History and Locations

Lake Lachrymose is a very large lake, affected as it is by Hurricane Herman. One of the notable points of the lake is the leeches that inhabit its waters. If anyone goes into Lake Lachrymose within an hour after eating, the Lachrymose Leeches will smell the food and devour them. There are various features around the lake, including Curdled Cave (which is for sale), a cliff which formerly held the eccentric Josephine Anwhistle's house, beaches, and the Town of Lake Lachrymose. The resort town is bustling during good weather, but in the bad weather, things are dead. The Anxious Clown restaurant is of particular note, which supposedly a very odd waiter saying, "I didn't realize this was a sad occasion." The food is horrible. Some meals include the Extra Fun Family Appetizer (a bunch of things served up together and fried with a sauce), the Surprising Chicken Salad, and Cheer-up Cheeseburgers. Another important place is Damocles Dock, where the Fickle Ferry docks. Captain Sham's Sailboat Rentals is located here. Other places are the Lavender Lighthouse, marking Curdled Cave's location, a clothing store called Look! It Fits!, the Rancorous Rocks, and the Wicked Whirlpool. It is known that Captain Widdershins patrolled Lake Lachrymose in his submarine, the Queequeg. Notably, the word "lachrymose" means "tearful", "piteous", or "mournful". It stems from the Latin word "Lacrimosa".
