Use your Aeolian Screams

Will the screams stop? Will they bring the storm?

Take your Aeolian Screams somewhere high

Lofty snow-capped mountains would work best. You'll have to make do with the highest towers of the Flit. The urchins know the best spots. [This will always gain you Storm-Threnodies. There may be other effects.]
(Unlocked with 25 x Aeolian Scream. Connected: Urchins 6. Route: The Flit 1.)

Fortunate spoiler

A hard night

Up here, the glim falls thick on rooftops. The urchins gather up a pile as you wait. Not even they come to this rooftop often. Each has a tale of seeing an unfortunate of the Flit blown off the ledge. Two minutes to go. Best rope yourself to the chimney. The storm comes.
You were fortunate!

Fortunate (Rare) spoiler

Old words

Up high, the wild words scream. The urchins lead you to a place where there is sudden silence. A book, resting on a stone eagle at the gable of a grand old house. The urchins won't even look at it. Perhaps they want you to take it away.
You were fortunate!

You've gained 1 x Diary of the Dead

Unlucky spoiler

A secret song

Up this high, the sounds of the city recede to a fog-shrouded hum. The urchins know where to listen out, and when. The old songs are still rattling around the Neath. Calling to each other and shaking the walls. The sound is huge and distant and impossibly lonely. How can these children stand it?
You were unlucky. Better luck next time…
