'''Lake Mogador''' was a crucial central location in [[Damara]] for both commercial and political reasons.<ref name="TBL-p35">{{Cite book/The Bloodstone Lands|35}}</ref><ref name="TBL.M">{{Cite book/The Bloodstone Lands/Map}}</ref><ref name="TBL.CS">{{Cite book/The Bloodstone Lands/Cover sheet}}</ref>

==Description==
Given the lake's position as the convergence point for most of Damara's waterways, nearly all goods leaving Damara by water passed through the lake at some point.<ref name="TBL-p35" /><ref name="TBL.M" /> To protect their interests, the Damaran baronies of [[Morov]], [[Ostel]] and [[Polten]] all maintained heavily armed vessels on the lake in addition to their regular commercial ships.<ref name="TBL-p35" />

==Geography==
Lake Mogador was literally situated in the center of Damara bordering several major baronies and duchies. Both the [[Goliad River]] and [[Icelace River]] emptied into the lake, making it the convergence of both of these rivers as well as of their major tributaries, the [[Beaumaris River]] and the [[Galena Snake]] respectively. The lake emptied into the [[Great Imphras River]], which flowed south into [[Impiltur]].<ref name="TBL-p35" /><ref name="TBL.M" />

==History==
Following the fall of [[Zhengyi the Witch-King]] in the {{YearlinkName|1359}},<ref name="tGHotR-p144">{{Cite book/The Grand History of the Realms|144}}</ref> Lake Mogador became the sight of a simmering conflict between the southern baronies of Damara as they jockeyed for control over the critical waterway, with some small skirmishes occurring between the fleets of Ostel and Polten.<ref name="TBL-p35" />
