Bittertide Lake is a lake which sits near the Glimmering Pillar and inhabited by hydras, located in northwestern Sholazar Basin. A river flows into the basin from the North Sea, collecting for a time in this lake. When the lake overfills, the water crashes down the Bittertide Falls to River's Heart. The lake's name probably comes from the salt water coming in from the sea, which makes the lake brackish.[1] Along the northern bank is a gorloc village named Mistwhisper Refuge.
The Bittertide Falls,[46, 46] although referred to by name, does not actually exist as a subzone. These falls can be found a little east of the lake, towards the River's Heart.
Trivia[]
- On the small island in Bittertide Lake, a hatch with a glowing window can be found in the ground. Upon mouseover, the numbers "5 9 16 17 24 43" appear. The whole island itself is a reference to Lost, an American serial drama television series in which the survivors of a plane crash are stranded on an island. The numbers "4 8 15 16 23 42" are seen in Lost, which are only 1 digit smaller than those seen in-game.
- In his report, Muradin Bronzebeard recommends not drinking from this lake, since it's chock-full of hydras.[1]
