Lake Sora is a shallow, mineral-rich lake located in the central Sanctuary Vale, serving as the terminus of the Sora River. The lake forms the lowest point in the Sora Basin, where seasonal runoff and eastward flow from the Murazkar Range gather in a wide, rocky depression. While not deep or expansive, Lake Sora is one of the few consistent water sources in the Vale and plays a critical role in both wildlife movement and human settlement.
Geologically, the lakebed is composed of layered stone, silt, and mineral sediment, creating a reflective surface during calm periods. The shores are uneven, marked by smooth rock shelves and intermittent inlets. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, with temporary shallows appearing during drier cycles.
Two settlements are situated nearby: the farming town of Alun-Tar to the northwest, and the city of Sora-Tar along its northern edge.
