Sometime following his death, a vortex of shadows consumed it entirely, leaving only an empty pit hundreds of feet on a side and incredibly deep. Over the centuries, it has become a lake, but one with distinctly dark reputation that has spawned a host of legends and while locals studiously avoid the lake, tourists have visited it for centuries looking for a dark thrill. Some find what they are looking for and some are never seen again.
