What’s making these cards appear? The skulls?
It only shows the 0x progress lost for me when I use a Sudden Insight as well. It’ll probably be ironed out soon.
You lucky duck, I got nothing special either. Guess I’ll just head back and try again.

There was a card? I only saw the option in the "Start an expedition" options. It looks like that’s gone now though, revolving entirely around expeditioning, which I guess makes more sense.[li]
The 0x Rivals Progress is in fact just A Feature: sometimes your rivals just don’t make progress. The weirdly slightly buggy message does make it look more of a bug thog
I noticed a post about eyeless skulls on this thread last night that isn’t here anymore. It makes me suspicious.
Got a Searing Enigma as the bonus reward off of the Thief’s Cache.
Lucky! Glad to hear there’s a large range of reward values though; my experience has so far been telling me I’m making very little profit.[li]
Best I’ve gotten so far is two Night Whispers (at once) from the temple.
ok, with no sign of the alleged “Traditions of the Forgotten Quarter” option, is there a way to get the second point of archaeologist? I am frustrated!
Just doing a Thief’s Cache Expedition is all that’s required now: The Traditions storylet was short-lived but the confusion it’s sowed has been much more long lasting
Not to nitpick the art, but am I the only person who sees that image as a skull with a naked torso draped over it kind of like a facehugger alien?
Perhaps I just need to get out of the house… :)[li]

For those curious about the mythology behind Fallen London, and to what the Shrine of Deep Blue Heaven might refer – I reviewed my resources on Mongolian sky gods, and came across this entry in a certain well-known encyclopedia:

I was surprised also to read the following:
Seven is, as they say, the number.

Haha I definitely saw that too. I bet it’s uncomfortable to have your butt in that position, though.

How many do you have to do? It keeps saying my archaeologist quality is increasing, but not yet to two.
edit to say cancel that, apparently I invisibly crossed that threshold at some point. To the content!

I have a feeling that the sky god is the same one we dream of and the one who we embody when we visit the Mind of a Long Dead God. I have a feeling the shrine doesn’t have anything to do with Seeking but might have instead been a place of worship to aforementioned god while it was still alive (or being kept alive by prayer if you want to take a Discworld-esque look at it).

I see that also, but I think it looks really cool too. It’s very symbolic, but we’ve yet to find out for what exactly.
It could be the skull of a Snuffer, otherwise I am uncertain.

Now there’s an idea I’ve not explored. The Dreams of Chess suggest that the Beleaguered King learned the Correspondence from the Thunder.

Snuffers have eyes. This much has been proven. Indeed, their skull would look less human even than this eyeless thing.
A certain Airs value now gives an option to thwart Virginia’s progress, if she’s your Rival. (It’s more expensive than Orthos’s, costing a Touching Love Story and some other stuff) So hopefully we’ll see a new expedition soon that lets you go up against her.
There’s also an airs value that gives a rather buggy storylet that seems to let you hinder “Rival E”, whoever that may be
