This still might only be 10 miles across, I guess. It's almost certainly not one of the three large islands, though it is well enough known that a very amateur bard knows of it.[sblock=obligatory Warbrayvian aside]We might have sailed Lake KithsulChasing pirates for our pleasure,Or voyaged to far off Varras’zul,To claim its hidden treasure.Past Ravensdale we’d have dropped our sailsTo hear the wond’ring joyOf splashing folk with silver tailsWho raised me as a boy.Yet these lands would not suffice:If it was in our powerWe’d have seen at last the shining iceThat guards the Water Tower.But they took my ship away from meAnd left my longing for the sea.[/sblock]</blockquote>
