Honestly, I'm now at the Southern Archipelago and have no idea where to go. I went to the old sailor's house in London to get the mission brief but promptly forgot where the Pyres island was. Was it behind Mutton island? Am I supposed to go there?

There should be a storylet in your lodgings.

You need to head back to London to get there.

Edit: It might be accessible at other locations in London, but I found mine quite far down in the Lodgings - you still have to go through the zailing, but it'll lead you to your destination (it's literally the only one that appears, you can't go anywhere else, so you won't be able to get it mixed up or miss it in any way).

I am having a wonderful time with this story so far. I got hooked into this world through Sunless Sea, and seeing hints of the Dawn Machine and learning more about animescence (or aminescence? I note that this story is spelling it 'ami' but I believe SS had it flipped) is getting me pretty revved up. I had a memorable shock during SS when I lost the Brisk Campaigner due to the progression of her animescence, right when I started grasping the conversion economies well enough to prepare to get her the right fixes. Perhaps I am somehow hoping to redeem this slippery failure through this story... In any case, I am enjoying the slow reveals, the crisp yet gradual outlining of forms and factions and desires. It is very promising, and I wish I'd left myself more actions to burn through before starting it!

I'm enjoying myself- although I spotted a typo at the point where you scheme with the Abiding Wife -

"You've conspired with the Abiding Wife to sew dissent in the upcoming ritual."

If you don't mind, could you PM what option gave you the Element. I wouldn't want to miss to gain such a rare item in my playthrough (and it's good to know what one has to do to assist the Dawn).

I'm mostly in agreement with Robin-with one exception for just this installment in particular. I like the Dawn Machine a whole bunch and am pleased to have had an opportunity to advance its' hand just a little more, so I think this one will be the highlight for me of the whole set. Glory to the Machine. The Machine spins on.

I have but one potential regret: Did I make the right choice in telling the Visionary to remain with his flock? I remember Mr. Irons mentioned ages ago on Twitter he's stocking weapons in preparation for the Machine's advance, and besides-the Visionary seemed a little flaky beneath the fervor. So I thought it might be in the Machine's best interests to build s table foothold instead of extend its' reach beyond its' grasp.

I still got the Dawn Element. I hope that's a good sign.

I imagine that you've already achieved the ending and guessed which option gives you an Element.If not, now you know its easily guessable and at the end. The option I chose gained me an Enigma, and I agree with Robin, why even Hedonist gain?

Received a notification about nine minutes ago in my messages tab:

[spoiler] "The dust. The sun in your eyes. Everything changes. Everything stays the same. Moving."[/spoiler]

I've never seen this before and as I've just completed the story this felt like the right place to mention it and ask: Does anyone know what this is about?
