Winking Isle

A desolate speck of rock in the middle of, well, nowhere.

The few Seekers lucky enough to visit this isle before the unfortunate occurrences leading up to December 9th, 1891, spent quite a bit of time fasting and meditating for Mr. Eaten. They offered their most prized possessions in sacrifice. One perseverant visitor stayed long enough to obtain a couple of Mr. Eaten's elusive candles. But several mysterious problems regarding occurrences on the island and the passing along of Mr. Eaten's calling card (it seemed to create a duplicate of itself when given to another Fallen Londoner) led to the Masters halting all Mr. Eaten-related activities indefinitely on the aforementioned date - December 9th, 1891. This moratorium ended (at last) on June 8th, 1894; it seems that after two and a half years, everything has finally begun running smoothly.

Somewhat lore-y details about the Isle, from its first visitor, are here:

Bug-related details about the Isle, from its last visitor (before 1894), are here:

Editor's note: I had to put a humorous, lore-connected spin on the Mr. Eaten hiatus somewhere. Regarding the rest of the storyline: it has an ending now, but I won't put it anywhere here (even under a spoiler) until enough individuals have encountered it that it's no longer under wraps. However, if Winking Isle has changed at all besides the bugfixes, I'd love to hear about what's new and different so I can add it to this page!
