Is there some sort of tally or statistics on how many people have each of the four PoSI specializations? I'm guessing that Persuasive probably has the most since my two characters had those as their highest stat without really trying (until Nyte drank a buncha blood and got all weird, but whatever), but are there numbers lying around to back this up?

Lessons are less useful at lower levels, but theres no reason to wait really. Just send me a calling card whenever and I'll clear some room for it and send you back a protege request when I can.

Hello! My apologies for the interruption. I have two short queries:

1. I've just returned from a long hiatus and discovered that I do not have the quality "A Name Signed with a Flourish". When I first logged in again, I could choose my progress in Making My Name for Dangerous, Shadowy and Watchful but not Persuasive. Long before my hiatus, I made... careful arrangements with both the Barbed Wit and the Acclaimed Beauty and subsequently got exiled to the Tomb Colonies after receiving a Memento of Passion. However, my Memento is now nowhere to be found and both "Seen with a Barbed Wit" and "Seen with an Acclaimed Beauty" are at 6. At the same time, I'm told I'm "not ready to enter the Court" at the Shuttered Palace until I've made a name for myself, although my "Carving out a Reputation at Court" is at 3 (I don't actually remember if I was Banished from the Court previously). Is there any way I can return to where I was without having to play through all the lower-level Persuasive content again? I have many other uses of those actions such as planning Zee-Voyages, stealing things, grinding Echoes...

2. According to the wiki, the third option on "Going Gentle" reduces Connected:Society by 15 CP, but some commenters on that page found that their Connected:Society dropped by 10 levels. Has anyone here faced this problem as well? My Connected:Society is unfortunately rather low and I'd rather not lose 10 levels of it, or give up all my Favours:Tomb Colonies either, but the card is non-discardable.

Thank you for reading this! (I'm new here, so please tell me if there are any posting rules I've accidentally broken.)

1. Sadly not. However, there are some nice persuasive boosts, and you don't actually have to play through that much. worst-case scenario, you should be back within the month.

2. It most likely drops 10 levels, as a price. on the other hand, it likely gives you 25 echoes worth of resources, which may well make up for it. Or it drops all the favors, and afaik, returns 33.5 echoes for them.

1. I see. I'll most likely put it off for now and settle my other affairs first, in that case.

2. Will going to Zee or accepting A Polite Invitation remove non-discardable cards?

Thanks for the reply!

Since you can already enter the Nadir, the only reason to go for the Cinder is to have it in your collection, so if you want to you can go for that, selling it to the revolution gives a nice amount of echoes and increase in the liberation of night doesn't do anything anyways, so why not help us wi...so it's a much better deal than selling it to the Bazaar, I mean, what would Bazaar do with those anyways?

I have sided with the Secular Missionary and now have no storylets concerning the Cave of the Nadir. Do I need to wait until luck would have it and I acquire an eyeless skull? Will that produce the next step in the story?

I just got to the Empress's Court. However, I don't see it on the map - can I go back if I travel elsewhere? If so, how? Or am I supposed to stay here until I finih everything I want to do? If I left, would I have to go through the Duchess to get here again? I don't want to start on these storylines if they'll reset as soon as I want to go duel some black ribbons or whatever else.
