Two vast stalactites, containing a third suspended between them, like an embrace. One is misshapen and ungainly, one smaller and ovoid. The third is like a knife, aimed down, down below.
The first chapter of Firmament is here! Journey to the Roof to unravel a mystery long in the making; uncover new locations, conflicts and intrigues that speckle the Roof like the false-stars; follow fire, and save yourself from what comes after.
Firmament is Fallen London’s next major expansion, a main story arc that’s free to all players. It begins once you have progressed the Railway story arc as far as Ealing Gardens.
As part of this first chapter, you’ll also unlock the citadel of Hallow’s Throat, a new location on the Roof. Traverse the Lung and Spleen. Reshape yourself. Water your new throat at the Arms.
To begin Firmament, look for an opportunity card in your deck. For those who’ve completed the prologue, look for the air to clear, anywhere in London.
EDIT: After 7 days since you finished the prologue, you’ll get a message that will increase Firmament to 40. This means the initial story, where you probably don’t have the ship ready, is gone.
A quick summary from diagonal reading over Discord. I don’t want to spoil myself and I don’t have the time to play it now.
New map. MAAAP!!!
New location with its market
New items, of course
A very nice item pointing East… but nothing else to it, for now
I love this new part of fallen London. First I saw the map and my kin fell halfway to the floor, now i’m playing the story and really feels invested. You got me by the guts !
The map is so so gorgeous, I clicked and just spent a few moments staring in awe. This story looks so good I am insanely excited to play it (alas at the moment I am tragically out of actions due to a lengthy jaunt in the Mirror-Marches)
By the way, the currency for the bazaar up there can be exchanged with nodules of warm amber. A good reason to be on friendly terms with the rubbery gentlemen.
My first instinct on seeing the new market is to go back to Aeschaven and grind warm amber for a few days, just in case the items are relevant to the story.
Note that the new currency is supposedly worth 0.05 Echoes (EDIT— my bad arithmetic, originally I had written 0.2) , according to its description, which means that if you choose to sell Warm Amber—usually valued at 0.1 Echo—you are doing so at cost.
Personally, I’m going to hold off liquidating my stockpile until we find a more economical way of accumulating Stuivers—though I may give in and make the one-time purchase of the new equipment if no such method becomes apparent before the next chapter of Firmament.
