Lake Valier
This map is a homage to one of my early maps, Valier Province, a map centered around a large lake with several streams.
The map is fictional but uses heightmaps from a lake in Sweden called Sommen. Its area is 132 km² and its greatest depth is 60m. The lake is located in southern Sweden, and is bounded by the provinces of Östergötland and Småland.
It’s a clear-water lake, with a visibility of 9–11 m in the eastern parts. This makes Sommen one of the greatest clear-water lakes in Sweden.
According to tradition Sommen has 365 islands, one for each day of the year but the actual number is around 350.
Legend has it that the lake was created by an ancient cow “Sommakoa”. The wizard who owned her tried to chain her to a fence to calm her fits of anger. Sommakoa broke lose from her chain, stomped her hoof very hard into the ground and then ran off. The footprint filled with water creating the lake.
