Lake of Steam

Despite its namen the Lake of Steam is a quasi-inner sea connected to the Shining Sea in much the same way as the Caspian Sea is to the Mediterranean Sea is on Earth. With the Shaar on the east, it separates the Shining South from the rest of Faerûn.

On its shores is a collection of free cities (notably Ankhapur), mainly on the northern and western sides. The southern side, by contrast, is a collection of kingdoms collectivelly named the Border Kingdoms. At the center of the lake is The Arnrock.
