The Mountain of Light is many things: a living mountain far to the south of the Presbyterate, a zee-god called Stone, the source of the Wax Wind, the daughter of the Bazaar and the Sun, the Thief-of-Faces used her to create Mt. Nomad. People from around the Elder Continent regularly make pilgrimages to her, and sometimes they clip relics (called Mountain-Sherds) from her slopes.
The Mountain is also wounded, likely by the Thief-of-Faces; her blood forms the Nameless River, whose estuary into the Unterzee is called Adam's Way. She is likely named after the diamond known as the Koh-i-Noor (Mountain of Light in Persian). This diamond was once the largest in the world, and passed through the hands of the Kakatiya dynasty in India, the Persian Empire, and the British Empire. It is now a part of Queen Elizabeth II's crown.
