Oloonde Lakeland is a foresty region north eats of the continent. It's mostly famous for the five major bodies of water connected through a web of streams and rivers flowing into each lake or pond. The most famous of them are the Lake of Arrows, the Lake of Souls, Sullon Lake, Mirror Sea, and Still moon Pond. The area is very hilly, with the more elevated lakes and ponds pouring their waters in waterfalls and quick rapids.

The region is also known for its many tales and myths, and for being far more populated by elves than the central part of the continent.

Lake of Arrows

Danger: Normal

One of the biggest lake of the region. It stands in the middle of a shallow depression, surrounded by lush forested hills and a high cliff to its nothern side. The name of the lake comes from the multiple spike-shaped rocks majestically emerging from its waters. They form massive stone formations, a bit like organ pipes. The lake is inhabited by a wide variety of colorful birds, perching on top of the arrows and fishing the waters. The lake is fed by the massive waterfalls coming from the norht. Its waters then go out into the Jewel river and further down to Stillmoon pond.

The place is definitely beautiful and offer a wonderful, calming sight. One should be cautious if standing on the bank of the lake, however. Some mermaids sometimes come the Jewel river and love to snatch unaware onlookers with a swift flick of their tongue.

Lake of Souls

Danger: Normal

The lake of souls is one of the wonders of Felarya. It's also named Kalichidhen which means roughly " Cathedral of water " in an ancient language. It's by far the highest lake of the region, actually resting in the canopy of several very ancient, now petrifed trees. Over the time, leaves, branches and various debris carried by the waters accumulated and congregated, creating created a natural wall, thick as stone, that retained water and allowed the existence of the lake. The trees circle the lake and form a crown, and in the middle of the lake, tands a smaller, but higher rown of tree. The waters appears to flow from it, like a natural fountain.

The water managed to carve some opening through the petrifed walls, creating majestic waterfalls along the trunks

Exactly why it is called the lake of souls is unknown, but it's easy to imagine that such an awe-inspiring place could be a place of worship and mysticism

Sullon Lake

Danger: Normal

Sullon lake is a very deep and losange-shaped lake. It's situated much lower than the lake of souls, and the waters from there go down in a powerful and majestic waterfalls. It then goes out from an underwater exit leading to the Jewel river. The waters of the lake are dark, cold, and treacherous, with very strong churning currents and deadly whirpools forming all over it. The depth of the lake is what it is the most famous for, however. Nobody has really measured just how deep it goes but Sullon comes from a word from an ancient language ( "Suh-lhon" ) that means "Abyssal".

Stillmoon Pond
