The Lake of the Dead, also called the Abyss in the Soul Reaver era, is a fictional location in the Legacy of Kain series.
History
The Lake of the Dead first appeared in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Kain can traverse the Lake using his Mist form, and can use a teleporter in the centre of a stone circle upon an isle in the Lake's northwestern edge to reach the Lost City. The Lake is bordered by cliffs on all sides. Its depiction in this game is vastly inferior and less spectacular to that of the next. This Lake of the Dead lacks the swirling whirlpool and overhead stone spans, and much of the architectural layout is different.
When Raziel was punished for his evolutionary transgression in Soul Reaver, he was thrown, by his brethren Turel and Dumah, into this large lake from a cliff on high. Located just beyond the Pillars of Nosgoth, it is frequently used as a death sentence for those found guilty of many crimes. Since water is extremely lethal to most vampires, those thrown in showed little chance of survival. The center of the lake formed a gigantic whirpool that expedited the journey of unfortunate victims to the bottom of the lake.
Raziel finds the Lake of the Dead again shortly after his return from the brink of oblivion. It is even possible for Raziel to once again fall into the Abyss, at which point he will be returned to the Elder God's chamber.
The Lake of the Dead appears on the official Blood Omen 1 map of Nosgoth, just south of Malek's Bastion and northwest of Vorador's home.
From the lake, Raziel's clan territory, which lies to the west, can be accessed, as can Dumah's territory, (after Raziel has defeated Rahab and gained the ability to swim).
The smokestack (located in Turel's clan territory, which was removed from the game before release) can be seen from the skies above the lake in Soul Reaver 1's opening FMV sequence. Kain's Mountain Retreat and the Pinnacle of the Silenced Cathedral, two other areas removed before release, are also visible in this sequence.
It can be assumed that the Elder God's chamber lies far below the swirling whirlpool created by the Lake, due to the small blue spiral located in the center of the Elder God's lair, and the fact that Raziel "fell" through the abyss into its confines.

Henry C.K. Liu (å»–å?å…‰) is an independent commentator on culture, economics and politics. He was born in Hong Kong and educated at Harvard University in architecture and urban design. Liu developed an interest in economics and international relations while working as a professor at UCLA, Harvard and Columbia University on interdisciplinary work on urban and regional development. Liu is currently the chairperson of a New York-based private investment group and a contributor to Asia Times Online. He is a Visiting Professor of Global Development in the Department of Economics in the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
The term "dollar hegemony" was coined by Liu in an extensively quoted April 2002 article: in Asia Times Online to describe how he sees the dollar, a fiat currency since 1971 that yet continues to play the role of the major reserve currency distorts global trade and finance. Liu is a critic of the United States and the policies of its government and also a critic of central banking. Liu calls for the use of sovereign credit in lieu of foreign capital for financing domestic development in developing countries. In a series of articles titled The Abduction of Modernity, Liu has developed his idea that modernity is not synonymous with Westernization. Liu's critics contend that he turns a blind eye to the failings of China compared to his critique of the United States. Others observe that Liu's criticism is focused on US policies that are disconnected to values and ideology set out by the Constitution, and not on US values as such. Liu has also been vocal in his critique of Chinese economic policy, particular on China's excessive dependence of export, developmental imbalances that result in severe income disparity and environmental neglect. Liu is openly unsympathetic to Western liberal criticism of China that he considers as cultural imperialism in disguise.
In February 2006, in a series of articles in Asia Times On Line, Liu proposes the establishement of an international cartel for labor to be known as Organization of Labor-Intensive Exporting Countries [http://www.atimes.com/atimes/others/olec.html (OLEC)] to restore balance of market power between capital and labor in the globalized economy.
Henry Liu's father is Liu Yan Tak (廖�德), an accomplished physician in Hong Kong and also a relative and close friend of Liao Chengzhi (廖承志), one of the Chinese Communist Party revolutionary leaders.
