Lake Bentika is a massive freshwater inland sea on the [[Greater Continent]], and served as the capitol city and seat of power for the [[Marcon Alliance]] during the [[Mage Wars#The Dynastic Period|Dynastic Period]] of the [[Mage Wars]].

==Dimensions==
Lake Bentika is oddly-shaped and nearly 1,000 miles across at it's widest point. There is a single major portion and four smaller connected lobes. Because of it's shape it has several thousand miles of coastline, allowing for a great deal of trade and supplies of freshwater.

The lake is fed by two rivers originating in the [[Teeth of the World]] and forms the genesis of the [[Nara River]].

==History==
The lake is named for the [[Benka]], the sybol of ownership of the Marcons. What name it was known by in ancient times has not survived, but it is believed there were as many as eight separate lakes originally.

Sometime around the early Dynastic Period, the Marcons painstakingly reshaped the topography until the lakes formed a single massive benka from the air.

During the height of the Marcon Alliance the lake, islands within it, and the shoreline were heavily populated. With the decline and fall of the empire the region was left completely abandoned for much of the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period|Second Chaotic Period]] and well into the [[Ages#The Golden Age|Golden Age]]. In the early [[Ages#The Second Age|Second Age]] a series of expeditions were launched to reach Lake Bentika by sea. Allegedly, adventurers from [[Sun's Beacon]] were successful in traveling by sea to the Nara River Delta and all the way to Lake Bentika. A second expedition only a century later found the Nara to be impassable.

According to the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]], the series of attacks launched on the lake and the surrounding region should not have left any survivors. The entire area is today believed to be completely uninhabited.
