The Memory Lake

Open on wiki ↗
event  End Road ·  Events (all zones)
You come across a lake that doesn't reflect the sky. Instead, the water shows strange visions - places you've never been, people you've never met, dreams that aren't yours. The lake is beautiful, but you can feel its power. One wrong step, and you might fall into someone else's nightmare. What will you do?
