Tell me a little about the Iron Republic

Intrepid explorers have recently discovered new and exciting ways to have body and mind fail you while in certain exotic ports of call as well.

I suppose in hindsight that would have made a lot of sense - but as one of my main cash grinds involves vast quantities of Souls, this piece of information is of particular importance to me. Thankyou! :-D

Interesting, I never had that happen to me in my visits there. Could you tell us (in spoiler brackets) which storylet it is? I don’t feel like searching through all Iron Republic storylets on the wikia, there’s quite a few…

Day 48: Above Eagles. As far as I know you only lose 200 souls if you fail the challenge it is entirely possible to not encounter that day and if you do you have a chance not to lose any souls

Though, iirc, there’s one specific day on which having several

(five) brass rings

can make a (slightly) profitable difference.
