[quote=Aronia]Okay, noob question here: how do you discover Atlas and the Khanate? Should I just roam the waters pointlessly until I bump into them?[/quote]There are three ways to discover the Khanate:
[ul][li]If you’ve reached Balmoral and fully upgraded your Cabinet Noir, you’ll get a 10x frequency opportunity card. This will give you a letter to decipher - once you’ve deciphered it, you will get an option to figure out a route to the Khanate. (deciphering this letter is the only way to get access to Khan’s Heart)[/li][li]You can also make a Salt Steppe Atlas by upconverting from 5 Puzzling Maps - using the Atlas will let you find a route to the Khanate.[/li][li]Finally, you can discover the Khanate by zailing through the Salt Steppes. Currently the only way to do this without having already found the Khanate is to go via Polythreme (or Grunting Fen). Simply zail from London to Polythreme, then zail back to London along the currents (you must go along the currents on your way back to London, or you won’t go through the Salt Steppes).
