One of the Unterzee's most ferocious | 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 [[Gods of the Unterzee|Stone]]; her father is the Thief-of-Faces, the first [[Snuffers|Snuffer]]. It is rumored that [[The Fathomking's Hold|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. | Mt Nomad may also be connected to the Lifebergs that drift near her in the Void's Approach.

''"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."'' | |||
''"He leans forward and whispers to you, gazing into your eyes. And you see the black glass shadow on the green glass of the zee. You hear its groaning hunger, and the death of the ships it breaks. You see its father the Thief-of-Faces, coming and going, dwelling in it for a time like a maggot in a peach. You cannot see the Thief's shape clearly: but you can see his old shapes slough from him, like flakes of flint."'' | |||
It turns out that Mt. Nomad was created by the [[Snuffer|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. | |||
