Lake Salmon

Lake Llew was a land-locked body of water in an unknown region of Prydain.

According to the three enchantresses, the lake was once inhabited by a salmon that might have been enchanted, because it was wise enough to answer supplicants' questions. Orwen said of it: "I've never met a wiser fish." However, Orgoch explained that the salmon was "long gone".
