| The '''Mountain of Light''' is many things: a living mountain far to the south of the Presbyterate, a [[Gods of the Unterzee|zee-god]] called Stone, the source of the Wax Wind, the daughter of [[The Echo Bazaar|the Bazaar]] and [[Judgements|the Sun]], the mother of [[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 Thief-of-Faces - the original [[Snuffers|Snuffer]] - wounded the Mountain of Light long ago and made her child, Mt. Nomad. The blood from this wound forms the Nameless River, whose estuary into the Unterzee is called Adam's Way.

| The Mountain is likely named after the diamond known as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor 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.
