Impresk Lake lies at the heart of the barony of Impresk in the land of Erlkazar, nestled between the wind-swept Shining Plains and the snow-fed slopes of the mighty Snowflake Mountains. Fed by numerous rivers and alpine streams, its waters are cold, clear, and deep—famed for their pristine beauty and biting chill even in summer months. The lake serves as a vital geographic and economic artery for the region, draining into the Deepwash via the short but swift Shalane River. The town of Carradoon, perched on a southern peninsula, is its most prominent settlement—known both for its scenic vistas and as the birthplace of Cadderly Bonaduce, priest of Deneir and hero of the Time of Troubles. The lake’s cold waters teem with fish and are occasionally shrouded in thick morning fog, lending it a reputation for quiet, solemn mystery. Though tranquil on the surface, its proximity to ancient ruins and the untamed heights of the Snowflake Mountains invites the unexpected.

The lake resembles a polished sapphire, with deep northern waters fed by snowmelt and calmer southern banks dotted with marshes. At dawn, a silver mist rises from the surface, while clear days reveal the majestic reflection of the Snowflake Mountains, contrasting with Carradoon's warm stone architecture.
