Lake Urr See is the deepest natural lake in the Western Realms with a maximum depth of over 500 meters (1640 ft).

Lake Urr See is feed by 50 tributaries along with a large underground spring.

The Zun River is the lake's only outlet. The river flows southeast until it empties into the Caragan Sea. Only about a fifth of the water that leaves the lake does so through the Zun River; the rest evaporates.

A large fault runs under the lake. The lake used to be the headwaters of the Zun River, but when the fault last slipped it changed the course of the Zun River, forming Lake Stolps in the process. The branch of the Zun River emptying from Lake Urr See is shallow, slow, and silty - only running clear in the spring.

The largest town on the lake. Laketonne is located along the northeastern shore at its widest point. Many of the ships that dock at the town cannot make the trip south to the Zun River, their draft is too deep. Instead they fish and take supplies to the various villages and Rolfend. A large ridge of rock was pushed up during an earthquake exposing a large seam of iron along with several types of semi-precious stones.

A large town built upon the southwestern shore of the lake, Rolfend controls the outlet to the Zun River. The town yearly dredges the riverbed to keep a clear channel for boats to travel along.
