Under the South West shadow of Moonlight Peak lays the lush, life-filled Deepwater Lakes. The middle lake is named Father Lake. The one to the left of it is called Mother Lake, while the North West and East are called Brother Lake and Sister Lake. These lakes are extremely deep. If something heavy were to sink down to the bottom, chances are it will never be seen again even with the lake's clearness! The lakes are teaming with life; frogs, birds, insects and countless varieties of fish are all part of the plethora of animals within the lakes. A skilled hunter could get his or her share with enough skill. One must be careful though. The lake gets very deep very quickly, and an unskilled swimmer would soon find their sodden bodies being eaten by fish and birds.
The area around the lakes is just as lush. Large oak trees are dotted around with smaller growing ones not far behind. The mix of the young and old trees creates tiny forests and allows dens and foxholes. Long grass and flowers cover the ground allowing predators to stalk and surprise their prey. Any herd or lone prey animal must keep on constant lookout for an attack. Speaking of prey, there are many that are attracted here for the numerous food opportunities. They aren’t the only ones. In the sky there are many birds that make their nest here. In the trees there are many small animals. In the grass there are voles, lemmings and mice. In response, lynxes, bears, wolverines, eagles, hawks, ravens and wolves all come here to feast on their prey!
In winter though, all of this changes. Much of the grass dies; small animal populations dwindle as do birds. The large prey is totally scarce as well, thus the same with predators. Worse still, the lakes gain a thin layer of ice making virtually all fish scarce too. Walking on this ice layer would be taking your life in your own paws or hooves. The ice could easily break and you could drown! However taking this risk could get you the fish that could save you from starving.
The name of the lakes were named by the legendary wolf XXX, who came to this place as an orphaned pup. As he was so upset and lonely after his pack's death that he named all of the lakes by their size. XXX managed to survive here and do many great things that went down in legend. But that is a whole other story…
