The '''largest lake''' in Kalderesh is Lake Pai, a 50 km long body of fresh water in the west, fed by rivers from Krethes. The lake in turn feeds the [[Pai Wetlands]], the largest fresh-water marsh in Kalderesh, itself dotted with smaller lakes.

	The Pai Wetlands is tucked into the western tip of Krethes, almost entirely within the Province of Salaah. Spanning 105 km and covering 435,000 hectares, the Pai Wetlands is famous for its natural beauty and abundant, vibrant wildlife. Deer and wild hogs leave criss-cross trackways amongst the sweet-smelling cypress and mumis bushes. Osprey and cranes dot the sky, while dragonflies and butterflies patrol the thousands of clear ponds, shallows, and wild flowers that inundate the landscape.

	There are 14 large, permanent lakes in the wetlands, and a varying number of temporary lakes. The largest is Lake Penira in the far north, near [[Beachmarsh]]. The village of [[Dracmarsh]] is on Lake Penush. The trails through the wetlands are wooden boardwalks and are in places much narrower than trails elsewhere. These trackways need to be maintained frequently, and some portions may be treacherous. Travelling with a local guide is highly recommended.

	Brightly-coloured Emerald Lake, whose waters are said to have restorative powers, has an outflow – the Green River – that meanders through the wetlands towards [[Savimasko]], but never completes its journey.

 Federic’s Land is a large island complex, covering an area of 100 x 90 km, off the south-eastern coast of Kalderesh. It lies about 20 km from the mainland, separated from it by the Strait of Tellinon, an area rich in sealife.

	Because of the abundance of moisture and a nearly year-round period of growth, forests are extensive and lush. Broadleaf evergreens prevail with occasional understories of other growth thickets. Dense forests of hardwoods, including cypress and red gum, thrive in the poorly drained river bottoms. More open hardwood stands occupy the better-drained low-land sites. Hickory, chestnut, oak and poplar form the cover in the rougher uplands. Towards the drier margins the forests are gradually replaced by grasses, with trees restricted to the river banks.
