One thing that could be tripping your progress is if, at the end, you search the lair for treasure instead of bringing proof of the rat's death to the dept.

Just finished getting 77 First City coins for Heart's Desire. Is talking to the Manager in A state of some confusion the next step? Thanks.
Don't go to A State of Some Confusion to meet the manager - you can meet him, but you won't be in, er, a suitable state of mind to talk to him properly.
However, if this is your first time gathering First City coins, you are probably not at that stage yet. Meeting the manager comes later - have you checked the Flit and talked to the Topsy King? Have you checked the Palace and the Docks?

There is a female devil. I believe it uses the same quality though, and possibly starts off with the same letter? ( I think you choose which devil to be with later, though its been a long time)
Edit: If you have an intimate of devils: 1, and a persuasive between 9-39, it starts with a card called "A dubious favour". But it does use the same quality as the male devil, so even if you miss that one, she will still pop up.

What benefit, if any, is there to Renown with various factions? It seems to be a millstone more then anything else.
Above 5- which is where it stops being a millstone- there are no more penalties for renown. between 0 and 5, yes, renown only reduces the number of favors you can get in the carnival- but once you move past that, there are rewards, both real and ones with sarcasm quotes, for faction renown. In addition, past those five levels of renown, there are no rewards for having low renown.
Criminals: Currently provides a way to overcap steadfast at cost of heartless and favors once you reach renown 15 and favors 7. in addition, hitting renown 20 adds a card that gives either 4.4 echoes in prisoner's honey for 1 criminal favor or gives a criminal favor, your pick.
Docks: provides a way to overcap subtle at cost of forceful, and at Renown:20 a source, for 2000 prisoner's honey and 10 echoes, of either A) 1 whirring contraptions, or, more rarely, B) 300 phosphorescent scarabs.
Rubbery men: This is where the meat is, and it's likely to be retroactively applied in a similar way to previous and future renowns. Three unique items, which i shall not name. the first one, availible at renown 10 and favors 3, is just unique and interesting, but the second, renown 25 and favors 5, is the best persuasive companion in slot- not counting the profession equips or fate equips- and the third, at renown 40 and favors 7 [but fatelocked, in this instance], which is best non-profession item in slot for persuasive weapon. It's also added to extant and popular fate content [flute street], rather than requiring a payment of fate on its own. If this is done for previous factions, getting the best gear setups in the game will require renown.

I could be wrong, but I think that's referring to a specific rat over in your Lodgings . . .
Probably not. When I go to the Dept. of Menace Eradication, I get the following choice : 'Make your name! Contract: a Worryingly Large Rat'. (I did check my Lodgings, just in case. Nothing there. Should this happen at one specific Lodging? I have keys for the Flophouse and the Rooms above a Bookstore.)
Let me try a different question. How do I earn the first point in 'A Name Scrawled in Blood'?

You don't have to enter a state of some confusion. You need to raise nightmares to 5, and wait for the undiscardable card to show up.

You have to complete the University content to access Flute Street but either ending will give you the opportunity to do so.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Is there some mythological reason I'm not aware of for hell to be associated with brass?

Skinnyman, does anything change if you play the options on the Unfinished business card? I'm assuming you have the Admirer of beauty quality already.)
I did play an option on the Unfinished business card and lost Seduction: Artist's Model quality. Now I'm left with An Admirer of Beauty - Beautiful Company and Seduction: Artist's Model 2. Now I'll just wait and see if the options change on the Unfinished business card or a new one pops.
Meh, even if I said I won't engage in love affairs with NPCs, she did manage to seduce me! 
EDIT: The Artist's Model card unlocks when you do NOT have Seduction: Artist's Model quality even if the card's unlock text mentions this: "You unlocked this by not having any Seduction: a Rising Artist's Model".
Now, back to grinding!
