Dream Master Lake
Lore
Dream Master Lake is located in the central part of the known Runiverse. It lies just east of The Secret Tower, and is bound to the south by Fur Gnome Wold.
A large, idyllic, tranquil lake in Honeybee Valley. The mountains to the north are reflected in the mirrored surface of the lake, and on the clearest days, one can even catch glimpses of the Sacred Pillars.
In the summer, the air is thick with pollen, inducing a hazy slumber on those around it. Even the myriad animals that inhabit the surrounding forests, such a bear, deer, boar, and rabbits, and more magical beasts like perytons and pygmy unicorns, find themselves dazing under trees to the sound of bees on the breeze. Wizards who study the Art of Dreams come here year round to hone their Slumbermancy.

Dream Master Lake and Surrounding Woods
The thick tangled branches that surround Dream Master Lake, hold up a canopy that spans for miles in all directions like a blanket, cutting the forest off from the outside world. Ancient trees stand like gnarled wooden columns of some lost city; the gaps between forming winding paths and trails like forgotten roads. It's in the center of these lost woods Dream Master Lake lies.
Many Wizards try making a pilgrimage to the lake to learn of the mysteries the Dream Masters have to offer. It can be difficult to navigate the lost woods. There are many spirits that inhabit the surrounding woods, many leading travelers off trail and very few offer protection.
