Lake Umber was a freshwater lake at the base of Thayan First Escarpment between Thay and Aglarond.[2]
Description[]
The river plummeted from the escarpment and widened, shaping the slow-moving narrow lake. From there, it flowed through the Lower Falls and formed the main wider body of Lake Umber.[1]
Geography[]
Lake Umber was a part of the River Umber, which began in the mountain glaciers[2] of Thaymount and ended in the Umber Marshes, feeding Aglarond's farms.[3]
The area surrounding the lake was sparsely populated. It was claimed by both Thay and Aglarond, and only a few fishermen families lived on its banks.[1]
Flora & Fauna[]
The shores of Lake Umber were fertile enough to support small fishing and farming industries. The most common trees that grew on its banks were oaks, birches, and willows.[4]
Notable Locations[]
The main body of the lake had two vulnerable and unwalled trading towns sitting on its north and south shores: Nethentir and Nethjet, respectively. Most of the locals were simple fishermen with a few farms scattered in the area producing food for the residents of the two towns but not for export.[1]
The tharchion of the Thaymount controlled the length of the River Umber, including Lake Umber and both towns of Nethentir and Nethjet.[5]
