“El Lagopuro parecía extenderse sin límite, amplio como un océano... Cerca de la costa asomaban rocas de la superficie, pero más hacia el centro el Lagopuro se tornaba plácido, más vacío. ”
El Lagopuro es un lago interior poco profundo ubicado en el centro norte de Roshar.[2] Se conoce a la gente de la región como lagopureños y son de etnia Selay.[3]

El Lagopuro está influenciado, en cierta medida, por Cultivación, aunque es anterior a ella.[4] Se desconoce si Cultivación tiene una perpendicularidad secundaria en Lagopuro.[5]
Geografía y entorno
Geografía
El Lagopuro es un lago grande y poco profundo que tiene cientos de kilómetros de ancho.[3] Está separado del mar Reshi por la nación de Marabezia. El Lagopuro limita con las naciones de Tu Bayla al este, Yulay al sur, y Babatharnam al oeste.[2] En Shadesmar, el Lagopuro es una cordillera montañosa.[6] La profundidad del lago en el Reino Físico no se correlaciona con su apariencia en el Cognitivo.[7]

Las aguas del Lagopuro son cálidas y cristalinas, y la superficie suele estar calmada y tranquila a pesar de las mareas. El lago tiene una profundidad media que llega aproximadamente hasta la mitad de la pantorrilla, aunque en algunos puntos puede alcanzar hasta 6 palmos.[3] Estas zonas más profundas probablemente coinciden con las fisuras del lago.[8] El fondo del lago tiene pequeñas crestas y afilados salientes de roca, lo que puede provocar que caminar por el Lagopuro sea peligroso. Los lagopureños son expertos en moverse por este terreno, sabiendo cómo evaluar su firmeza antes de apoyar el peso.[3]
Se desconoce qué tipo de depósitos minerales, si los hay, se pueden encontrar en la zona del lago.[9]

Otras localizaciones
En el pasado existieron grandes estructuras en el Lagopuro, pero los eruditos dudan que sigan existiendo. Una gran fortaleza de obsidiana existió en algún lugar del lago, antes de la Traición, pero se cree que fue destruida. Los lagopureños de la actualidad aún hablan de la existencia de estas estructuras en el lago, aunque aquellos de fuera de la región lo consideran mitología.[10] Esta fortaleza no está relacionada con la geografía del Lagopuro en el Reino Cognitivo.[7]
Un recinto de los Rompedores del Cielo se encuentra a lo largo del borde norte del Lagopuro, en Marabezia.[11]
Clima
“Like an endless bay, mere feet deep. Warm water. Calm breezes. ”
El Lagopuro tiene un clima tropical que es, de forma constante, cálido[3] y húmedo[11] con suaves brisas.[12] El paso de la alta tormenta es el único moento en el que la temperatura desciende y el clima del lago se vuelve frío.[3] El clima del Lagopuro es similar al de Hallandren, en el planeta Nalthis.[12]
La alta tormenta es más débil en el Lagopuro de lo que es más al este, y aunque sigue siendo una tempestad, no es lo suficientemente fuerte para desprender peñascos o derribar edificios expuestos. Durante una tormenta, el Lagopuro se drena a través a de agujeros y pozos en el suelo. Aquellos que se encuentran en el exterior, aseguran su balsa entre dos macizos rocosos y la usan como cortavientos para resistir la tormenta. [3]
Ecología
“The Purelake was life itself. ”
El Lagopuro alberga una gran cantidad de formas de vidad como peces, cremlinos, y riospren.[3] También se sabe que el área tiene pequeñas moscas marrones, parecidas a los hambrespren.[13] Se pueden encontrar árboles en las orillas del Lagopuro,[1] junto con un tipo de babosa utilizada para crear un tinte para ropa conocido como rojo micalino.[14]
The fish in the Purelake have magical properties[11] and form symbiotic bonds with spren.[15] This Investiture does not come from Honor,[16] but may come from Cultivation.[4] The magical nature of these fish is similar to that of Aviar from the island Patji, on the planet First of the Sun.[17]
The exact magical manifestations of these animals is unknown. The local inhabitants believe certain creatures to imbue specific supernatural gifts; however, it is yet to be seen whether the Purelakers' superstitions are based in fact or fiction. While it may be the case that these fish grant the abilities specified by the native inhabitants, it is uncertain whether the Purelaker religion correlates directly with the magical properties of these lifeforms.[3]
Tipos de formas de vida
Historia
The Purelake existed prior to the arrival of Shards on Roshar,[4] likely created by Adonalsium when he created the system.
Reinos de Época
During the time of the Silver Kingdoms, the Purelake was controlled by Sela Tales.[3] When the kingdom disintegrated, the region splintered, with the Purelake seeming to become its own country.
At some point prior to the Recreance, one of Sja-anat's spies and a thunderclast attacked a group of soldiers near an obsidian fortress assumed to be on the Purelake. Dalinar visited the battle in a vision provided to him by the Stormfather.[10]
Era de la Soledad
In his youth, Dalinar traveled to the west of Roshar and visited the border of the Purelake, but he never had the chance to see the center.[18][10] Although he has wished to explore the region more when visiting nearby countries, he was never able to find the time.[10]
In the year 1173 three members of the Seventeenth Shard, Galladon, Demoux, and Baon, traveled to the Purelake, believing it to be the current location of Hoid.[3] To try and find him, they enlisted the help of a Purelaker, Ishikk, who traveled to the different Purelake villages over the span of five months. Unbeknownst to Ishikk, the trail he was following had been falsely laid by Hoid to distract and avoid the Seventeenth Shard members who were seeking him.[19] As such, Ishikk was ultimately unsuccessful and unable to find any evidence of Hoid having been in the area.[3]
Later that year, the Purelake experienced the spread of an off-world illness, the common cold, which had been transmitted to the locals by either the Seventeenth Shard members or another worldhopper.[20][21]
La Verdadera Desolación
In 1174, a group of criminals escaped from a jail on the northern edge of the Purelake. The Skybreakers were called in to catch the escapees, who had broken out of the jail and fled. The Skybreaker acolytes were tasked with finding the criminals and bringing them to justice, with the exercise also testing their understanding of the law.[1]
Following the Battle of Thaylen Field, Iri, with the help of Odium's forces, captured most of the western kingdoms, which may have included the Purelake.[22]
Política
During the Silver Kingdoms, the Purelake was governed by the king of Sela Tales. After the fall of the Epoch Kingdoms, it appears that the Purelake broke away from the surrounding lands and established sovereignty, with local inhabitants forming autonomous villages. Modern-day Purelakers are more likely to define themselves based on their geography than country borders.[3]
People who live outside of the Purelake find the inhabitants to be strange, and do not understand the appeal of living within a lake. The Azish are particularly dismissive of the region, believing that there is nothing of consequence on the lake, and are baffled why anyone would want to visit the area.[10][1]
Unlike the eastern countries on Roshar, the Purelake is not known to be overly confrontational or involved in internal, or external, fighting.[3]
The region may now be under the control of Odium's forces, with the surround lands having been captured by Iri and the Fused. Iri may have wished to have control of the Purelake for several generations.[22]
Cultura
The Purelake is sparsely populated, with inhabitants living in small remote villages.[23] These settlements are most likely connected through trade, as many Purelakers work as fishermen who will travel around in order to sell their stock. Most Purelakers own a raft that they use for sleep and to transport items.[3]
One of their weekdays is known as warli-day.[3] Soup bowls on the Purelake are designed to allow for easy slurping.[3]
Gente
Gente de Lagopuro
“A good Purelaker never covered his shoulders when the sun was shining. A man could get sick that way, not getting enough sunlight. ”
—Ishikk.[3]
Purelakers are known for their long limbs, leathery skin, and dark hair.[24] In general, they have happy-go-lucky attitudes and are rarely fazed by misfortune.[3] They have a relaxed way of life and enjoy taking their time. They see no need to rush and will go about their tasks in a slow, leisurely manner, allowing themselves to think more about their actions and enjoy the day.[3]
Purelakers are also rather unconcerned with the notion of exact time, and do not understand why foreigners care so much about it.[3] As a whole, they are rather unimpressed by foreigners, believing that they are constantly in a hurry and act oddly due to their avoidance of nature. Purelakers do not understand why anyone would not want to live on the Purelake, but, at the same time, do not want outsiders coming to fill up the area.[3]
Purelakers typically wear sandals and knee-length pants so they can maximize their exposure to the lake. Men rarely cover their upper body, preferring to leave their shoulders and torsos bare to the sun.[3] Despite Purelakers' preference for sun exposure, it is possible to purchase wide-brimmed hats in the region.[25] The fashion of the Purelake is known for being rather unchanging.[25]
Purelakers' feet don't get wrinkled.[26]
Romopedores del Cielo
The Skybreakers have a stronghold on the northern edge of the Purelake in Marabethia that is used to train acolytes. They will often use their surroundings for this training, including by placing items in the lake, to be used by the squires.[11][8]
The Marabethian government is aware they are in the region and will contact the Skybreakers if they require assistance with enforcement.[1] It is unknown if the Purelakers are aware of the order's presence along their northern shore and how much contact they have with the Skybreakers.
Szeth visits the Purelake at some point before becoming a Skybreaker.[1]
Sociedad y costumbres
“¡Ah, ese bastión de la cultura y la moda! ¿La próxima vez irás de compras a Bavlandia? ”
Purelakers speak Selay,[3] which is in the same language group as the languages of Iri, the Reshi Islands, and other northwestern parts of Roshar.[27] The Purelake dialect is heavily influenced by the inhabitants' way of life and their religious beliefs, with many sayings relating to the weather, the lake, or their gods.[3]
Purelaker buildings have the appearance of rockbuds, with domed roofs. They are among the few things to break the surface of the Purelake.[3] The buildings of Purelakers are typically built on blocks or stilts. However, they are still set a few inches below surface level, keeping the floor covered in water. The buildings will drain when the tide is low.[3] Although housing exists, some Purelakers see no point in sleeping indoors, instead opting to sleep on rafts.[3]
Purelakers use a trade system that generates favors by providing products. The economy is likely heavily dependent on the fishing trade, with many Purelakers nomadically travelling the area in search of rare fish.[3]
Purelakers, like many Rosharans, are inherently healthier than average due to the nature of Roshar's Investiture. Because of this, they are unaccustomed to illnesses, particularly those that are easily transmissible and able to spread across wide distances through infectious carriers. Their infrequent interaction with infectious illnesses makes them likely to unintentionally overstate the severity of a disease, due to its unfamiliarity.[21]
Due to the region's low population density and pre-industrial society, waste accumulation does not pose any major concerns. Human waste is naturally broken down by the surrounding ecosystem and then removed by the highstorm, while man-made trash either naturally breaks down on its own, if possible, or is removed by passing travelers.[23]
Religión
“I swear it by Vun Makak. May he watch over me and curse me as he pleases.”
Purelakers are known to be highly religious;[24] their religion is based on two gods, Nu Ralik and his younger brother Vun Makak, and seemingly focused around the bestowment of suffering. Although the Purelakers consider Nu Ralik to be their true god, they must hide their worship of him, lest they anger his brother. According to mythology, Vun Makak is a spiteful god, prone to jealousy over the attention that is paid to his sibling. In order to deceive Vun Makak, the Purelakers only vocalize praises about the younger god and keep the name of their true god hidden.[3] It is unclear whether the Purelakers have been successful in their trickery of Vun Makak.[28]
Holy grottos are the only places where Purelakers can voice their worship for Nu Ralik freely.[3] It is unknown where these holy grottos are located and why the Purelakers believe them to be safe from Vun Makak's observation.
Outsiders do not understand the intricacies of the Purelaker religion, and will unwittingly speak of Nu Ralik freely.[3][29]
Vun Makak is said to approve of lies and false stories.[3] Nu Ralik is believed to provide the day.[3]
Supersticiones
Purelakers hold a number of superstitious beliefs that are associated with the ecology and environment of the Purelake. Many types of fish are considered to have special abilities or provide certain powers. These superstitions influence many aspects of the Purelaker lifestyle; inhabitants tend towards exposing a large amount of skin, as the sun is believed to bring good health, while the magical properties of area's fauna affects the value of trade goods. Purelakers also believe that the tide of the lake can be used to predict the future.[3]
