I don’t exactly know about letting the white through to the neath. Salt made his way to the Neath without outside interference, so it seems possible that the White could make the trip if it really wanted. As for the second point, I think at this point "The White" must pretty certainly relate to one specific judgement. There is an interaction in Frostfound where you recieve a memory of Salt interacting with The White where it is a pretty clear reference to one entity, like "His nimbus guttered".
My personal guess is that you make it through the gate, and in full view of the host of judgements spell out The Name in the correspondence, letting them know about The Bazaar and the betrayal. Then you are eaten because the stars are dicks. The end.
Mr. marine just happened to see your name recently, and thought I might look at your journal. I had watched as you left additional messages throughout the evening. As a fellow seeker I have to know, did you go NORTH?
Can someone update who reached the Avid Horizon, as of this moment?
Bjorntfh is the first Founder, of course.
I understand Space9 Found also (correct?)
Who else, please? (Maybe one of the Founders can open a topic for founders, to acknowledge, as suggested before?) edited by Gonen on 6/25/2016
I’ve drawn and played the Ace of Hungers. So it begins.
Assuming that I have a tremendous amount of patience (and curiosity about that Mr Eaten’s Tattoo business), can I just keep increasing Seeking by getting UP, playing a single card each week and then doing whatever it takes to get rid of the UP? (How bad an idea is this, in short.)

Each card has a SMEN cap of its UP unlock * 3, so for example the UP 6 card would let you gain SMEN if your current SMEN was 18 or lower.
While not being a Seeker myself, of course I couldn’t resist looking at those seven clues Alexis posted a couple days ago.
No. 7 "Sand" reminded me that there’s a Borges short story called "The Book of Sand" which is about a monstrous book that grows a new page for every page you read. The story’s protagonist - having almost been driven mad - eventually gets rid of the book by hiding it amidst the bookshelves of the National Library because "the best place to hide a leaf is in a forest."
Well, buying yourself out of UP via Opportunity Cards is an expensive method of going about things.
It is, however, tremendously cheaper than the appalling secrets and reasonably grindable even for a new character, so I’ll stick with it as far as it goes. Somebody might as well do it this way.
Teaspoon, you still need some expensive stuff, so if this is an alt don’t neglect generating income; I’m 5/7 of the way through St Arthur’s Candle and so far I’ve needed five Searing Enigmas (will be seven, almost certainly), a Mourning Candle, a Thirsty Bombazine Scrap, a Brass Ring, a Bazaar Permit, and a Patent Scrutinzer Deluxe!.
