The £2000 option in the Sunless Sea kickstarter- What were the 3 islands that were named? I think that Tanah-Chook was one, as his website predates Sunless Sea.

Yeah, Tanah-Chook is named after me, not the other way around - but, it's not a proper island; just a little spit of land with an ruin on it. Proper islands have docks and inhabitants and stories. If memory serves, the fan-designed locations were Visage, Nuncio, and... I can't remember which the third was.

After reading this thread, I happened to be sailing to Venderbight and it made me take notice of Tanah-Chook as it happens to be located across the channel from Venderbight.
It's not just some generic ruins on the islet. It appears to be some sort of Mayan or Incan pyramid and courtyard, with some outbuildings.
It made me wonder if there are any similar "ruins" around the Unterzee? I put "ruins" in quotes because it doesn't actually look "ruined", and it's Venderbight - Tanah-Chook might well be a Third City Tomb Colony or something, with a handful of ancient, decrepit people still living there.
