Lake of Shadows

The Lake of Shadows was a large body of fresh water located beneath the Dagger Hills in the extreme northwest of Cormanthor.

Geography
The Lake of Shadows was huge, some 60 mi (80.47 km) in its longest dimension. The cavern arched from 50 ft (15.24 m) to 100 ft (30.48 m) above the surface of the lake at its highest point, and the lake itself reached a depth of 100 ft (30.48 m).

Inhabitants
The lake was the domain of a fiendish kraken, which ruled the lake as an iron-fisted tyrant. The kraken's subjects included hundreds of kuo-toa who worshiped the kraken as a manifestation of Umberlee. Although a brood of aboleths also resided in the lake, they too acknowledged the kraken's dominance. On the eastern shore, a small tribe of stone giants lived under the guidance of their elders Ghunda and Thurrak. The stone giants had an uneasy alliance with the kuo-toa of the lake.

Notable locations
A portal from Myth Drannor reputedly lead to a ledge overlooking the Lake.
