General information
Type:Lake

Description

"This salt lake in the Dry Steppes is nearly lifeless, except for a few birds and insects near the mouth of the Rumikadath River. The extent of the waters was once much greater, especially to the north and east where large salt flats are now. Obviously, salt is the major export of this locale, though many goods can be found in the market city of Kanak on the lake's southern shore.

The timeless monument of Tovag Baragu rises from the flats north of the lake. It is considered holy to the human and centaur nomads of the Dry Steppes and is watched over by zealous dervishes. Recently, Tovag Baragu was reported to have changed dramatically."[1]

Lake Urdrukankar in Other Sources

In Gary Gygax's novel Sea of Death some denizens of this area refer to the body of water as Lake Karnoosh and refer to the nearby market city by the same name. It is unclear whether this is a mere linguistic variation or if it is for another reason.
