There was, in 1.0, mystery about 'what's under Silvertear Lake' with no real evidence beyond 'something is there' (which I do think you know, I'm just clarifying that's exactly where it came from). It was one of the many, many plot hooks that were just quietly dropped in the time since, and has never received spotlight again. Hell, it's even unique among those in that it hasn't even been brought up as an extant concept or presence in the world in ARR onward; it's the one that got COMPLETELY dropped.

I'm always wondering why that of all things is the one 1.0 thing that a bunch of lorehounds keep hanging onto and bringing up. Why is everyone so hung up on the lake of all things? Why aren't we beating the Gelmorra drum, or constantly speculating about the Woodsin?
