That would probably be the aunt card.
If you paid fate - chose a certain option - she'll let you try something she cooked up; lose and get wounds, win and get refreshes.

Between their years of experience and their highly physical, devil-may-care lifestyles (ideal for adventurous expeditions into dangerous lands), many Tomb-Colonists are in prime position to have a great deal of accumulated knowledge about the Elder Continent.

Logically speaking, why do the Elder Continent items use Favors: Tomb Colonists to upcraft? The Tomb Colonies are NORTH of London.

Gone NORTH. It's nice here.

The only 2 things that do that: Darkdrop Coffee(an item, not an Opportunity Card) and your Aunt after working with Mr Wines(an Opportunity Card which, if I'm not mistaken, costs Fate to unlock with the ending of the Aunt storyline).

The connected gain was removed after Criminals were converted to the Renown/Favours system. At first the option to sell information to criminals was removed entirely, but it was soon brought back to provide a way to sell casing to increase Shadowy.

Is there a reliable way to obtain Criminal favors outside of the opportunity cards?

But Criminals is the faction with the most options to get Favours (and if you're an Enforcer, you'll get one Favour each week as your weekly payment), if you have the right stats/items/companions to draw the cards:
Standard Frequency:
Infrequent Frequency:
Very Infrequent Frequency:

This list might help you speed up the process!
Item related cards:
Etiquette for the Ruthless
Overly alluring
The Life of Crime
The Tower of Knives: Difficulties at a Smoky Flophouse
What will you do with your Disappointing Marsh-wolf? which disables this no-pet card, but the frequency is better and not location related
Quality related:
A merry sort of crime (requires Criminal Renown 20)
Visit your acquaintance, the Repentant Forger (requires a visit to the prison)
Burglary with the Master Jewel Thief (He's not an item!:P)
The Enforcer's reward
A riot in Spite! (there's an uncertainty if it's related to your Dangerous level)
Story related:
An opportunity for profit
A drink with the Cheery Man
An evening's zailing
I'll just add this anyway:
The Alleys of London: the Criminals
EDIT: Hahahah, dov beat me to it with less than a minute! :p

Has anybody else noticed weirdness happening on the site? I've had two events today. I came back from lunch to find a gift had been "unpacked" in my absence (in other words, there was a message about its arrival and contents in email and on the messages tab), and just now, the card deck refilled to 10 spontaneously (no fate available, so not misclick, and I'd been working up connected: the widow in Spite, so nothing there that I know of and I wasn't doing any of the "away from base" things that refill the deck.(If such things exist. I never mentioned anything of the kind...)

I've had nothing like that. Do you know what was in the gift? (The only thing I can think of is the gift of great fate, which I believe is auto-accepted)

Are there any Fate-locked Clubs anywhere? I'm not fond of either the Parnetheum or the Young Stags, so I would gladly go in on any other options available.

According to the wiki a Direful Reflection has only two uses, one of them is fate-locked and the other is Impossible!. Is that correct, or is there any other reason I shouldn't just sell it now?
Sounds correct to me insofar as i haven't seen any in-game, fate unlocked, uses for them. I can't say whether it's worth holding onto them for the future, though.

i read a message at some point that said there was a free way to unlock Mahogany Hall- I think it was on the Ways Of card for it, in the fate option, to warn people off of buying it unnecessarily. It said you could unlock MH in an advanced shadowy story. But the Wars of Illusion story doesn't seem to actually unlock MH, just require you to go there- afaict you still need to take the the Unlock New Routes option from your Lodgings and spend a ton of random animals and stuff to get there? Is there a free option somewhere I'm missing?

I'm guessing the message is telling you there's a free-as-in-doesn't-cost-Fate option, so you don't think you're buying an exclusive area. If you don't pay 5 Fate, you still have to "pay" for the unlock with in-game items.
If you really don't want to gather the materials, the Ways Of card also provides a one-time visit for 8 Surface-Silk Scraps.

Is there any reason why I can't zail to the Tomb Colonies when I'm not in exile due to scandal? Other than because the devs haven't made it an option to go there mind you.

This isn't a question so much as a suggestion. Have you considered bringing Keith Thompson on board to do a few sketches for Fallen London? He's was the artist behind the alternative history Great War novel Leviathan, and in my opinion he was on of the best parts of the book. I was looking through some of his character sketches recently and it struck me that some of his Victorian period artwork would work almost perfectly in a Fallen London setting. He has this dark otherworldly take on the era which I just love.
I realize this collaboration may not be possible because of financial reasons or the fact that his artwork tends to be more detailed than you can fit in a computer game avatar. Perhaps he could do promotional work? Anyway even if you don't use this idea you should still check him out just for the fun of it at http://www.keiththompsonart.com/
Ps. I think his HAVELOCK OLIPHANT, ESQ. perfectly captures my character.
