Things to do at your Lodgings...
Open a way to other parts of the City
Travel across Fallen London can be fiendishly difficult. But if you're cunning or determined, you'll find a way.
Open a way to other parts of the City
The Docks are Dangerous, but offer opportunities for the very skilled. You can bribe a Corrupt Customs Official to provide you with a dockside permit… [The Wolfstack Docks are most interesting to players with Dangerous 60+.]
Unlocks with 500 x Glim, 200 x Surface Currency
You've gained access to the Wolfstack Docks
The Customs Official looks up as you drop two heavy pouches on his desk. He gasps and squeaks and pulls the blinds down. He closes the door and berates you for your indiscretion. He runs out of breath, stuffs the paper into your pocket and flaps you frantically out of his office. That was fun. You can now travel to the Wolfstack Docks from the map. A hint when you do go there: never say sailor when you mean zailor.
Lose: 500 x Glim
Lose: 200 x Surface Currency
You've learnt a new route:
Route: Wolfstack Docks
Gain access to the Shuttered Palace
If you're more Persuasive, you might want to provide a donation to the Palace cellars. Provide this, and you will always be welcome.
Unlocks with 400 x Greyfields 1882, 1000 x Greyfields 1879
You may now visit the Shuttered Palace
Three burly Clay Men take charge of your delivery of wine. The junior under-butler favours you with a ponderous wink. You can now travel to the Shuttered Palace from the map. Always remember: the Empress dislikes sudden movements.
Lose: 1000 x Greyfields 1879
Lose: 400 x Greyfields 1882
You've learnt a new route:
Route: The Shuttered Palace
Gain access to the Flit
It's said you only need two things to get into the Flit: a head for heights and a criminal record. Actually the second is optional, but they'll want to see you climb like a pro. [The Flit is most interesting to players with Shadowy 60+.]
Unlocks with Shadowy 50
(Shadowy challenge, straightforward at 58)
You've earned the right to visit the Flit.
You can now travel to the Flit from the map. A word of advice when you do: remember, it's all about altitude.
Shadowy increase
You've learnt a new route:
Route: The Flit
It's a long way down.
In Fallen London, you've already come a long way down. You're a mile below where you were born. But there's down and there's down. The black spaces between the roof-tops, and the wet glint of cobbles far below, makes your head spin. Perhaps another time.
Shadowy increase
Bribe your way into the Flit
It is inconceivable that a Flitling might betray all those dramatic and blood-curdling oaths, just for a bribe. Inconceivable. Unless it's a really big bribe.
Unlocks with 1200 x Moon-pearl
The deal is struck!
'Much obliged. Up the wall behind All Christs. Left at the poisoned drainpipe. Right at the sky-gibbet. Don't look the gargoyle in the eye….'
Lose 1200 x Moon-pearl.
You've learnt a new route:
Route: The Flit
Shadowy increase.
If you're lucky enough to own a London Street-Sign, you can use it to open a way to the Forgotten Quarter, where secrets await the very Watchful… [The Forgotten Quarter is most interesting to players with Watchful 60+.]
Unlocks with 1 x London Street Sign
You've opened the way to the Forgotten Quarter…
That wasn't pleasant. The Street Sign has been destroyed. You'll see those shapes in your dreams for years. But the way is open. You can now travel to the Forgotten Quarter from the map. Be careful in there.
Lose: 1 x London Street Sign
You've learnt a new route:
Route: The Forgotten Quarter
Nightmares increase
Gain access to the University through wisdom
Benthic and Summerset Colleges are careful about who they allow to walk their soggy lawns. You'll need to demonstrate you're a scholar of worth. [Note: The University is most interesting to those with Watchful in the 80s and up.]
Unlocks with a Scholar of the Correspondence 1
Gain access to the University through wealth
If it's not what you know, it's what you have in your pockets. A sufficiently generous endowment will open that menacing black door for you. [Note: University content is most interesting to those with Watchful in the 80s and up. You can acquire Memories of Distant Shores by using Academic items in your inventory.]
Unlocks with 1000 x Moon-pearl, 1000 x Jade Fragment
You've opened the way to the University
Deep in the stony nethers of the University, you are assured, a celebratory brass plate with your name has been affixed to a bookcase. Generations of students yet unborn will know your name! A stolid porter nods to you. The great black door creaks open before you. Ah, the life of the mind.
You've learnt a new route:
Route: the University
Lose: 1000 x Moon-pearl.
Lose: 1000 x Jade Fragment.
London's most notable maze full of tigers. They like large donations of animal fodder. They have a lot of stripy mouths to feed.
Unlocks with 5000 x Rat on a String
You've earned entrance to the Labyrinth of Tigers
The last of the wagons delivers your contribution. Your season pass is handed over by a junior keeper. Despite the lavish gift, the Tiger Keeper is too busy to see you in person. Nevertheless, the tigers await you.
You've learnt a new route: Route: the Labyrinth of Tigers
Lose: 5000 x Rat on a String.
Mahogany Hall! HOME to London's FINEST and FOREMOST ENTERTAINERS! To become welcome backstage, you'll need to bribe the stage-urchins with a selection of items. Things magicians use in their acts, for example. These sorts of things are always in short supply here. [Mahogany Hall is most interesting to players with Shadowy or Persuasive 95+.]
Unlocks with 20 x Lucky Weasel, 10 x Reprehensible Lizard, 1000 x Silk Scrap, 10 x Sulky Bat, 10 x Talkative Rattus Faber, 1 x Magician's Gloves, 1000 x Whispered Secret, 10 x Ridiculous Hat

You could convince someone to deny certain rumours. You could then arrange matters so that they become the target of those rumours! It would be a wicked betrayal. But it would also be a more effective way of diverting attention from you. And immoderately entertaining.
