The exact number of Fallen Londoners who are without a soul is kept a bit vauge. What I was struck by is the fact that the conflicting numbers are so close to each others, 8-9% versus 11%, with eleven percent being presented as a scandalously high estimate. Why this hair-splitting? Is the exact percentage ammount really that important to the Fallen Londoners? My own suspicion is that it's intended to lampoon discussions about the percentage of homosexuals, since that's the only other place I can think of where 8% or 11% is any kind of controversy.
Also, on the topic, how accurate do you think the numbers presented in the game is? I'm not inclined to believe the devils OR the anarchists on this. I personally think that the number of soulless is much higher considering how much souls I had to reap just to get the key to my room at the Western Tower. They do seem to imply that completel soulless people are somewhat rare, but just about everybody has a stain on their soul somehow and it adds up to a thriving market of souls. I've yet to look into it further, so I don't know all that much about the specifics of the soul trade.

Well, we do all go to great lengths for fate, why should devilkind be any different?

News in the Neath: Noted citizen of Fallen London, Abraham Bounty, has acquired six hundred and sixty six souls. Additionally rumour has it that the lion's share of those souls was from a theft of The Brass Embasy itself. We are quite certain that this portents nothing ominous for him. Well, nothing unusually ominous anyway.
