			===Full Account===
			According to the surveyor from ''Hisparta'': ''"The seabed beneath Drunlake is especially deep. Ten miles down there sits a perfect ring of cliffs a mile high. The deepest point we surveyed was near the exact center of the circle, some fourteen miles down. Around the circle of cliffs sat massive conglomerations of stone with no clear geologic formation. The whole thing resembles nothing else besides an exit wound, as if something exploded outwards from deep within [[Aren]]."''

New page

[[Drunlake]] is a sea which separates [[Iami]] from [[Shenzen]], near [[Sarnath]]. It was long considered to be a region of little consequence, with poor fishing a bad storms come winter time. Most shipping coming out of [[Serpentia]] preferred to go the long way around Shenzen whenever possible; or to avoid ''"The true Drunlake"'' by skirting the edge closer to Sarnath.

==The Mystery of Drunlake==
In the mid [[Ages#The Third Age|Third Age]], with the [[Necromanic Wars]] in full-swing, the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]] set about completely its topoagraphic maps of the [[Greater Continent]] and surrounding land-masses. This was the first real large-scale attempt to map these regions, which previously sailors had relied on triangulation to navigate through.

The [[Gudersnipe School Geological Survey]] were then the first to realize that the coasts of Iami and Shenzen, where they met Drunlake, formed two semi-circles.
