Highstar Lake

Description

Geography
The lake was located north of the High Moor, a bit west of Mount Hlim, in the northeastern area of the High Moor.

The dwarfhold known as the Halls of the Hammer was located near the shores of the lake. Close to it was a cabin used by a band of adventurers, known as Hammer Hall.

History
Around the, a malevolent mage was spreading poison within the waters of the lake. This devious act killed large populations of its aquatic life.

During the 15 century DR, a number of men from the surrounding area went missing and were believed to have been abducted by Highstar Lake's fabled denizen. They always returned after a few days' time, with pockets full of ancient elven coins.

Similarly, infants would periodically appear at the shores of the lake. The locals that took these babies in believed they were the offspring of the same being.

Inhabitants
The source of the lake's enigmatic goings-on was a creature known as the "lady in the lake". Not much was known about her, except that she sometimes took a form that resembled a nymph and other times appeared as a grotesque ichthyic creature.

Rumors & Legends
It was said by some that the depths of Highstar Lake contained the ruins of an ancient airship that once flew over the skies of Netheril.

Another legend told of an ancient temple beneath its waters, that was dedicated to some long-lost deity.
