Lake Oromoro
Lake Oromoro is the largest inland body of water in the world. It is located within the Dagas in the region of Dagaland. Known within Dagaland as the Dreamwater, it is primarily filled by streams from nine different hotsprings, as well as hydrothermal vents found on the lakebed. It disgorges through the wetland forest known as the Argonons and then out to the Plizh River. Lake Oromoro stretches almost 140 miles at its widest span, with a surface area of approximately 5,600 square miles. The lake has an estimated total area of 8,500 cubic miles.
Lake Oromoro is in a highly volcanic region, and the geothermal activity keeps the lake at a constant 94 degrees F. The lake acts as a reservoir of thermal energy, keeping the valley within the Dagas at a stable temperature year round, even in the dead of Hibern. This creates a climate zone free from chills or freezing temperatures, allowing an enormous amount of endemic plant and animal life to flourish. Hundreds of fish, avian, reptile, mammalian, and amphibian species call the Dreamwater home; its fresh, warm waters allow for a rich, thriving ecosystem. A keystone species within Lake Oromoro are the mangrove trees which surround nearly the entire lake and provide food and shelter to countless species. Mangroves are densest within the Argonons, a marshy wetland on the boreal-west of the lake.
