I can't find any other threads discussing this, so: the Echo Bazaar twitter feed has posted mentions of the Carnelian Coast, along with something about an area called the Boreal Reach and Adam's Cape. Posts of this sort are usually preludes to the release of new content, and the Carnelian Coast in particular has been mentioned as being involved in the next book of Persuasiveness (not sure which number that'd be; likely book three).
So, there are two possibilities:
One: Fallen London is planning a crossover with Runescape.
Two: We're on the brink of gaining access to the Elder Continent!
Last time I tried to post the content directly from the Twitter feed, yesterday, I ended up slinking off with my tail between my legs, no longer able to post replies at all for some odd reason. But if you're interested, all three snippets are located within the most recent five tweets.

Inland progress in Sunless Sea is limited. You won't go far into the Pale Wastes beyond Whither; you won't be governing Port Carnelian or exploring the Elder Continent. Conversely, in the main FL game, we won't model travel to some of the farther weirder places in SS. There are overlaps, but your perspective and goals in each game will be very different.
But I'm afraid no, it's very unlikely there'll be any Carnelian Coast content in FL before SS launches. It's a big undertaking, and me and Chris have our hands full with Sunless Sea and the project we finally got to talk about last week...

I can't speak for weekly snippets nor for the next major FL update, but Sunless Sea beta will be here in less than two months, so at least some of the promotion is certainly on that account!

and, yes, the lore goes both ways! Pentecost Apes, the Tree of Ages, Blue Prophets, Lorn-Flukes, the Poet-Pirate and milliner-bats all started out as Sunless Sea content.

All content in Sunless Sea will be available eventually to non-backers for a Nex-ish sort of price - it's only a six-month exclusivity period we committed to (and the exclusive material is a very tiny proportion of the ocean of content).

Although when reading through the Sunless Sea site, it was interesting to discover that the Pentecost Apes had been brought up a while back, although not directly named as such.

I'm sorry, but due to policy clarifications, I will no longer be giving detailed mechanics advice on the forums.
If you still need help, try the IRC channel.

Here's a question: Won't it be really weird if Sunless Sea comes out in a playable state and permits travel NORTH and to the Carnelian Coast before the base game (Fallen London) does? Won't that kind of prematurely reveal the secrets of these locations? It's sort of a weird inversion of effort if that ends up being the case and I sincerely hope it doesn't end up that way.
