The Silt Verses Wiki


Glottage, at present, is the capital of The Peninsula. It is a city composed of districts, of which we know one in the south of Glottage to be called the Furnace District[2], and another area being called Miller's Bank. Its primary gods seem to be The Slag King and the Saint Electric, with the Saint Electric's preference for radio being the greatest limiter on the spread of internet within the Peninsula.

Trivia[]

  • When asked about the origin of the names of the two capitals, the creators responded: "To get to 'Glottage' you’ve got glottis, clot, blot, maybe even spillage - so an immediate sense of richness and density: staining, suffocating, pollution, spreading, viscosity, which made sense for how Carpenter describes the city way back when. 'Nesh' was just the polar opposite of Glottage - a fast, modern, metallic word without any meat on it."[10]
