Llénn?c?c?nnèll, the Anachronisle

An island at the southernmost end of the Cathnoquey chain, formerly known as "Llénn?c" (Quey for "south-but-we-mean-west") when it was an independent state during the Second Empire.

After the famous surrender of Akaviri forces at Pale Pass to Reman Cyrodiil, Llénn?c was quickly annexed as Imperial territory to help facilitate the capture of any Tsaesci military-leaders seeking to evade their failed invasion by means of the north-but-really-east sea straits.

When no such nets bore fruit-- perhaps since the Tsaesci indeed never invaded by sea and therefore did not use it for retreat-- the Imperial Dracocryptography & Authentifications Congress petitioned to the Elder Council that the native government be further reorganized "to alleviate the sleeve-strain of invaluable but atrophying memospores". Seeing no need for extended deliberations, Llénn?c's original inhabitants were almost immediately moth-altered by Decree to serve as a collective repository for the most ancient dream-drafts that had not been converted to silk "either due to negligence or whim or both".

Perhaps because of the haste of this mass alteration and even more "negligence or whim", the eventual result was an island of living historical records that made no sense as the population began to mate in their now-unnatural fashion. Mongrel-memory-mothmen of anachronistic power and a fantastic reproductive cycle attempted a poorly-planned siege of the IDA Congress Mission House by the end of the year. The retaking of Llénn?c might have proved victorious had the leaders of the coup ever reached agreement on how best to apply their ever-varying and non-linear recognitions of simple logistics.

The Empire has never relinquished its holdings on the Anachronisle. It was eventually renamed "Llénn?c?c?nnèll" after subsequent failed sieges by the mothmen, a small palindrome trans-loop magic that surprisingly rendered the island both inescapable by its prisoners and yet safe for officially-sanctioned visitors bearing a proper set of phrenolocles.

Good stuff. Again reminds me of Adams. "Imprisonment by palindrome" screams fun surreal satire.

Now I just need to bone up on Ancestor Moths again. Now where's that icepick...

They must have entered at Pale Pass, through a door the Amulet had opened. Reman was the light they followed in.

Phrenolocles- Head Glasses. First reaction: "aren't all spectacles glasses on the head?" Second reaction: "Ohh, glasses for the head. Wait, what?" Third reaction: "Oh, okay, like Tinfoil hats, right?"

Another smug, "funny" submission from TV Tropes. Who would've thought?
