'''Devotion's Perpendicularity''', also called '''The Lake''' or '''The Pool''', is a [[Perpendicularity]] that appears as a round, ten foot deep body of crystalline, sapphire, fluid found on a mountain near [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] and [[Kae]]{{book ref|Elantris|60}} on [[Sel]].{{book ref|Elantris|25}} It appears to have no natural inlets or outlets, and is not filled with water but a thicker cool liquid.{{book ref|Elantris|61}} It is not absolutely confirmed to be of Devotion, but the feelings the pool generates and the close connection with Elantris heavily imply it.
