Yellow Lake

Description

Interpretation from Altair, moderator and infamous editor–

"The caverns of the Yellow Lake lie below the land above; everything moves slowly in a viscous fog, and it's waxy rivers drip into a dirty white lake. The trunks of spermaceti that hang from the ceiling reflect the cyclopean masonry of the Fen Churches. This is the village's dark undercarriage."

The Yellow Lake is a very large underground cave reached from the beach, it's main feature being a lake of spermaceti at its deepest point. Trunks of hardened spermaceti fall from the foggy ceiling into a network of rivers, which all flow into the lake. The corpses of animals float down the rivers and into the lake, where they eventually wash up on its shore. They can also be seen in the pillars of spermaceti, absorbed into its wax. Swarms of rod-shaped insects can be found patrolling the dark passages and hollowed caverns, which cause blindness if one gets too close.

The Healing Pig

Healing Pig is an animal that has been washed up on the shore of the Yellow Lake. Parts of the pig are still covered in spermaceti wax, and parts of it are missing. It is surrounded by thousands of other similarly washed up creatures, none of which are alive. The pig is despondant, but if one has the Frances Incense it will speak.

Dialogue

I remember sinking down to the bottom,

And there are creatures here that I don't think I'll see again.

I've changed now, I've seen so much,

Our bodies are different now,

we think we can never die.

And I don't know what's happened to me,

and I don't really care.

One day I was asleep,

now I am awake.
