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.

Unlike the eastern countries on [[Roshar]], the Purelake is not known to be overly confrontational or involved in internal, or external, fighting.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}

==== Purelakers ====

 

 

===== Appearance and Personality =====

 

 

===== Health =====

Purelakers, like many [[Roshar]]ans, 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.{{wob ref|912}}

The fashion of the Purelake is known for being rather unchanging.{{book ref|sa3|49}}

=== Religion ===

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}}

 

 

 

Vun Makak is said to approve of lies and false stories.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}} Nu Ralik is believed to provide the day.{{book ref|sa1|i|1}}
