GLRP:EMs:Royal Spies:2011:Apex Ascendant:Carthax Lake

Title: Carthax Lake

Author: Jeram the Wise

While much of the power of the great elementals rests in places unknown inside the Void, there exist places where some of their power remains, trapped and bound to be used by those with the knowledge and the will. While I have spoken already on the Fault of Lithos, another place is rumored to exist in the lands of Lord British. The place is Carthax Lake.

The myth speaks of a group of mages who struck a deal with the titan of water, Hydros, for great power. These Tempests practiced the magic of Hydros, called Tempestry. They could create great storms and waves, causing all who lived by the ocean to tremble at their name.

One of their great leaders grew arrogant and tried to trap Hydros in Carthax Lake. While he managed to trap part of the Titan in the waters there and control it with the Tear of the Sea, he did not know the curse. He and all who followed him drowned, and in death, they were awakened to continue their vigil of Carthax Lake. They wait for a time when rivers and streams will reconnect the Lake to the great oceans, when Hydros will return to drown the world.

I believe that this location exists north of the eastern gates of Delucia at 60 degrees South 40 degrees West. I have tried to visit this location, but strange undead scared me away. Are these the final Tempests?
