Mutton Island
"Once, this simple fishing village was part of the London suburbs, before London fell and the waters rushed in. Smoke spirals from cottage chimneys. A lonely hill rises behind town."[1]
"Mutton Island houses a small, vibrant fishing community. But you can't buy a piece of fish on the island for love nor money. Where does it all go?"
Mutton Island is a small island in the Southern Archipelago, home to a fishing hamlet named Quaker's Haven. With a single jetty and one pub to the island's name, calling it a village is a bit generous.[2][3] It's famed for its Rubbery Lumps, which get their rich taste thanks to the well water on the island.[3][4]
The Fruits of the Zee Festival is held here every August, and Londoners can take a ferry to the island for a low price at this time of year.[5]
Miriam Plenty, of Mrs Plenty's Carnival in London, was raised here, and used to be the landlady of the inn.[6]

The Drowned Man is connected to the well on the island, and is able to influence dreams from it. The islanders claim that he "is not a god", yet periodically conduct sacrifices to him.[3][7][8]
The Fate of Mutton Island
The ultimate fate of Mutton Island and its inhabitants is uncertain. The various reported outcomes include:
- The thirtieth celebration of the Fruits of the Zee Festival saw a royal visit from The Fathomking, to much commotion and excitement from the locals. After the festival, the locals seem to have taken all of their valuables with them and walked into the sea, deserting the island entirely.[9][10][11][12][13]
- The Admiralty blockaded and quarantined the island, until "proper manners and appetites" were restored. There were no further explanations.[14][15]
- The Khanate launched a nighttime invasion on Mutton Island, seizing control and capturing the inhabitants, save for a number of hidden refugees.[16][17][18]
