You wake to find the elves have prepared you a simple breakfast of local flora, fruits and dried meats. Not just enough for breakfast, but a care package of the same for a meal later in the day. When you get yourselves sorted, Killian shows you to a small canoe and teaches you how to portage it safely and to take care of the vessel. When your meal and lessons are finished, you are set on your way to Rhest. It's a long, but relatively uneventful, ride down the river towards the ruins of Rhest.
A large, dark lake broods in the marshland here, measuring nearly two miles wide. The cloying reek of decaying vegetation and swamp ooze is thick in the air, and countless frogs and insects and marsh birds chirp and croak and call to each other. Out near the middle of the lake, dozens of decrepit stone buildings just from the black waters. In most cases, these buildings sag and lean treacherously, the windows of their upper stories now even with the still lake's surface. Two buildings that seem to have survived relatively intact draw your attention-- one a large stone tower, about a quater-mile from the southern shore (2), and the other a large stone building near the lake's center (3). Both structures have rickety wooden walkways ringing them at water level. These look like recent additions, it would seem that someone has made an attempt to settle down here.
You can see a variety of streams lead into the lake. At each intersection point there appear to be huts on stilts above the black water (1).
