Lake Tusi Mek'ta

Type: Area
Zone: The Rak'tika Greatwood
(Norvrandt)

“

Ruins of ancient Ronka slumber unseen on the bed of this murky lake. The origin of "Tusi Mek'ta" is similarly unclear-some say the old Ronkan words refer to a watery lair where the great serpent of legend manifests its majesty, while others claim it is simply a poetic rendering of the tree roots that snake out over the water's surface.

Lake Tusi Mek'ta is an area in The Rak'tika Greatwood, Norvrandt.

Landmarks

Fruit of the Protector

Cradled within the branches of a giant tree, this immense crystal boulder is suspended above the waters of Lake Tusi Mek'ta. The Fruit of the Protector has been the subject of worship since the time of the Ronkan Empire, and even now folk tell the legend of the great entity believed to be cocooned within.

The Husk

Although nestled in a tree's embrace like the Fruit of the Protector, this dull hunk of crystal appears devoid of aether. Such lack of perceptible life energy has led some to assert that whatever divine being may have dwelled within, it has long since left—or perished.

The Covered Halls of Dwatl

The stone halls of this Ronkan Temple were safeguarded by a sect of priests even after the fall of the empire. The rising waters of the lake, however, could not be denied, and rumors of a secret treasure that was swallowed along with the temple persist.
