kami and neutral can't have lake city teleport pact.
for event or just to visit or get at some place that is not a city.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean, but as neutral I have a lot of pacts in lakes. And New horizons in cities.
On the other hand, as kami or marauder, you can't expect that everything will be easy in karavan region.

Every ecosystem has its own specifics, swimming in lakes is slow but there is a plenty of water you are safe in. Deal with it. Or maybe you would prefer to live in desert?
