Moon Lake

Description
Moon Lake is a great lake in the heart of the Urael Forests. The lake contains minerals which naturally absorb magical energies and are released by moonlight. At night, the lake radiates white and blue light and is the site of many rituals of the Urael.

Blue Moon Festival
Once per year in mid-autumn, the Urael gather at the banks of the Moon Lake. When the moon is full, the lake itself causes the sky to change colour to a golden hue with a great blue moon in the centre. It is an important ritual within Urael culture that juveniles on the brink of adulthood let loose a hot-air lantern into the sky. If the lantern travels towards the moon it is an indication that they should remain within the forests. If the lantern drifts to the horizon then that Urael's destiny lies elsewhere.
