Lake Murandova

Lake Murandova is a large lake, in the central region of Hashuru along the course of the Ansarién river. Formed from the confluence of the Rakhdumis and Komekhmis rivers with the Ansarién, it is a long and narrow lake, and one of the largest lakes in central Hashuru.

Names

 * Itarakoské: Murandova silnuya
 * Hashurukoské: Murandova

The name of the lake in Hashurukoské simply means 'Lake of Meeting' (muran 'meeting, joining'; dova 'lake'), referring to the joining of three rivers at the spot.

Geography
Lake Murandova is in the shape of a long, narrow crescent, curving towards the east and then the north, with a significant southward branch around its middle. The merged river of the Rakhdumis and Komekhmis flows into this southern branch, while the Ansarién feeds into the western end of the river.

The lake is about 2,800 square kilometres in area; its southern and western shores are low-lying, and indeed quite prone to flooding. On its north, however, run a line of hills which include the Snowstone Top, a 178 metre hill that is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in Hashuru.
