"Sun! A great beam of sunlight bathes the island! Squint into the dazzle: far above, there's a hole in the roof. In that light you see beaches of white-gold sand; trees heavy with bright fruit; the reds and blues and greens of the Surface."
An island in the Unterzee, above which lies a hole in the roof of the Neath. Surface sunlight streams through. Beautiful, but deadly to denizens of the Neath, who die on contact with sunlight unless they haven't temporarily died in the Neath even once, or spent a significant amount of time in the Neath. Despite this, Zailors may examine the remains of settlement attempts.
Accomplished zailors who have managed to obtain a mysterious item called Dawn's Law at the Grand Geode, or another (more expensive) item called a Parabox at the Geode or in the Mirror-Marches, can use either object to protect themselves and their crew from the sunlight and found a colony there.
