Metempsychosis, or Meeting Your End

Having been reminded of how horrible death is in Fallen London I’m kind of intrigued at what would drive a Londoner to an existence of perpetuating such atrocities forever in exchange for a thankless existence where your only reward for being a good Boatman is, well, a paddle.

It’s tempting to become something more than human, someone feared and mythical… but yes, the working conditions and duties leave much to be desired.

Though after having conquered death in the High Wilderness, my characters would want to reform it in the Neath as well, and a benevolent Boatman who was once mortal himself would certainly be in demand.
