Land of the Lions

The Lake of Steam is a region in South Faerûn. Despite its name, the Lake of Steam is a quasi-inner sea connected to the Shining Sea.

With the Shaar on the east, it separates the Shining South from the rest of Faerûn. On its shores is a collection of free cities, mainly on the northern and western sides. The southern side, by contrast, is a collection of kingdoms collectively named the Border Kingdoms. At the center of the lake is the Arnrock.
