Sun Lake

The Sun Lake (Namono: Vayėtatror [va.jə.ˈta.tɾɔɾ]) is a montane lake in Naiparku, located in the middle of the Central Mountains in Rėpayu. It borders the estates Mėyadus, Midik and Jamivayėt: it is considered sacred and not belonging to any of the estates, although the three above administer parts of the lake de facto. It has an area of 1846.64 km2, and an elevation of 986 meters. The main outflow of the lake is the Gakawat River, which drains the lake from the western side. Its dimension and appearance resembles those of Lake Tana, Lake Sevan, or Namtso on Earth.

During the Colorian Eclipse, people are supposed to avoid the vicinity of the lake, as it is considered to be the moment when the God of Sea (Aguja) converses with the ancestral spirits dwelling in the Spiritual Sky (Hoshodi, "Final Sea"). After the eclipse ends, it is customary for Nahmons to make a pilgrimage to the lake to purify themselves and to renew their relationship with ancestors' wisdom.
