Lake of Sorrows
The Lake of Sorrows is a Stable Point in the Near Dreaming of the Kingdom of the Burning Sun.
Overview
Where the Great Salt Lake rests in the Kingdom of the Burning Sun, the Lake of Sorrows is mirrored in the Near Dreaming. The Lake holds within its depths a city of incredible beauty and unspeakable majesty. Towers rise beneath the waters and come within inches of the air; occasionally, an individual sees the inhabitants of this city looking up at them, even as they peer down into the deeps. Treasures beyond the scope of mortal imagination gleam brightly in the depths, sometimes held in hands and sometimes resting on the mother-of-pearl-colored cobblestones in the deeps of the lake. This city thrives, filled with Kithain both familiar and unknown to changelings. Despite their powers and fabulous abilities, however, they cannot reach the city beneath the surface. Many sidhe have gazed upon this wonder and wept openly. No one knows for certain what this city should be called, but a few sidhe swear it resembles Arcadia in every aspect.
Arcadia or not, it is close enough to see and still remains forever out of reach.
