Zatarn lake

[Squaredeal Sten]

Does anyone know of any detail written up about Zatarn lake?  This body of water shows in the Argan Argar Atlas, located east north east of Whitewall and west of the Troll woods.  It may be the headwaters of the Marzeel River.  There is nothing about it in the Guide to Glorantha index..

Looks like Zatarn is a map typo in the Guide (it's Zatern on Greg's maps)

Zatern Lake: This deep lake is shared by the Balmyr, Kitori, and Kultain tribes. Beyond it are the Troll Woods, home of the Kitori tribe. Monsters occasionally emerge from its depths, and the trolls claim that at its bottom is an opening to the River Styx. It is the source of the Marzeel River.

Look at https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/the-tribes-of-sartar-1625-1626/ for better detail.

and

https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/clan-map-of-central-sartar/ for the tribe and clan borders around the lake.

small feeder streams run into the lake along the tribal borders

LOCAL: “Why, ’t’s a tarn, mistress.”

TRAVELLER: “Zatarn Lake — I must remember that. Thank you very much.”
