The Purelake

A large freshwater lake in the territory of Bardos. The Purelake is a Independant State so it isn’t part of the nation that surrounds it, it’s just its own thing man.

Broad Description
The Purelake is about 2.5 miles (about 4 kilometers) across so you can just see past the other shore before it hits the horizon. The society is built along the shore of the Purelake with all the buildings within the water but skirting the edge, not going too far in. They are mostly made of wood and are many small buildings on small stilts with stairs coming up to the curtained door frame (the curtain doesn’t meet the water) The floors of the buildings leave you ankle to mid calf deep in the water(depending on race). The bed of the lake stays basically flat for the first couple hundred meters (probably closer to a kilometer) before deepening much more dramatically toward the center.

It seemingly is always a nice warm beach day weather wise at the Purelake and the water is never too cold. It is unknown if this is because of magic or some underground volcanic activity warming the area.

Culture
There is a Purelaker language(more like slang)that you learn as you live there but they all also speak common and will do so to visitors.

Purelakers are from all kinds of backgrounds and races but they are just a bunch of super chill dudes to the point that they don’t have a word for seconds, minutes or hours in their local language as they simply believe things will get done when they get done, just go at your own pace man. You will often find boats on the water within the Purelake fishing the depths. Despite their slacker exterior you rarely see a Purelaker doing nothing, they are always doing something even if they are taking their time with it (e.g. if one is sitting down, they will have a fishing rod in hand or a basket mid-weave.) Purelakers almost exclusively wear no shirts and knee length pants. Most are barefoot but you see some wearing sandals or thongs.
