Thisby


 * "It doesn’t feel it to me, but Thisby’s tiny: four thousand people on a rocky crag jutting from the sea, hours from the mainland. It’s all cliffs and horses and sheep and one-track roads winding past treeless fields to Skarmouth, the largest town on the island."

Thisby is the island where the Scorpio Races take place. and the home of the capaill uisce. Single parents are common on the island, as people leave for the mainland or are killed by the water horses. Cases such as the Connolly family are unusual as both parents were killed (by a capall uisce) at the same time.
