Lake Aster is a body of water in Asteria. The lake is named after the large number of aster flowers that grow around its shores. A number of rivers, most originating from within the Runewith Mountains, Sentinel Peaks, or Whispering Hills, feed into the lake.
Most settlements in Asteria have grown around Lake Aster, though recent waves of colonization have begun to spread out farther afield.
Those that live around Lake Aster tell tales of a huge and mysterious monster that hides in the depths of the lake. Descriptions vary, but most agree the creature to be some form of long necked freshwater sea serpent. Nobody can quite agree as to whether the creature is hostile or friendly, or even how many there are. All who claim to have spotted the monster report that it almost immediately vanished back under the surface.
