Long Lake is an artificial lake above Arindell, impounded by a series of dams, which feeds the [[Mourn River]]. The dam was contructed in [[Eieber]]'s time to ensure a stable water source for the city, but was replaced several times during the [[Ages#The Golden Age|Golden Age]]

==Lieber Dam==
The first dam impounding Long Lake was an earthworks construction made primarily of mud brick. It was a mammoth structure for it's time, but not exceptionally well-thought out. This dam breached in the early Golden Age and caused severe damage downstream, also destroying some buildings in Arindell proper. Initial talks of reconstructing it were fast-tracked when unusually heavy rains caused flooding on the Mourn. A strong, simple dam made from cut stone was added primarily for flood control.

By the end of the Golden Age, the city had grown to the point where it's water demands were serious, and the simple flood control damn was not impounding a large enough reservoir. The Alliance government had serious fears that another damn failure could cause serious damage to the city, and contracted the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]] to construct 'an edifice that could last all the days of the Alliance'.

The Foundation delivered, building the massive Lieber Dam, a concrete arch structure a thousand feet high and over two thousand long. It created a considerably larger lake than the Alliance had originally called for, enough to feed an extensive canal network connecting the Stormreaver Valley to the [[Agras Plains]] and hold water to supply the city for over a century.

In front of Lieber Dam, a second, even larger edifice was constructed, this time an enormous gravity damn, created as a precaution against overtopping. The two structures together, the Foundation assured, were effectively an artificial mountain.
