Deepwash

The Deepwash was a freshwater lake and, as of 1370-1372 DR, the largest lake in the Vilhon Reach. The northwestern stretch was known as Shalane Lake in Erlkazar.

Geography
It was filled by tributaries from the Cloven Mountains and Deepwing Mountains and its main outlet was the Wintercloak River. It was known to be filled with fish.

Inhabitants
The lake was very deep and was home to a very large dragon turtle, with a shell 30 ft (10 m) in diameter, who resided near to Surkh. In Surkh, it was highly respected, and some even worshipped it, believing it to be an honour to be killed and eaten by it. The turtle was large enough to be able to capsize ships, with a very high level of intelligence.
