Erm, yes, I forgot that many countries consider the first number a day and not a month like a savage American might. XD I should have just said June 1st.

. . .Psst, I suspect this could be the gateway to Hell: http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nadirgate.png Remember what the Salty Fabulist said about there being an entrance under the black oily waves? It could be located in an underground cavern (I mean, lower than usual) below zee level that's reached by a tunnel. The tunnel would be paved with a railroad track leading from Moloch Street Station.

I only think it's the door to Hell because of the file name. "Nadir" is the diametric opposite of the zenith of a celestial sphere in astronomy. It's also a good way of saying "abyss" or "lowest point" literally and figuratively. The astronomy part is slightly worrying since that implies an area outside of the planet Earth. That's no easy trip, but I'm sure a magical portal bathed in royal purple light will make matters bearable. :p And what's with the rainbow in the carved image above the arch? Is that Hell's way of greeting its visitors? Kinda like a "Welcome! It'll only be rainbows and butterflies once you enter!" sign?

I am all a-tingle!
