Lake Yantar

Previously home to a scenic lake which has since dried up, Yantar is one of the territories to have been hit the hardest by the Zone's spawning. The thick, foggy swamps surround a central factory compound are rumored to house a secret laboratory of some sort. Although the psy-emitter in the area has been long disabled, zombie populations in the area are the highest in the Zone along with extremely high concentrations of mutants such as snorks and bloodsuckers. Despite this, Yantar remains a central research site for the various ecologists and scientists found in the Zone. Although Dutiers and mercenaries make occassional visits to this region, stalkers here are a rarity due to the still hovering fear of the dangers associated with this place.
