Ooh! Ooh! I can be helpful!
I'm a big fan of the guy that runs two tumblr pages, his Saint-Arthur and Saint-Beau blogs, which are delegated to Fallen London and Sunless Sea specifically.

He's also the guy who suggested the idea of (but did not write the story of, that was still Failbetter's work) the island of Nuncio.
He answers a lot of people's questions, which relate to gameplay and to lore in sometimes equal measures, so it's not always the best reading. However, he does have links set up to a majority of his most important lore postings.
It goes without saying that even opening up the following link will result in a saturation of spoilers.

Thank you.

It's the Thief of Faces bit that I didn't know.

So random bits of Sunless Sea weirdness that you will encounter.
One of your engineers mother was a dream hallucination, and her father was a tiger.
You have two cook options, ones a mass rubber tentacles under the control of a mass of coral that wants you to melt it's brain, the other is man wrapped entirely in bandages except for his amazing mustache.
I was once exiled from London for delivering a box from a Monkey Emperor, I don't know what was in the box, but after it was opened everything was on fire. I delivered the box because I need to earn monkey's trust, so I could betray them, kill them, and steal their zeppelin.
This was not the weirdest thing I did that day.

For you and anyone else interested, I learned everything I know by going to saint-arthur.tumblr.com
It's a massive amount of information, but it comes in easily digested bite-sized pieces, and you even get to see how previous theories and understandings of the lore evolved and changed as you proceed through the pages and more information came to light in the game. It's interesting how certain things that most people consider basic facts of the setting, like the relationship between the
However, if you want to submit a question, for the love of god please do a search first. Chances are it's been answered at least twice already.
This user makes a good case for remaining unspoiled, though. There's a lot of excitement to be had in the Neath, and you may be better off experiencing it for yourself. Especially in the case of Sunless Sea, where you can just dive in instead of digging for weeks/months in Fallen London to reach The Good Stuff.

Depot III. where you bring corpses, a rare thing in the neath because death is so hard to make stick while leaving a body.
They cut out hearts of metal from the corpses. They took a tincture that seals away their pain and regret, but that pain hardens into metal that build up in the heart.
After brining enough corpses, the mortician asks you to help with a special autopsy. Seal in a glass case, is an exact copy of the mortician. She says it's her sister.
As she cuts open the corpse, she weeps about their history, about the lose and betrayal they shared. But then you realize something.
This isn't her sister, it isn't even human, it's something that took her face. The Mortician never had a sister.
In the end the mortician asks you for words of comfort. Do you tell her the truth, or help her with the lie

I didn't expect these feels.
