The smallest and southernmost of the western lakes, Jabok is nearly dry—a muddy depression that fills only during heavy rains. Before the empire, villages surrounded it; now only their foundations remain, visible when the water level drops.
Some say the villages drowned when the lake rose unexpectedly, their populations becoming its first residents. Others claim the empire drained the lake deliberately, exposing the villages to destruction, and that the water has never fully returned. The truth is likely more mundane—climate shifts, upstream damming—but in Chaal Nazzerox, every tragedy acquires supernatural explanation.
