The Glimmerlake

This huge, deep glacial lake was carved out of the eastern reaches of the middle Spine of the World. The shores of the lake and the islands within the lake itself are host to numerous communities, and many more communities of nomadic herders make frequent trips to the lake's waters annually. The lake's depths are rumored to be home to a myriad of horrors. In recent years the shores of the lake of played host to a deadly war as the Empire of Ten Clans has aggressively sought to incorporate the region into its rapidly growing empire. The area has given the Empire of Ten more trouble than most, but it is hard to view the eventual conquest of the locals by the massive, determined, and technologically advanced ranks of dwarves and their vassals.
