I didn’t catch the full text (on a mobile device), but when you choose your destination on the Unterzee, The Iron Republic appears as an option and does not say it is locked for now, merely warning that the Iron Republic is a dangerous place. It looked like the prerequisite was some amount of an Infernal beverage, but (because on a mobile device) couldn’t see which, or how much.
Anyone else seen this? I’m heading back out shortly, once I’ve stocked up on Sherry and Brandy. edited by ElseWiseIAm on 4/21/2012
Well howdy there!
I’ll head out to zee, though I have no way to get any sizable amount of infernal beverage, I’ll check if the option is there as I make a loop through Hunter’s Keep.
Yep, I spotted that on my way out to Polythreme. It says you can get safe passage to the Iron Republic via the Numismatrix or (if I remember right) via your lodgings. Not sure if this content has been released yet? Though sounds like it will be the next big content release, which is fun! :)
I think it said that if you go there, you may be permanantly changed… I can’t wait to find out how!
Literally minutes before I saw this post, I finished a seal-hunting loop and didn’t read any of the options before clicking London. One more Seal to go, though, so I’ll be sure to catalog it once I’m done getting this one into shape.
(And the Iron Republic is especially interesting to those pursuing a Nemesis, since the indication at the content boundary is that the story will continue there.)
The Iron Republic
Freedom from laws and tyrants. All laws and tyrants, without exception. This place is exceptionally dangerous. You may be permanently changed. Requires 1x Iron Republic Safe-Conduct, with the tooltip “Look to the Numismatrix or your Lodgings to find one of these.” Didn’t see any new options under Local Gossip or the other Neighbors, though. edited by Aspeon on 4/22/2012
Just found an option in Ladybones road to move the Ambition Nemesis forward, might give whats needed.
Once my next action comes up, I’ll move forward with it, and see what happens
EDIT: Just double checked, wasn’t the path to the Iron Republic, just had some left before I got to the content barrier edited by Myke Harryson on 4/24/2012 edited by Myke Harryson on 4/24/2012
From the FB page: “Very soon, we will be serving a banquet of new stories for your terror and delight. A certain infernal outpost is involved. We shall say more tomorrow.”
If the idea behind the latest tweet on the official feed was to make me mouth-frothingly excited to get to the Iron Republic … mission accomplished. Mission oh so diabolically accomplished.
The last time we were warned not to go somewhere, it turned out to be a surprisingly pleasant city, though sombre and occasionally of excessive vitality. Surely that means the Iron Rupblic isn’t as bad as they say either, right?
Just kidding. I’m not leaving the dock without a crew of toughs and the ship’s cannon But at least this means I have something to do other than cheekily camp out the House of Chimes. (My subscription’s expired, you see.)
Personally, I just pray they dont pull that nonsense where they release it and then make us wait a week to get a safe conduct…
And too true. I adored Polythreme. But I do have…a theory…its piecemeal, but goes as follow. -Hell has obtained a double agent of the Presbyter in the form of Feducci.
-Hell as made him the captain of the Brass Trieme
-They are invading Hell as a plan to obtain the peaches of Immortality
-The “Monkey Poisonings” refer to Hells attempts to kill the monkey king, the peaches guardian, who brought the peaches to the orient, where the Widow processes them into Brandy. edited by DukeLawliet on 5/2/2012
