Lake Harmakhis

Lake Harmakhis is the second-oldest administrative zone in the Commonwealth of Aresas. Named after a heathen Sun God in whose honour many of its structures were built, it is centered around the eponymous man-made lake north of Marty Mountain. It is the most advanced desert settlement in Pisa Manama. It connects to Pieter Kingdom through the Geldof Waterway.

The Crowned Pyramid
If not the lake itself, which had to be dug out and irrigated by man, the greatest undertaking in Lake Harmakhis was certainly the The Crowned Pyramid. 34 meters wide and 17 meters tall, it is one of the most massive buildings in all of Pisa Manama. It is rumoured to have been built with the help of alien lifeforms, whose ship (the "Crown") is said to hover above the structure at a height not visible from the ground, pouring a continuous stream of water down to earth. Others claim the water is a gift from the god Harmakhis. Whatever the truth may be, the fact is the pyramid is on the receiving end of a seemingly endless supply of water from the heavens, which has made the very development of Lake Harmakhis possible in the first place. Unsurprisingly, these days the pyramid is more of a holy place than a functional one.

Other developments
Gifted with water, developers from Marty Mountain quickly decorated the newly-formed lake with various sand-based monuments dedicated to its benefactor - even before connecting the area to their capital by road or rail. These include a water tower and various lesser pyramids, all of which produce streams of water, emulating the Crowned Pyramid. The only exception is the Octoped, which was originally planned as a train station with an underwater tunnel connecting it to dry land, but for now remains unused.
