"Their glassy blackness recalls Mt Nomad, the predatory terrain feature which haunts the blackness of Void's Approach. What is their connection?"
Mt. Nomad is a Zee-beast who lurks near Avid Horizon.
Her Mother's Wounds[edit]
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, making her the granddaughter of the Echo Bazaar;[1] 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[edit]
"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."
"And you see the black glass shadow on the green glass of the zee. You hear its groaning hunger, and the death of the ships it breaks. You see its father the Thief-of-Faces, coming and going, dwelling in it for a time like a maggot in a peach."
Long ago, the Thief-of-Faces, the first Snuffer, stole jewels from Stone's wombs[2] and used them to create Mt Nomad, a weapon to "serve its hatred." In case you can't already tell from the rampaging glass mountain, the Thief hates a lot of things.
Mt Nomad "opened the mirrors" to Parabola.[3]
