Lake Arain [L4], Hârn’s third-largest lake, is located in the heart of the Sorkin Mountains and fed and drained by the Nephen River. The Khuzan kingdom of Azadmere lies along its eastern shore. Rich in minerals and often mirror-like in its tranquility, Arain has spiritual significance to the Khuzdul.

As with most Hârnic lakes, several unverified sightings have been made of a serpentine creature known as the Daranog cavorting in the moonlight. This has given rise to many folklore tales, such as “Daranog of the Lake”, a common folklore tale told throughout most of the eastern kingdoms.

Surrounded by high mountain peaks and colored deep blue in the sunlight, Lake Arain ranks as one of the fairest sights on Hârn.
