Update: I have found Patrons on both qualities I’ve listed here. Much thanks and appreciated the help from my patrons.
Greetings, citizens of Neath. I find myself looking for some patrons to help me with my Shadowy and Persuasive qualities since I find them horribly lacking for my Ambition story.
My status is as follow:
Watchful: 21
Shadowy: 24
Dangerous: 39 (just finished smashing some Rattus faber, the nasty lot)
Persuasive: 17
I’m currently doing Light Fingers Ambition and I do find myself quite in a pinch from the various factions in Fallen London.
As a way of introduction, I am not very picky. Someone has to make a living down here, and dabbling in every pot of honey is perfectly acceptable for me.
As for my past…I was from the Surface. I think I lost some of my memories upon wakening in New Newgate, but I still remembered my trade, and my skills are most useful down here since people trade secrets and rumours as a currency.
I hope you could extend your hospitality towards this fledgling (yet dangerous) protégé.
Sincerely,
HimmelFallen edited by HimmelFallen on 11/28/2015 edited by HimmelFallen on 11/28/2015 edited by HimmelFallen on 11/28/2015
my alt, suheyla, is in need of some lessons from an invisible eminence. She is tired of stumbling on every rock on the road. stats: w125, s78, d104, p110. the link: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/suheyla @mizadil my main(link in the signature) has an impossibly keen eye. He is an extraordinary mind, if you like, you can send a request for patronage.
Greetings, I am seeking Patronage in Shadowy tasks, as someone that enjoys venturing with or without company, after all-- "Misery loves company." or so they say. I enjoy literature, as well as a tad bit of poetry here and there, as a Poet-in-process myself, yet wishful for one day to perhaps reach to be an Author. I have a growing passion towards tea and whatever might be related to such.
Nevertheless, I am here in need of an Invisible Eminence, as I am interested in all types of stealthy ventures, throughout the Neath and would gladly be willing to go in such ventures with someone that would be more capacitated at such.
"I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscle, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?"
If anyone would give me the honour to have the company of such Invisible Eminence, the link is right below, edited by Teaologist on 1/5/2016
When I’m not running from nightmares or the constables you will find me looking for hidden treasures of all kind. I dare to dabble here and there – seeking for contacts among all partys of the neath. Most likely people call me suble and daring. But also magnanimous and licentious.
As I am new to these lands and desire not to stamp on any toes (or tentacles or other appendages), I seek a kind guide with a silver Persuasive tongue. My needs in the Neath are to learn the native tongue of this land, that I might gain suitable companionship and the position of an Author who can woo the world with my own tale of woe. In return for linguistic training, I shall oblige such a Patron as much as I can accommodate, although Patrons must be willing to work around my strict regimen of cleanliness (a condition of a delicate nature that I unfortunately inherited from my departed mother).
My stats are:
Persuasive 79
Watchful 75
Dangerous 52
Shadowy 38
Alas, no riddles today. They vex me and I especially desire not to be vexed today. Merci beaucoup, delicieuse amis. A bientot.
First time posting on the forums so first of all greetings, im currently "watchful" oriented but my plans are to buy a ship and sail the unterzee, im seeking training on all stats but my priority is "dangerous".
My stats not regarding items are as follow:
Watchful: 73
Shadowy: 46
Dangerous: 58
Persuasive: 52
As for the riddle its translated from portuguese but hopefully you can understand it:
What is it that once you say its name, it ceases to be?
I am currently seeking a patronage, preferentially to improve my abilities to sneak out little things and spy.
I am also interested in increasing my persuasive, because why hiding when you can get what you want with a nice smile?
My stats are the following:
· Watchful 57
· Shadowy 64
· Dangerous 65
· Persuasive 72
Right now, I live in a small cottage by the Observatory. But this might change as I like to move frequently. Come and visit me if you want to find me: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Selyannes
Yours sincerely,
I am now seeking a patron of unparalleled ability in the art of shadows. I am shadowy, obviously, and in need of assistance in learning my craft. I will be forever grateful to who ever my future patron will be. Ta ta for now! vanishes then reappears after 3 secs. Needs practice :/
In this sordid existance we can but hope for love, beauty, sensation, and fear. I seek a Patron willing to show me both the pleasures and the pains of this fair city. The silver glimmer of a knife in the darkness, the ruby rose red of blood in the snow. In short, I wish to be more dangerous, and to reap the dubious rewards entailed.

S:8
D:9

Although yet a neophyte of this city’s ways, by mind and heart are open, and my hunger for experience sharp and pure. My lodgings can be found in Veilgarden, and I look forward to making your acquaintance.
And so, "Black withing, Red without, Four corners round about. What am I?"
The face, sallow. The skin, marked by scars. The eyes, shining with the lust for gold.
The soul, {EDIT: Never mind I seemed to have misplaced this}.
He {EDIT:was} searching for a patron in any of the Neath’s four great praxes, although a Shattering Force or an Extraordinary Mind would be most appreciated.
An intriguing (or is that intrigant) and puissant young gentleman, recently arrived in Fallen London, seeks a patron to introduce him to the finer points of navigating the city, as he pursues the murderer of his brother.
Here I am again! My old patron seems to have stopped talking to me. Or moving. So I’d enjoy another! If my abilities seem rather high it’s because they are, but I’ve got a wide variety of talking rats and things to push them down. I’d prefer to finish my tutelage in shadowy business.

And finally…what’s the difference between F. F. Gebrandt and a wet blanket?
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]Any stat is fine with me, but I was hoping specifically for someone to help me blend into the shadows and/or emerge from them to hit people, preferably the latter. Training in evil laughter is optional.[/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]My brain is devoid of a witty riddle, which is ironic considering my highest stat. Let us all pretend I came up with an amusing, thought-provoking conundrum.[/color]

[li]Enveloped by shadow (within and without) it is a narrow path we walk, the merest glinting ray of the Surface shining upon us all. I seek guidance only to delay (if but by mere hours) that inevitable moment when one will slip and fall even further.
[li]If my earnest request is met by any kind soul (I don’t wish to discriminate but a soul is definitely preferred) please call upon me at any hour of the day or night, if I am out feel free to distract yourself by a round of cards with my monkey butler,
[li]P.S. What is in my pocket?

Good evening, delicious friends to be. I am a rising star of verse and mystery and find myself need of exchanging a drink of presence in exchange for lessons - that is, a patron to help me refine my already remarkable talent. I go by the name Penelope Vespers (not to be confused with my identically named cousin who has vanished zailing the Zee).
I am of course a breathtaking and sagacious lady who pursues a curious mixture of creative and investigative enterprises. I am currently pursuing the wanton job of journalist and chase dreams of becoming an author of 'Neath found secrets (all cleverly hidden in image and metaphor of course). If I had to describe myself numerically I’d say…
Watchful 65
Shadowy 43
Dangerous 20
Persuasive 83
I am happy to be taught any, of course, though I seek most to sharpen the crescent of my smile; the Persuasive and creative art has always been my talent. However I am happy to admit that perhaps I have little left to learn from a patron in that area. My Watchful brilliance can always use a hand being honed as I find traditional schooling and science to be droll (We left everything else on the surface, why keep science?!). I can also use a hand being more Shadowy next (I mean honestly I am in dire need of learning to shut up once in a while). Finally, lessons playing Dangerous games would be my last choice (I’m a lover not a fighter).
As for a riddle - perhaps one relevant to the 'Neath?
I have no father, only a grandfather. Though I’ll father many, I’ll have no sons, only daughters.
While the others gather golden dreams, I just make love and only once it seems.
What am I? edited by TentacleGirl on 1/6/2016
hello everyone!
i’m relatively new in FL and so far, i’ve been enjoying the content without patron. i actually don’t even know, what benefits come with being a protege. do patrons boots stats? are they needed for some cards / events? anyway, if there is someone to become may patron, i don’t mind :)
my stats:
Watchful 70
Shadowy 62
Dangerous 61
Persuasive 43
Hello, delicious neighbours!
I am a new person in Fallen London, but it looks like I am going to stay here for a long time. This city is full of mysteries, and I can’t wait to uncover as much of them as I can.
I can’t do that on my own. I need a guide, a light in this flickering shadows. Someone I could trust - though I already know that real trust is a weakness here. This is a price for power, and I am willing to pay it.
My Stat Line is Watchful - 72 Shadowy - 36 Dangerous - 68 Persuasive - 98
I have included my profile below - http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/profile/Deathwatch101 edited by Deathwatch101 on 1/8/2016 edited by Deathwatch101 on 1/8/2016 edited by Deathwatch101 on 1/10/2016 edited by Deathwatch101 on 2/23/2016
Pleasure to meet you all! I’m Shinnyshin and I’m currently prioritizing Watchful and Dangerous…but can’t seem to increase Shadowy for the life of me.
This is my stat spread:
Watchful : 75
Shadowy: 51
Dangerous 83:
Persuasive: 70
I’m going for Watchful first atm because expeditions seem like the most straightforward means of progression, what with how arduous Dangerous Beast grinding is. Shadowy I can’t seem to catch a break in and Master Thief is two steps forward, one step back the whole way. I really could use a patron for, well…anything–though I’m not sure how it works. If it multiplies gains, perhaps Watchful? If flat adds skill XP, then definitely Shadowy.
Either way, though, I’d be very glad for any help I can get.
