The Basilisk Channel is a large group of independent islands that lie east of New Crobuzon and south of the Jheshull Islands.
Information[]
The islands rely heavily on trade with New Crobuzon as their major source of economic growth, although the area around the islands is infested with pirates.
The islands are home to a variety of languages and dialects, parts of which have been incorporated into the sailors' language of Salt.
