Martin took a step back as more and more people seemed to gather around the table. It seemed a bit odd for so many people to gather together, but then again they probably didn't know or like many other people. He shrugged and liked over at Boogey, who seemed to be analysing everyone and everything at the moment. Maybe that's how he coped. Martin decided to chat a little bit more with everyone for a little bit longer. "So, how's work been for everyone? I've heard that a lot of Fables are struggling to make ends meet these days, and the prices of glamour a are still rising. I hope that nobody here is struggling, because if they are, it's either the Farm, or Georgie Porgie." He had a bit of a grimace at the name of Georgie, he hated that guy a lot.

Pelmar's Lake

Location
Ah yes, Pelmar's Lake. Let us begin with how it is today. It is a relatively large lake, full of the wreckage of the old ship Pelmar, for which the lake gets its name, as well as many other ships that fought on the lake for Emperor Haldisfar's amusement. The Emperor once ruled most of this land, until the day of his death, right on the very lake itself. The reason he died, well, that is because of the ship Pelmar, who sunk the Emperors own ship, The Valiant, in a contest. Costing both ships their crew. 

You see, the Emperor had a fascination with ships, building them, sailing them, and destroying them. He made the lake with funds that he acquired in his war against leprechauns which lasted many years, till his armies were victorious. After the battle, he had his best engineers design and build the lake, with water coming in from the Descaren Sea which used to be bigger at the time. After it was filled up, they were still in need of a name, so, the Emperor decided to hold a contest. Anyone who wished to name the lake, may enter into the contest with their own ship and crew, the winner would be whichever ship was last floating on the lake. Over a hundred ships were entered, with the total number of crew from all ships being in the thousands, most of which belonged to the Emperor's own ships. Which leads us to the Pelmar.

The Pelmar was a small ship, no bigger than two longboats tied end to end, and as about as wide as two lashed side by side. It was built, and crewed, by twelve men, Thomas Dunn, William Jones, Henry Hopk, Barry Tills, Hu Man, Wo Man, Gerry Gells, Lokar Betl, James Jameson, Bill Billson, Harry Hatg and Killar Narm. These men and women were completely unknown to anyone, and despite there being twelve names on the roster, on six were ever seen at one time. It was an entire year after the contest was announced that it finally took place, with the Emperor man in his own ship, and the Pelmar being manned by six people. After the contest started, the crew of the Pelmar suddenly doubled, and became much shorter. It turned out to be a trick! The crew of the Pepmar were none other, than King Kallar, Leader of the leprechauns and his most trusted bodyguards.

Towards the end of their war, they escaped to take revenge later. Now was their time. As soon as they revealed themselves, they used their magic to set the Emperor's ship alight, as well as their own, and rammed each other, until on the final ram, both ships cracked in half and sunk to the bottom. With the Emperor dead, and no one willing to admit that a leprechaun had done it, The Great Civil War broke out. But, everyone decided that the lake should be named after the Pelmar, and so, Pelmar's Lake was born. 

And thus, a new era was born, as well as a lake.
