"A spit of black rock and stunted heath. Touched by all the previous cities, so they say."

Corpsecage Island is a tiny islet that is said to have been part of all the Fallen Cities to date, except for London. The island is populated by bats that carry secrets regarding the Great Game, though of course these secrets are quite expired. There were once people here, but for some reason they moved Southeast, perhaps to the Elder Continent or beyond.

The Constables exile rather vile prisoners here, a tradition of law enforcement in the Neath since the Second City. As such, it is full of relics from cities past; one of these is a discarded diary that might have belonged to a certain political visionary, who desired that "workers of all lands unite." There is one other, isolated prisoner on the island: the deviless Virginia's former lover, a Grand Devil and one-time prince of Hell.

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