Moose Lake

The central lake in the area known as the "Land of 1,001 Lakes," Moose Lake is one of the most distinct spots in this territory, so named because its shape vaguely resembles the silhouette of a moose's head and antlers. Unlike the other lakes in this region, Moose Lake is filled not with water but with a thick oily sludge, slippery enough to make seaplane landings and boat navigation hazardous. For this reason, Moose Lake became the perfect hiding place for the legendary Idol of Kafusalum, an ancient artifact stolen centuries ago and hidden in the Land of 1,001 Lakes.

No one had any clues to where the idol was hidden, aside from the cryptic phrase, "Right under your nose," which supposedly referred to the idol's location. The true meaning of this phrase becomes clear when Moose Lake is viewed upside-down, revealing the shape of a nose and mustache!

The "nostril" of Moose Lake (or the moose's "eye," as viewed) is actually a small island containing a foreboding lagoon known as the Fire Swamp. The swamp pool collects a strange bubbling liquid which bursts into flame through some unknown chemical reaction. The trees and land surrounding the lagoon are rigged with a network of boobytraps, designed to keep trespassers from escaping with the lost idol.
