Vikens Vickers is the woman in charge, a master weaver herself - she is in the brains behind the business. She's not very pleasant and prefers to run over those around her, rather than trying to be diplomatic. Married to a very pleasant man, she's also the mother of three young girls.

− | '''"Lakeside"''' - the name of the fishing village at the eastern end of the lake, located near "The Crossing" a very old stone bridge that's the remnant of a prior civilization. Between 50-60 people live in Lakeside with a number more living outside of the village's outskirts. "Rough" is the de-facto leader/mayor of Lakeside, he's lived here all his life and is in charge of the fishing side of things. The fishermen of Lakeside fish primarily for large Lake Trout which are smoked and sold to the outside world, this continues during the winter when they ice fish with huts they've pulled out onto the lake.
