The Correspondence: more material

You need more material to further understand The Correspondence. Certain buildings of The Bazaar are decorated with those symbols…
Unlocks: Watchful 81, a Scholar of the Correspondence 1

Improvise a telescope

From the Forgotten Quarter, it's possible to get a look at some of those symbols, with the right tools.
Requires Patent Scrutinizer x 1
Straightforward: Watchful 86?

Rewards spoiler

The black spires

You set up your equipment in a broad avenue away from a pack of hunting devils. The curved black spires of the Bazaar glisten like… what? Damp shells, perhaps, or dew-covered obsidian. You can only see a few symbols from this angle, as many are obscured by dense clouds of bats, but it's enough to help your researches. You have no need to write them down: one doesn't easily forget letters of the Correspondence.

Rewards :
40 x Cryptic Secret

What are the devils hunting?

The brass hunting horns of devils ring out across the empty avenues of the Forgotten Quarter. What, or who, are they hunting?
[Unlocked with Watchful 82, no longer available at Watchful 93]

What did they say about curiosity?

Observing devils at their hunts is hardly a safe pastime, but could be interesting.

_ challenge

Success spoiler

Blood sport

You observe their hunts for a few days, although it's difficult to look at what happens when they catch up with some wretched victim. The devils have a small, unmarked prison at the edge of the Forgotten Quarter. Every few days, someone escapes, and the devils come for them. This isn't any sort of infernal security: this is sport.

Reaping the academic benefits

The hard work on the Correspondence has been done. Now, how to profit from it?

A few quiet seminars

The Ministry of Public Decency has forbidden speaking about the Correspondence, but a few discreet meetings with masked scholars might be profitable.

Success spoiler

An evening rich in forbidden knowledge

Your knowledge of the Correspondence gains you entry to the tiny hidden world of the scholars of forbidden knowledge. Barely a word is said, but hastily-published works are exchanged and the scholars thrust banned texts into your hands in the hope of learning more of the Correspondence.

A public lecture

The Ministry of Public Decency be damned! The truth will be told!

_ challenge

Success spoiler

Biding their time

You lecture a hall crammed with a strange mix of scholars, curious Society types, artists and some people you suspect are anarchists. You explain the simpler and less dangerous aspects of the Correspondence to a rapt audience. At the rear of the hall are four unobtrusive gentlemen, who constantly write through your lecture. You think your daring may come back to haunt you.
