Lake Clarity

Lake Clarity was a beautiful upland lake in Mistvale, known in Sindarin as Aelinhith ("Lake-in-the-Mists"). The Fairwater exited from Lake Clarity at its northern end and passed through Delving Cleeve, in the White Downs , on its way eastward to the Brandywine. Fishermen and trappers visited this lake only rarely, as there were rumored to be nixies , water nymphs, and monsters in and near it. This was not untrue, but most of these beings were not harmful. Tales told of a lost widow' s son who caught a talking fish in the lake and released it, gaining three wishes in the process. Real life, of course , is seldom so simple. If a traveler befriends one of the Faerie of the lake -and some might entrap or entangle themselves to test a stranger's good will—favors can be granted and useful lore can be learned.
