Glasspool is a lake on the continent of Akoum on Zendikar.
Description
Glasspool is the only fixed body of water of any notable size on the continent of Akoum. It is a huge lake, strangely hexagonal, over two miles across.[1] Seismic activity and the Roil somehow fail to affect it. Most sentient creatures avoid the eerie cool, clean, and clear water, although amphibious drakes are known to make the lake their home, drawn perhaps to the only reliable source of blue mana in the mountain range.[2]
Glass Haven is a Kor Haven on the shores the Glasspool.[2]
Ior is a ruined site at the bottom of Glasspool. It is a sacred pilgrimage site for the plane's Kor and is thought to be the archive of an ancient civilization's magical knowledge.[3][1] Ior is one of six ruins on Zendikar known to be pre-Eldrazi, meaning it is over 6000 years old.[4]
History
During the eldrazi's return, kor gathered in the area around Glasspool, carving dwellings out of the peaks surrounding the lake and protecting it with a webbing made from hooks and ropes.[1]
