Indeed, there is a lake near the border with the Kingdom of Franz. The river flowing out of the lake must have been flowing toward the north.
To the south of the lake, there was a high mountain that divided the three kingdoms of Shoro, Franz, and Cerroa.

For ordinary metals, there is something called a crystal lattice.
The crystal structure is a regular arrangement of atoms according to the type of metal element.
