A lake in Anauroch.

The Xaeyruudh Campaign

In the Xaeyruudh campaign, this feature doesn’t exist — partly because the City of Shade returns in 1372 in the official sources, and the campaign begins in 1365.

Azulduth

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

Azulduth, also called the Lake of Salt, is a lake in southern Mulhorand. It’s known to be inhabited by yuan-ti, who prowl the ancient ruins.

Azulduth is formally claimed by neither Mulhorand nor Unther, though both want the salt that comes out of it. However, neither nation has demonstrated an ability to decisively defeat the local population of serpentfolk. Salt mines and related businesses have been built on both sides of the lake, however. The fortified town of Buldamar stands on the eastern “shore” and Azun on the western; the forces rarely confront each other, as they keep to the edges of the lake.

Unbeknownst to the humans on the surface, the pumps of Pyraddin beneath their towns siphon off much of the water that would otherwise fill the Lake of Salt.

Lake Umber

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

There are technically two Lake Umbers: the one everyone recognizes, at the base of the First Escarpment on the west edge of Thay at the border with Thesk and Aglarond, and the long narrow Upper Lake Umber, at the top of the escarpment.

Alternatively, you can think of them as one lake… with a waterfall in the middle.

The Lake of Steam

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

The year, in the Xaeyruudh campaign, is 1365 DR. It is unknown who, if anyone, controls the Lake of Steam.

Ashane

At a Glance

Ashane — sometimes called Lake Ashane or the Lake of Tears — appears at first glance to be an unremarkable lake. It freezes in the winter and gets boggy around the edges in the summer, much like lakes in this climate should.

There is a presence in Ashane, however. Something which favors Rashemi with bountiful catches but lashes out at others.

Neighboring nations and regions include Rashemen to the east, Thay to the south, Narfell and the Great Dale to the west, and the Great Glacier to the north.
