Lake Wintermist The Nerath Campaign & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Nerath campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Perpetually shrouded in icy fog, Lake Wintermist provides ample supplies of fish for the human clans of the Winterbole Forest, the western shore village of Mistwatch, and a few homesteads along its southern shore. White dragons frequently appear in the northern reach of the lake, particularly in the dead of winter when they seek out mates.

Fed from the icy glacial runoff of the Cairngorm Peaks and dark waters of Winterbole Forest, Lake Wintermist is a mysterious place. Hot volcanic springs on the western shores of the lake keep the place shrouded in mist which perpetually falls in freezing sheets, refracting the light into thousands of colorful sparkles. It is said that the fey Winter Court once favored this place before the fall of the Winter Queen. The Winter River carries the icy waters of the lake to meet the Nentir River below the Gray Downs.

Lake Wintermist is a more secluded body of water within the Nentir Vale. Residents of Winterhaven might have more information on this section of the region, but those to the Southern and Eastern parts aren’t familiar with its history. Most people who don’t live on the Western side of the Nentir Vale aren’t interested in visiting the lake due to all the strange activity going on within the Winterbole Forest, which encircles half of the lake. All anyone cares to know is that the lake exists, and lies to the northeast of Winterhaven.
