Storm Eye Lake
A legendary tower of volatile powers rising over a lake turned upside down, with a whole city hidden beneath the floating water.
- Dark Times
Description
Storm Eye Lake is a place of legend. Its tower, the Eye of the Storm, has long been infamous for its volatile powers. Beneath it lies the lake's strangest wonder: the water hovers above the lakebed like a ceiling, sheltering a whole city underneath, full of artificers' workshops and contraptions that lift rubble and travellers against gravity.
"A lake turned upside down!" — Aurelius
Historical context
In the Dark Times the Unlit and the darklings had overrun it. Under ceaseless rain the stranger descended into the underwater city, restored power to its lifts and climbed the tower's outer walls to claim the core of lightning at the top. Aurelius was left wondering which came first, the floating lake or the architecture beneath it.
