"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
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; her father is the Thief-of-Faces, the first Snuffer. It is rumored that the Fathomking is her uncle (on her father's side), as he unleashes Salt's Curse on those who bring her heart as a trophy.
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
"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."
It is stated above that Mt. Nomad was created by the Thief-of-Faces as a weapon to "serve its hatred". If you can't already tell by the rampaging glass mountain, the Thief hates a lot of things. It is also implied that Mt. Nomad's "birth" was...non-consensual, as the Mountain of Light cast the Thief and his Snuffers out of the Garden for his actions. In return, the Thief gave the Mountain a wound that would never heal.
