**April** of the Calendar Council is a weapons engineer and revolutionary leader.

## Reports Of Her Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Known to the public as munitions expert Emilia Hathersage, she has been presumed dead since an explosion at the factory of her company, Cotterell & Hathersage. She survived, of course, but has lost her hearing and now prefers to communicate through writing. She is an skilled engineer and Red Scientist, and has fearlessly devoted herself to opposing the Masters.

## Personal Life

April has a close relationship with Sinning Jenny, with whom she shares a goal of slaying the Vake. She is also a friend of Furnace Ancona and knows August well.

*Errata: April's name has been spelled as both Emilia and Emelia.*

The **Eversmoulder** is a burning water wheel in the Hinterlands, accessible from Jericho Locks. It was once used by Hell to power an outpost that watched over the canals, but during the Campaign of '68 it was captured by London. After the war, Hell abandoned the area, and invoked an infernal law to leave the wheel eternally burning, even as water runs through it.

Mysteriously, graffiti and writings can be found here that hint at the workings of the Great Game.

**Mt. Nomad**is a Zee-beast who lurks near Avid Horizon.

## Her Mother's Wounds

One of the Unterzee's most ferocious zee-beasts, Mt Nomad is a gigantic, purple mountain floating in the most northerly reaches of the zee, near the mysterious Avid Horizon. Her mother is the zee-god Stone, and her father is the Thief-of-Faces, the first Snuffer.

Mt Nomad may also be connected to the Lifebergs that drift near her in the Void's Approach. It is unknown what these creatures are or what connection they have to the far more fearsome Nomad, but they share some connection to the Void beyond. Perhaps they all share a father, or perhaps she is their mother, but of course we cannot ask either party for the truth.

## A Living Weapon

> *"The Mountain cast us all out of the Garden, when it found that our progenitor had taken jewels from its wombs, to make a weapon to serve its hatred. I will tell you of the weapon it made."*

Long ago, the Thief-of-Faces, the first Snuffer, stole jewels from Stone's wombs and used them to create Mt Nomad, a weapon to "serve its hatred." If you can't already tell from the rampaging glass mountain, the Thief hates *a lot* of things.

**False-snakes** are creatures with superficially serpentine bodies, but are otherwise very different from actual snakes. They are dark blue and lack scales, and apparently reside deep underground, with pointed jaws and facial tentacles used to burrow through dirt. They also seem to possess a second pair of jaws within their exterior mouths, and, like many other animals that live in extreme darkness, their eyes are also recognizably sightless.

The bodies of false-snakes have an adverse reaction to light, emitting vibrant pink toxins upon exposure. These toxins can melt even stone, and may be released when exposed to the light of the Neathbow as well. Whether this is some form of defense mechanism against predators, or perhaps against light itself, is unknown.

Apparently, false-snakes are a relative of frogs and other amphibians. Many supposedly ancient false-snakes were found west of London in the Hinterlands, their corpses preserved in a strange, icy marsh. Whether or not these creatures still roam the Neath today is unknown.

Siren-Serpents

A Siren-Serpent displaying its lure.

> *"A fanged mouth rears from the water, big enough to bite a boat in half or swallow a pig! The 'woman' contorts and slides into the water: she's the tip of the monster's tail. This will be untidy."*

**Siren-Serpents**, known scientifically as ***Serpentus sirenesis***, are serpentine creatures who menace the Unterzee. They possess sharp teeth, bullet-resistant skin, and maws large enough to swallow pigs whole. They are most infamous for their preferred means of hunting: they disguise their tails as humanoid apparitions and produce human-like calls to lure those nearby. For this reason, the Siren-Serpent is known vulgarly as **Neptune's Harlot**.

Siren-Serpents lay their eggs on rock formations, and newly-hatched serpents are called **Harlot-Fry**. Notably, even hatchling serpents possess extremely sharp teeth.

The Carnelian Exile

The Carnelian Exile

> *"I am always the same, do you see? I do not change. I proceed on the same path I always have. I am only one choice: and I will be content only when I have no choice at all."*
>
>

The **Carnelian Exile** is a mysterious nomad who speaks laconically and has an irksome habit of answering others' questions before they can finish asking. She was exiled from her home at Port Carnelian for joining the New Sequence, and she later severed all ties to the Dawn Machine as well. She still has the characteristic bright golden eyes of the Machine's followers, however, so she keeps them concealed with dark sunglasses.

The Exile is a strong believer in predestination and destiny: she believes neither she nor her path may change, and seeks a state of being where she has "no choice at all." To this end, she wants to one day travel to the Uttermost East. Unfortunately, though she has heard the way East through Salt's song, she cannot enter Frostfound to retrieve Salt's name and undergo the journey herself, and she worries her time may be running out.

October is a revolutionary leader, a member of the Calendar Council, and an extremely powerful oneiromancer. She gained the power to manipulate Parabola as her reward for winning the Marvelous, then used that power to imprison Mr Mirrors, making her one of a very small group of people to have defeated a Master of the Bazaar. Since then, she has remained in exile in Yesterday's Clerestory, a hidden keep in Parabola.

She commands the Peace of October, an army of dream-ravens that she uses as her spies and soldiers. October is a stalwart Liberationist and uses her ravens to darken Parabola during battle.

Things have changed since the Fall, and names have been replaced - but more strangely, as the years pass, Londoners have begun to notice that new maps contradict their predecessors (let alone the illegal ones from before the fall). Perhaps there are just no worthy cartographers in this city; but seasoned zailors and geography professors have reported similar observations all over the Neath. For someone standing just under the spires of the Bazaar, the directions to any other point of interest would be the same, but the route would be different each time. There are rumors about a map of London so precise that it can even track the smallest deviations of each road. But if something like this existed, it would be locked away from the public - the Masters don`t like it when people dig too deep...

Fuligin, in turn, is darker than black, and is derived from the English word "fuliginous" meaning soot-like; this color was used by Gene Wolfe in his science fiction novel *The Shadow of the Torturer.*

## Properties

Peligin is a dark, dark black, beyond the reach of any light. It is the hue of the waters of the Unterzee and those of the land of the dead, and also the color of the flesh of zee-monsters.

## Uses

The eyes of Monster-Hunters turn permanently peligin after they consume the flesh of a zee-monster. The Fathomking is known to be able to turn his prisoners' skin peligin.

## Not a Lot of Ships Left

After the Fall of London, the Admiralty was cut off from most of the Royal Navy, which remained on the Surface, and rendered practically powerless. While the Bazaar took the Traitor Empress under its protection and assumed authority over London, the Admiralty was only left in charge of maintaining London's port facilities and its few ships.

In the waning years of the 19th century, the Admiralty has become more of an intelligence service than a true navy. The **Dark-Spectacled Admiral** runs its remaining operations.

Unfortunately, the Dawn Machine broke free of its creators' control soon after completion, and used its power to subvert the New Sequence into serving as its minions. This resulted in the Admiralty losing almost all that was left of its naval forces and Royal Marines to the Dawn Machine's influence.

Rubberies deal a brisk trade in amber; they are also eager to take their amber back. Despite their apparent harmlessness, they still face xenophobia and its effects - devils refuse to take their souls, and occasionally one is stoned to death. Even so, at least one of them has risen high enough in society to be an at least semi-influential businessman; he's called the **Tentacled Entrepreneur**.

The lemon-scented slime that the Rubbery Men exude appears to have healing properties, favored by the wretched, forgotten, and desperate. Use of the substance as a restorative may result in mild side effects, like spasms, hair growth, and nightmares.

The Rubbery Men, though outcasts in society themselves, have also turned away one of their number: the Nacreous Outcast.

The Rubberies hail from the planet Axile, brought to the Neath by the Bazaar. This was a part of a failed deal between them and the Bazaar. Despite their failings, they uphold their end of the bargain, which was to never love.

The Rubbery Men were created by the Flukes to interact with human beings. Part of their interaction involves the circulation of amber, which absorbs Vital Essences that may be used to alter a being's place on the Great Chain. Such amber is used by the Rubbery Men in Flute Street to conduct various strange experiments, and the Starved Men use amber in their own rituals.

The **Overgoat** is an extremely powerful being with the appearance of a goat-demon, spoken of only in whispers across Fallen London.

## Attendants

The seven Attendants to Hallowmas are archetypal figures, each representing a specific sin. They accept confessions of sin from Londoners, both their own and those of others, possibly restricted to the sin they embody. Each has a specific persona and regalia, with at least the latter being old enough to predate the First City; it is unclear, however, whether the physical costume itself is that old or if it has been remade, as well as if the specific details of the persona have changed in that timespan.

At the start of Hallowmas, seven people are selected by the Masters and brought to the Bazaar, assigned to play the role and persona of an Attendant for that year. When the holiday ends, the seven return to the Bazaar and "unburden themselves of the city's guilt"; however, the exact means by which they do this is unspecified.

The Seven Attendants, along with their corresponding sin:

* False-Student (Whimsy): Described as having a mirror-eyed mask and feathered eyelashes  and giving lessons to those who confess enough sins to him
* Glasswhisper (Curiosity): Described as having a mirror-eyed feline mask with velvet fur, furred gloves and a grey cloak that glistens like oil
* the Scarlet Physic (SIN NOT SPECIFIED): Described as having a long red physician's mask and silver hooks for hands
* Hammerstrike (Violence): Described as having a cumbersome bear costume, rancid and poorly tanned
* Smiling Jester (Guile): Described as having a large rust-colored cloak and a fox mask with a lolling, fat, moist, pink tongue
* Knight of Numbers (Pride): Described as wearing wooden armor, with a bascinet helmet
* Fool's Apostate (Faith): NO DESCRIPTION SPECIFIED

The Sprightly Visionary

> *"You speak of the city on the back of a beast. It is difficult to find, for it roams of Unterzee - above and below. It scorched its belly on Mount Palmerston and snapped the top of Massey's Shaft. It blocked the harbor of Adam's Way and gave birth to the Grand Geode. Why, last you heard, it was making to London..."*
>
>

Drilled and tethered to the back of a giant arthropod lies **Hideaway**, a city of outcasts and fugitives from all walks of life. From the streets of London to the water paths of Khan's Heart, they find their furtive way here; given these people come from all over, it's only fair that the city is quite a cultural melting pot, always alive with festivals and rituals. Visitors, too, can take part in these festivals and, if one is willing and brave enough, one can hear these rejects' tales straight from their mouths.

Hideaway holds a dark secret that its higher-ups will kill to protect. The beast, despite its great size, is still growing. And, if arthropods down below behave like they do on the Surface, this means that the beast upon which the city is built is going to molt...
Apocyan

> *"A wakes APOCYAN, the blue of memory and brightest coral."*
>
>

    A color of the Neathbow, **apocyan** is the color of coral, of memory, and of the Zee's waves. The name "apocyan" presumably derives from the color cyan, which has a similar hue, and the Greek prefix *apo-*, meaning something between "off, away" and "descended from" - like the words "apostate" (gone-away-from-a-cause) or "apocalypse" (un-covering).

## Properties

Apocyanic light is difficult to contain, even in a mirrorcatch box; it seems to *want* to release its memory into the world.

## Uses

Chess pieces of this color are sourced from the Principles of Coral, and Crooked-Crosses often lacquer their crosses in this color. Blue Scintillack is extremely valuable and blazes with apocyanic radiance. And an apocyanic piece of amber may be what brings down the Bazaar...

Apocyan can also be used to create "daguerrotypes" of dreams and certain memories, often by blinking in these dreams to produce flashes of apocyanic light.

## The Brass Embassy

A Sanctum in the Embassy. Art from FL and Sunless Sea.

### Notable Figures

Devils

> **"With so much business in Fallen London, you can't expect the inhabitants of Hell to go home at the end of every day, can you? The Brass Embassy is a cozy hell away from hell which, they say, holds the best masked balls in the city."**
>
>

**The Brass Embassy** is the base of operations for devils in Fallen London.

## Luxury Beyond Sinful

After the Fall of London, the devils were given free reign to conduct business in London as part of a deal of sorts with the Bazaar and they now freely roam the city, much to the dismay of the Church.

When Fallen London's devils leave Hell for various reasons, they stay at this hotel and apartment complex in Ladybones Road. While in the Embassy, the devils often indulge themselves - for example, they eat at many of London's devil-friendly restaurants and attend extravagant parties on a ballroom floor of molten brass. Don't worry about their feet. They can handle it - after all, they are from Hell.

## Demonic Business

The area around the Brass Embassy is home to places like **Abbadon and Bael**, "Hell's most successful trading company"; **Dante's Grill**, a relatively exclusive but popular restaurant which is known for its devilled kidneys and "torment-broiled" chops; and other devilish restaurants and taverns like **the Long Spoon**. It's also the center of the thriving soul trade.

The Embassy is the center of infernal intelligence in Fallen London, and this is the place to be when reporting crucial information to various demonic factions.

Ordinary people can obtain guest rooms at the Brass Embassy, though they're exorbitantly expensive. It's even more expensive to upgrade that room to a fiery Sanctum.

The **Chapel of Lights** is an island church community, located just south of Avid Horizon.

## Music for the Entrails

The people of this island worship the **Drowned Man**, whose name is but whispered. The island is practically covered in candles; there is also a very large well.

The congregation is led by **the Smiling Priest,** who invites all to to feast on the riches of the Zee. While the Priest is jovial and hospitable, his followers lurk in the shadows, only revealing themselves to the truly foolish who have already proven their worth. We shall not speak of what happens beyond this.

> *"This is the salt-blown heart of the Hold. The Fathomking floats in his throne: a gem-starred bowl of sea-stone, the size of a banqueting table. He's wearing a dressing gown of purple brocade, soaked dark with salt water. He leans his chin calmly on his hand. Beneath the surface of the water in his throne, his hidden regions pulse, constantly, insistently."*
>
>

**The Fathomking**is the mysterious and notoriously unpredictable ruler of the Drownies.

## The Zee's Wild Card

The Fathomking himself is quite the character; his favored term of address is "**Your Complexity**". Above all, he values a good story, and of course zailors have plenty of stories to tell. As such, receiving an audience with His Complexity during the "hour of audience" is quite easy. During this hour, the King pays handsomely for information and stories. People from Visage wearing crocodile masks sometimes arrive to make offerings to him, and occasionally he gets a visitor from The Khanate. He seems to be rather fond of punishing his courtiers for transgressions, such as buying silk from spiders, and he really doesn't like it when the Chelonites get too entitled. Most visitors are witness to executions of unfortunate transgressors at the throne-cyst.

The Fathomking is capable of reviving the deceased, albeit for a very steep price. He may have something special for The Nacreous Outcast in particular...

It's also possible to bring the Fathomking a spore from the Uttershroom. He will proceed to drop it to his nether regions. Well, who knows what he does with *that*. The Fathomking in general seems to like "gifts from the Myceligaean Mother" (read: blemmigans).

The Fathomking's wife is a Lornest-Fluke, and it's implied that this union is what made him into the intriguing creature he is; prior to this he was merely a human, depressingly low on the chain. As a side effect, Stone is his sister-in-law, so it probably wouldn't be such a good idea to bring him something like the heart of Mt. Nomad.

## The Fathomking's Hold

> *"Like an iceberg, like a Bazaar-Master's scheme, like the Neath itself, most of the Hold is invisible."*
>
>

**The Fathomking's Hold** is an enormous coral structure that lies within the Promised Sea. Like an iceberg, most of the Hold is hidden, and it is lit with Phospher-cells. It's possible that the Hold may be the Fathomking *himself*, with all that that implies.

The **Iron Republic** is a chaotic colony of Hell.

## Who Needs Gravity?

The devils decided to experiment a bit, leaving the Republic permanently free of tyrants... and laws. *All* laws and tyrants. Including those humans previously thought were impossible to repeal, such as gravity. Visitors often stay until numbers stop working, or they will at least be subjected to constantly shifting norms. The laws change every day, with no rhyme or reason (except possibly protesters advocating a change to something more convenient, which is known to work on occasion). Due to the obvious lawlessness, the Republic is often considered a haven for anarchists and freedom fighters alike. As for the residents, they're often sent to work in the factories, where accidents are frequent and often result in liquefaction.

## Today in the Iron Republic...

*The following writing is not canon. Reload to possibly view another day!*

...it is truly a new era for us all! A star rises from below the ground, melting and burning, and you just found out that *water* can *melt*. It doesn't make a ton of sense; anyway, fiery, melted water now covers every centimetre of the Republic's territory. Good thing that your boots shrank this morning; otherwise you would have suffered the same fate as those who decided to go out with their soles covered today. *They* evaporated instantly, and are now gradually precipitating as very sad and green snowflakes. You are absolutely sure they will be fine though; as people say: "There's nothing that coffee from the House of Milks can't fix." Oh, they don't *say* that; that's actually a Market of Hungers promotion screaming inside your head. Anyway, the dragon is right there and ready, so you can have a drink at your leisure.

The Fall of London

**UNDER CONSTRUCTION**

*"Forty years ago, London was stolen by bats."*

Forty years ago - give or take - London found itself in a terrible predicament. The Prince Consort of Britain was gravely ill, and his Queen was terribly distraught. So great was her love for her husband that she sought the assistance of a higher power - though what came to her aid was perhaps not what she had in mind.

So it was that on February 14, 1862, the Masters of the Bazaar came to London. The Queen - who we now know as the Empress, of course - sold the city to the cadre of cloaked figures, and London was carried downward into an enormous cavern called the Neath. They say that when a city is sold, there is a price which is known, and a price which is not; the known price the Masters paid for the city was the restoration of the Consort's life, and the rest remains to be seen. Despite this, the Consort is not exactly in the best of spirits...

## What Happened Afterward

The Cumaean Canal may have been built shortly after the Fall.

The Captivating Princess, the last of the Empress's children, was born in 1862.

Some of the Empress's children remained in the Neath, residing with their parents in the Shuttered Palace, while others remained on the Surface. The Brooding Captain brought his ship, the *Galatea,* to the Neath in 1867.

In 1868, London attempted, and failed miserably, to invade Hell.

It is not known precisely when London colonized Port Carnelian, but this may have occurred shortly before the invasion.

Sometime before ~1890, the Empress's children took a bad batch of red honey and were turned into monsters.

The first election for Mayor of London occurred in 1894. Mayoral elections were ceased in 1899, after the disappearance of the Viscountess of the Viric Jungle.

At the end of 1899, the Empress decreed a second year of 1899 rather than the dawning of a new century. It remains to be seen how long this will continue.
