KEY FACTS:
- In our world, Rockall is just a rock that acts as a cormorant rookery and economic zone claimancy point. It is actually underlied by a submarine highland called the Rockall Plateau. Rocail is based on the premise that this plateau is mostly above water.
The language spoken in Rocail is derived from Norn, the dialect once spoken in the Shetland and Orkney Islands - a form of Norse language heavily influenced by a Gaelic substrate.
Rocail's patron saint is the sixth-century Irish figure, Saint Brendan the Navigator. The peculiar cross design favoured in Rocail is sometimes called the Cross of Saint Brendan.
