- ICE LAKE

Navigating Emera Lake in Children of the Sun. Learn about its history, the spooky ghost rumors, and key characters like Boris Jineman and his nanny.

Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon Emera Lake in Children of the Sun. It's a pretty chilling spot, and honestly, a bit of a swamp where even the sun struggles to get through. Think tangled, rotten plants – kind of creepy, right? It used to be called 'Emerald' because the water was so clear and green, but things have changed. This place is located in the Longgord region of the Travaches Republic. You'll hear a lot of spooky stories about it, mostly from the nanny of the House of Jineman. She'll tell you there's a ghost, a 'Golmodap', that snatches children away. She even warns Young Master Boris Jineman not to go near it, especially with its glowing red eyes. Boris, bless him, half-believed it, even though he never saw these red eyes himself, despite staring into the darkness on stormy nights. The older servants seem to back up the story, so it's a tale that's stuck around. Things get really intense when Yulken Jineman is talking to Boris. He points towards the lake, and Boris gets spooked because he knows that's where the red-eyed ghosts are supposed to be. Yulken tries to convince Boris there are no ghosts and that he should hide near a clump of three trees with black bark at the lake's base. It seems like Yulken is trying to get Boris to hide there while he deals with something else, possibly related to Tulkh and a magical word. Yulken then shouts for Boris to go and runs off, leaving Boris alone. Boris is understandably scared, hearing the sounds from the manor and approaching the lake. He gets pulled back, stops, hesitates, and eventually tries to circumvent the lake as darkness falls. He hears water, wonders if it's a stream or just the rain, and really doesn't want to think about what might be there.
