resulting in high cliffs of the Tarael Mountains now encircling the lake in the current era.
Repeated flooding in the region during its initial formation- as well as having originally been a part of a Salt Ocean in general- has deposited a large salt bed at the bottom of the lake, and the surrounding area. This results in the Dhmor Sim'rana having a high natural salinity content averaging aproximately 25%, as well as leading to the presence of various crystalline salt structures on the surrounding mountain cliffs nearest to the lake. The salt content of the lake, however, can drop as low as 20% during particularly heavy rainy seasons- which usually occur every 5 or so years. Especially as icemelt from the Bramala Icelands floods into the Zunabar Floodplains, and drains off into the lake.
Unfortunately the high salt content also reduces the ability of flora and fauna to survive in the region. Because of that, the Dhmor Sim'rana and the wetlands around it are only sparsely populated with those creatures and plants that can withstand such high levels of salt.
