I'd imagine you can get some killer breaks down there. Hell, even without giant swells you could longboard it just fine.

As they can be shot out of an Icarus in Black, it gives a new meaning to the word "canonically."

Off the Boreal Coast
There's a place called Palmerston
That's where you wanna go
to get away from it all
sinners in the ash,
tenders souls melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
to the sound of a silver brass band
Down in Palmerston

Aestival, Khan's Shadow, ooh I wanna take you to
Cumaean, Carnelian, come on comely matron
Port Cecil, Nuncio,
baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Palmerston,
we'll get there fast
and then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go,
way down in Palmerston.

I find that bound sharks are the best boards for the Unterzee and if you treat them right and feed them all their favorite treats they will protect you from the other monsters of the depths.

Maintaining a controlling interest in my soul requires a pretty constant negotiation between the various shareholder interests. Thankfully the Fingerkings 23% control makes a pretty good foil to unite the other factions enough to get to 51%.

Sure. You can also save yourself roughly ten painful, tortuorous minutes and just drown yourself pre-emptively. The unterzee has no shallow waters- it's deep regardless of how you approach london.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.

Now you made me want to be a monster hunter just to do that!

Well, there's no wind down there, so why would there be waves?

Probably. Huge IRL caves have their own weather systems so I guess physics defying supermassive caves like the Neath would have their own as well.

It rains in Fallen London, even storms.

Also consider that my character is a Monster Hunter, consider it cannon that my the Manager of the Starveling Cafe longboards.

Not much of a wave, though.

There's certainly a Wax Wind. Waves and Zee breezes are mentioned in the text I am pretty sure. Drownie's heads certainly bob in the river.


Its a very good point you make smile
