Suggestion: The Constable Renown Items

[psgarak]

I’m a strong proponent of the Corpsecage Theory, and I think that the name “Place Where they Bury the Bodies” sounds like it could fit but it’s not definitive. I will say it definitely sounds like the name of a 40-Renown item. The names of these items tend to be elaborate and evocative.

Hellish Hymn does not sound like the name of a 40-Renown item to me. I’m guessing that’s the 25-Renown item, which will probably be found in Ladybones Road where the Embassy is located. Remember, last time they released Renown items they teased the a 25-Renown item because the name was just so awesome (Defenestrating Boots! :D).

My secret hope is that the 10-Renown item for hell is a +4 Watchful companion called the Undergoat.

This is, of course, assuming that they follow the pattern established by previous factions. I’m kind of hoping they shake things up a little, because being too symmetric would be out of character for Fallen London.

He regains his composure and hands you the bowler hat, suggesting that you might want to add it to your repertoire of disguises. You notice that it would have fitted somebody else’s head other than his. It smelled faintly of antiseptic.

I AM crying. I feel sad now and want to give Totally-Not-Sherlock a hug.

Hahaha, this would be a big surprise! :D

Its not exactly far out there in a hard to get place, but I could see the renowned 40 item for the constabulary being “A record of your knighting for service to London”, which would be gained by visiting the Queen. Main reason I suggest this, comes from the being allowed back into the palace storyline coming out sometime this year hopefully.

As for constabulary renown 10, I could see it being an antique detective badge which predates the fall. “This badge guarantees, a slight nod of respect from any constable that see’s it.” The badge is not responsible for any nostalgic laced conversation about the surface.

While it’s possible that the Empress’s Court will be back by then, I’d not count on it.

I could see your idea of knighthood as a Renown item for Society, though, since they’ll be receiving the conversion later this summer.

That honestly would make more sense for knighthood to be a society item.

I am hoping that Failbetter’s writers would notice this. Since the Watchful content progression revamp, there has not been new stuff about him, and certainly nothing much about Fallen London’s version of Dr. Watson.
