I searched from scans if there was being some translation for わかたれた湖 that could explain why it's "mysterious" and nothing
because わかたれた doesn't mean "mysterious"

It comes from 分かつ, so "a lake divided".

or 別つ (it doesn't change the meaning tho)

edit: maybe "A Lake Apart" (if it can have the sense of a lake divided into several parts)

The latter is more uncommon and not what I'd choose here, but to be fair the game uses both for verbs such as 別れる and 分ける where you'd actually expect it, though not for わかつ.

Quote:
フュエンテは北部と南部に別れているんだよ。

亡くなられた女王さまが土地を分けたんだそうだ。
Whenever the Japanese resort to kana in cases like this, I like to think they don't even know the kanji nuances themselves.

The PSP translation also uses "A Lake Divided" it seems. Don't know the plot that goes with it beyond the above quote but that's as close as it gets.
