Large structures have previously existed on the Purelake, though their continued existence is questioned by scholars. A large obsidian fortress once existed somewhere on the lake, prior to the [[Recreance]], however it is believed to have been destroyed. Modern day Purelakers still speak of large structures existing on the lake, although this is dismissed by those outside the region as mythology.{{book ref|sa2|4}} This fortress is not related to the geography of the Purelake in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|2889}}
A [[Order of Skybreakers|Skybreaker]] compound sits along the northern edge of the Purelake, in [[Marabethia]].{{book ref|sa3|90}}

During the time of the [[Silver Kingdoms]], the Purelake was controlled by [[Sela Tales]].{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} When the kingdom disintegrated, the region splinted, with the Purelake seeming to become its own country.
At some point prior to the [[Recreance]],

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.{{book ref|sa1|22}}{{book ref|sa2|4}} Although he has wished to explore the region more when visiting nearby countries, he
In the year {{Rosharan date|1173}} three members of the [[Seventeenth Shard]], [[Galladon]], [[Demoux]], and [[Baon]], traveled to the Purelake, believing it to be the current location of [[Hoid]].{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} 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.{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}} As such, Ishikk was ultimately unsuccessful and unable to find any evidence of Hoid having been in the area.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
=== Peoples ===
==== Purelakers ====
The Purelake is sparsely populated, with inhabitants living in small remote villages.{{wob ref|5081}} These settlements are most likely connected through trade, as many Purelakers work as fishermen
One of their weekdays is known as warli-day.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
Purelakers are also rather unconcerned with the notion of exact time, and do not understand why foreigners care so much about it.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
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.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}

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.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} Despite Purelakers preference for sun exposure, it is possible to purchase sun-brimmed hats in the region.{{book ref|sa3|49}}
The fashion of the Purelake is known for being rather unchanging.{{book ref|sa3|49}}
Purelakers are known to be highly religious{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} with their religion made up of 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 was a spiteful god, prone to jealousy over the attention that was 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.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} It is unclear whether the Purelakers have been successful in their trickery of Vun Makak.{{wob ref|3250}}

Purelakers speak [[Selay]],{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} which is derived from the same language group as that of [[Iri]], the [[Reshi]] Islands, and other north-west parts of Roshar.{{wob ref|3977}} 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.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
