A kind request from a concerned Londoner

Please, for the Love of all that is Light and Law, make this text read “…to the surprises The Fifth City has to offer”, or something similar, at least. Anything but what it says now!

I might be sorely mistaken, but I cannot recall any other character or storylet refer to the setting the game takes place in as “Fallen London.” The way this storylet reads now feels way too much like it refers to the Actual Title of the Videogame Proper, which is just no good.

Early game material was my thought as well when I saw the examples. I imagine (and know from patch information) that bits are continually being revised. Maybe Fallen London’s time will come!
