215 - God of Eel Lake

Plotline: Main

Type: Social Conflict

Please let me state here a few things I would soon learn.

Spotted Eel Lake is, as one might suspect, named after the spotted eels that eat the paltry fish there. The eels taste terrible, especially for the nutrition they provide. They are eaten by the Elder Spotted Eels, the adult form of that species. Those, in turn, were eaten by the River God, whom I'm about to get to, just not next.

The entire lake was artificial, and existed only because of the Eel river dam, which powered not one, but two massive mills, one for grain and the other for lumber. (And if you want to throw your logistical brain into revolt, that timber came in by land, and finished lumber out by boat. Because structural rating and other properties, not just because humans were being... anyway, there were reasons for this apparent madness.
