Lake Tunasninika



Lake Tunasninika is a large shallow lake in east-central Taatiklatar, west of the capital city of Alakina. Major cities along its shoreline include Huron, Lakeport, North Camp and America. It is the second largest body of water in Taatiklatar, only surpassed by Lake Anisa, and the largest entirely located within the country.

Formation
When water levels of the Gematia Ocean were substantially higher, all of Taatiklatar's present-day east coast was part of the ocean, including Lake Tunasninika, which formed a shallow bay stretching out into the continent. However, after the formation of the supercontinent Cypritania, the lake was cut off from the ocean and became a saline lake. It remained this way until rivers began to drain into the lake, most notably the precursor to the River Riosa. This, combined with increased precipitation, contributed to the lowering of salinity levels in the lake.

History
Lake Tunasninika was discovered by the initial Cyprus fly-by before the first Dawn program rocket touched down on the planet's surface. It was later explored by John Antoine in the early days of the planet's settlement, and this was the time that many major cities were founded, such as North Camp and Lakeport.

Lake Tunasninika later became a major tourist destination, and today it is known for its resort scene.
