"They say that not all the bones are from bulls, and the trees dance in the pale glim-light."

Bullbone Island is a mysterious island in the Southern Archipelago.

It's mainly populated by animals, including a particularly large population of weasels. Mandrakes as big as trees also run wild here, and their singing can be quite hypnotic. The weasels try to hunt the beetles that live on the island, which glow like fireflies.

It is hinted that Bullbone may have been part of the First City. The island has only one human resident, a recent exile from London, who chose to leave after discovering a court secret.

Most of the island's visitors are sponsored by the Dilmun Club's scientific expeditions.
