"Let's speak of the South. Of a place of flint."
In the bright heart of the Elder Continent lies a prison built to hold a pretender-god. You'll see what lies there. But first you'll need to steal an instrument of power from the lair of the Order Vespertine. And that's the easy bit.
Flint is a special Christmas treat: a two-part, Truly Exceptional Story. Part I is coming on 29 October, and Part II will follow on 26 November.
Written by Alexis Kennedy, each part on its own is bigger than a standard Exceptional Story.
Traffic with the inscrutable Bishop of St Fiacre's; penetrate the mysteries of the Order Vespertine; and in Part II, be the first to see what lies behind the borders of the Presbyterate...
How does a two-part Exceptional Story work?
Regular subscribers will have access to the first part of the story in November. Anyone who is an Exceptional Friend in December will be able to play both parts of the story then.
This is an experiment in two-part Exceptional Stories. We think it's worth two months' subscription, but if you choose to unsubscribe for November, we'll understand.

I made an account only to comment just how hyped I am about this. I have been thinking for a long time that it would be amazing if the Exceptional stories carried slightly more weight and truly "new" lore, and this is more than I had hoped for. Pretender gods? Visiting the elder continent? Larger than normal stories?
You can have my subscription for both months, Failbetter. Go the hell ahead.

At the risk of necroposting:
Will "Flint" ever be reduced in price?
It's one I'd love to replay - and I know a few others who would, too - but it's literally four times the price of an EF, and five times the cost to replay compared to other EF replays . . . it seems extortionate, especially when a lot of us have already paid for it and it's over a year old.
I'm not saying it necessarily has to be on par with the others, as it is much larger, but £20-ish for a story over a year old and that we've already played -? It's a bit much, especially in this economy.
Any chance of a lower cost?

I'm totally with you, Robin. I've been wanting to replay this for so long but it's incredibly expensive for a story I already know. I was actually hoping for a Christmas discount (one year anniversary and all that) but no such luck.

"Two-part". "Bigger than a standard Exceptional Story". You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. And my money, twice.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien
