Okay, so I've been looking for some specific information regarding the Merchant Venturer. If I complete all his quests, go to the Avid Horizon and pass through (just got the Searing Enigma needed), will my game simply end? I know you get a Horizon Codex, but does the game regard passing through as a loss (i.e., you get a lineage quality)? Been wanting to due a no-death family for a while now, but since it doesn't seem to reward any trophy qualities I figured I'd to know first.

This is incorrect. I maxed out Mirrors and Veils on my last captain (base 200), and my current captain started with 125 for both stats.

I believe the starting amount for each stat passed down is the sum of the base 25, any legacy bonuses, and half the previous captain's stats over that amount.
For your example, the new captain would then start with 125 Mirrors: 25 base + 25 legacy + (200-50)/2 = 125
For comparison, if a captain passed down 200 Pages with both Pages legacy items: 25 base + 35 legacy + (200-60)/2 = 130
In CaptainIglo's original example, it would still be 80 starting Veils: 25 base + 25 legacy + (110-50)/2 = 80

You know what happens if, just before leaving a London safely delivered over by the Dawn Machine, with the Merchant Venturer safely abroad for one last journey, Mr Sacks has the unmitigated hilarity to demand a favour?
You get a Master taken North, that's what.
That was a lot funnier than the FL equivalent.
