The leathery carcasses of hollowed-out beasts line the ventricles of this stone heart. Ancient blubber bubbles up around paths of bone and hide that squelch with every step. A distant drip carves eternity into hours.
Located under the Chelonate and away from the stink, the Gant Pole is where zee monsters go to die.[1]
Its mazes are only inhabited by elderly zailors, barely able to fight, and one haruspex, who tells the future in the entrails of zee monsters and might be as old as the First City. One who inquires into her past will learn that she was exiled from Whither after answering a question. She is searching for an unavoidable question, a question that not even the Whithern can avoid answering.[2]
A zub known as The Irrepressible patrols near the Gant Pole. Renowned as the most feared vessel in the Unterzee, it fires irrigo ammunition, and it resembles a beast more so than any sort of ship.[3] Its captain is the Pianolist, an exceptionally dangerous individual with a penchant for Vivaldi. He is the leader of the Set, a group of mad artists who roam the zee. The Pianolist seems to relish poetic irony, especially when betrayal is involved.[4]
