Godfall
A giant stalactite citadel, severed at the root from the Roof and sent hurtling into the zee below. Now home to a boisterous colony of men known as the Shouting Monks, who may or may not be descendants of the Starved Men depending on who you ask. There's not much to get up to on a giant rock in the middle of the zee other than drinking, fighting and yelling, especially when the citadel on it is sealed up, so the monks have become quite proficient at all three of these things over the years.
The Abbot-Commander technically leads this order, but is usually found leading the daily effort in becoming violently drunk. Whatever administrative efforts occur on Godfall are spearheaded by the Abbot-Captains, including the ongoing defamation campaign against Abbey Rock and their entirely female monastic order. The Shouting Monks are quick to brag of their superior martial prowess in comparison to the "feckless wenches", but are also just as quick to inform you that they don't fight women. Interesting, how that works.
The citadel itself is an enigma, and despite the Admiralty's best efforts very little is known about what lies within. The Starved Men, of course, are a known quantity, but given the issues of... access.. normally encountered when attempting to visit their homes on the Roof, who knows what could be inside one that has fallen to the zee. Surely there's a reason why the Monks have sealed it up, but the lot are rather tight lipped about the matter. That being said, if a visitor were to find their way past the barricades and into the citadel's darkness... Well, the Monks don't have much entertainment most nights aside from their own stories, so it's more than likely they would find the whole thing rather amusing; there might even be odds taken up on the trespasser surviving. The island itself is located in the Sea of Voices and is a close neighbor to Polythreme. Its harbor, Aeschhaven, is far more palatable to most captains than the screaming docks of the Clay City and therefore a common resupplying stop along London's circuitous trade routes.
