Lake Gwenalion
Lake Gwenalion is large lake in south central Therengia that drains into the Faldesu River.. The lake is deep, boggy, and frequently covered by a heavy fog and known to freeze over during winter. It is as much a loch as it is a lake, with steep rocky sides covered in thick forests, the lake is difficult to access where the terrain doesn't naturally dip down to the waters. The lake is one of the dominating physical features of central Therengia, and its waters have given life to numerous settlements over time; Riverhaven, Langenfirth, and Rossman's Landing all sit upon its banks and utilize the depths for fishing and travel.
Transportation
Barges
Two barges, The Northern Pride and Theren's Star, continuously sail between Riverhaven and Langenfirth. The barges take 10 to 15 minutes to sail and remain at each dock for 4 minutes. They are owned by Ditsworth and each contain a casino: Ditsworth's Floating Casino (Northern Pride) and Ditsworth's Floating Casino (Theren's Star)
Rentable Boats
Rentable boats can be found inside a gate on the docks of Langenfirth, Riverhaven, and Rossman's Landing. There are approximately 10 total boats for rent. The boats cost 1 gold Kronar to rent for 1 full hour. Anyone who rents a boat will also have the "Captain" pre-title for 1 full hour.

Sailing Lake Gwenalion
Turn wheel left or right, will turn 5 degrees at a time, you want to turn at about 30 degrees (best angle, others are possible) then once you have executed the turn, turn the wheel back the other way until it is centered again. You cannot reach full speed unless your wheel is centered.
Note: You cannot command your pilot to sail TO something you cannot already see in the water. You can command your pilot to sail FOR Riverhaven or Langenfirth from any point on the lake, regardless of whether or not you can see their docks.
Rossman's Landing
If you leave from Haven sail straight north (Command your pilot to TRIM the sails until you are at full speed). After a time your pilot will lose tacking and stop the ship. When this happens, command them to sail toward the long wood dock (which you should now be able to see) and trim twice. Trimming more than that will put your speed to high and they will anchor again.
If you leave from Langenfirth sail east/northeast until you see the long wood dock. (same as above).
If coming from Rossman's you can just backtrace the directions above.
Riverhaven or Langenfirth
Command your pilot to SAIL FOR RIVERHAVEN or SAIL FOR LANGENFIRTH.
Buoys
Also on the lake are buoys in red, orange, yellow, white, and white and blue.
