When Dynaheir tell about here hometown (x#dyro.tra), she said that it is located on Lake of Tears:
@894 = ~There is not much to tell, <CHARNAME>. I was born in a settlement called Borovsk at the shores of the Lake of Tears. My father was a local warlord - a fyrra. As I told thee before, I was tested by the Hathran when I was five years of age and proved worthy of becoming one of them.~
Then she tells the story, how she returns there:
@932 = ~The wooden temple of the Three still studied its own reflection in the blue waters of the Impresk Lake; I counted its domes... they wert still twelve, built in the liking of the fabled temple of Kitej-grad, which they say once grew invisible and descended to the bottom of the Lake of Tears rather than be destroyed by the Thayvians.~
Impresk Lake is located very far from Thay or Rashement (not far from Tethyr). I would fix @932 to be:
@932 = ~The wooden temple of the Three still studied its own reflection in the blue waters of the Lake of Tears; I counted its domes... they wert still twelve, built in the liking of the fabled temple of Kitej-grad, which they say once grew invisible and descended to the bottom of the Lake of Tears rather than be destroyed by the Thayvians.~

Is the Temple of the Three supposed to be at Lake of Tears?
In my opinion she is talking about two different temples at two different lakes. I don't think they are meant to be at the same lake.

Sorry, I should have shown the whole dialog. However, I believe she is talking about the same place (her hometown). Here is the whole dialog (one possible branch):

D: @894 = ~There is not much to tell, <CHARNAME>. I was born in a settlement called Borovsk at the shores of the Lake of Tears. My father was a local warlord - a fyrra. As I told thee before, I was tested by the Hathran when I was five years of age and proved worthy of becoming one of them.~
PS: @896  = ~Have you ever returned to Borovsk?~ (DYRO13.14)
D: @929  = ~I did return. I was warned against it by the Hathran, yet I did.~
D: @930  = ~I walked the muddy streets, past the log houses and the self-important roosters on the barn tops, hunting for mine childhood memories. At times, I recognized carved horse-head ornaments, white windowsills or a bunch of stubborn flowers struggling in the dust by the well.~
D: @931  = ~Lilacs wert in bloom, leaning heavily on the fences, both purple and white.~
D: @932  = ~The wooden temple of the Three still studied its own reflection in the blue waters of the Impresk Lake; I counted its domes... they wert still twelve, built in the liking of the fabled temple of Kitej-grad, which they say once grew invisible and descended to the bottom of the Lake of Tears rather than be destroyed by the Thayvians.~
D: @933  = ~'Twas all as I remembered it, yet 'twas different.~
PC: @934  = ~Lilacs and wooden fences? You should have sought out your family!~ (DYRO13.26)
D: @972  = ~I had the memory of the city, yet it had no memory of me. My father passed by, a strong and likely lad at his heels, and bowed respectfully to my Hathran's gown.~

Did I understand this dialog wrong?

Ah, I see. The second mentioned temple seems to have been lost to time.
