Lakeland is a human city (which once belonged to elves) on the shore of Lake Maw. Lakeland is a fishing community and uses the Maw River as a highway on which it trades goods with the city of Droon.
In Blaine McDaine’s Guide to Far Away Land the author says, “Lakeland is rightfully a human city. Even with the lofty, and at times arrogant architecture that remains from its elven days, Lakeland is a human city unlike any other.”
