Lake Zarovich

Lake Zarovich is a large lake located north of Vallaki towards the northern reaches of Barovia. A river flows from the east of the lake to the south-east through Tser Pool and Tser Falls, and past Barovia village. Another, the River Luna, flows from the west of Lake Zarovich to the south, between Vallaki and Berez.

The lake is utilised by the fishermen of Vallaki, including Bluto Krogarov, who was a regular at the Blue Water Inn. When approached by the party of Hallgrimm Mikkenson, Narid Ashplantt, and Eklyre Temere, he threw a burlap sack containing Arabelle into the lake, but she was rescued by Hallgrimm. He commented that he was trying to improve his fishing luck by providing some kind of offering to the "monster of Lake Zarovch".

He would shortly afterwards fall into the lake and be eaten by the monster - a gitrog - himself.

The party were able to obtain yew logs from the north of the lake, and noticed a lone elk watching them. This elk would reveal itself to be none other than Archmage Khazan.
