Crystal Gold Lake

Crystal Gold Lake is located upon Heathfield lands. Mists skimmed her surface of water in the early morning to be cleared away with the heat of sunrays as the day wore on. It got its name for the golden hues set upon its surface at sunset of rich golden and orange colors. Its waters warmed early in the spring and kept evenly temperature throughout the summer months right into fall. Sandy beaches and areas of boulders, some of which jutted out over the lake's deeper waters. Clear, clean waters with a shoreline curving, dipping in and out of covers in a general circumference of around hundred miles. The largest lake of the three adjoining kingdoms. Picnic tables are up from the sandy shore in grassy covers beneath pine and oak trees. A large pit of seven feet round between them and the sandy area off to one side. It is large enough to roast a pig in and has flat rocks positioned within the circumference to heat pans and pots on. Canoes and row boats readily accessible from the smaller docks down from the sandy swimming area. Paddles inside under the seats. Cushions also stored within.

The legend of Old One Eye goes as far back as King Chadrick I. In his younger days when he was around sixteen there was rumored to be this wide mouth bass of an enormous size. Chadrick had found the rumor to be true but the hook had snagged this growing legend in the eye. In the battling struggle that followed, the monster fish lost this eye in exchange for his freedom. He became known as Old One Eye. There is a sealed small chest of inlaid gold that contains a mystery dowry for the one that can land this fish. It is of value in its worth. The one whom lands the fish, even if this fish is returned to the lake, wins this chest set up by the former King Chadrick I himself.
