Ronom Lake was an immense lake in the center of the continent of Terisiare, at the time of the Brothers' War on Dominaria.
History
Ronom was a part of the Gixian lands during the Brothers' War until they were driven out around 69 AR in the First Talite Crusade. By 80 AR, a school of magic and artifice was founded along the Lake by Ashnod and Tawnos.[1]
The sweet water lake, almost an inland sea, was the drainage basin for the Ronom Glacier. Ronom Lake bordered the lands of Sarinth, and the lake had faired as badly as the land during the Brothers' War. Where once there were expanses of white beach now only leprous gray moss flourished, and the lake itself was little more than wide expanses of stagnant, oily water broken by pungent algae blooms in greasy shades of green and red.[2]
During the Ice Age, the remainder of the lake dried up, as the growing Ronom Glacier no longer provided any meltwater. Just east of the former lake, the Frost Marsh near the dark keep of Tresserhorn came into being.[3]
Ronom Lake is popularly believed to have been in the region of present-day Jharth.[4]
