Delicious friends, the Exceptional Story for July is here!
The discovery of a singular moth prompts a journey to Tanah-Chook, a tomb-colony with ancient roots. Assist an Ebullient Undertaker in her final duties. Investigate what befell the Third City's revolutionaries. And learn the fiercest complaint of the dead.
All Things Must End is the second story in the Season of Ruins, and was written by Olivia Wood and designed by Caolain Porter. This season, experience three stories involving the cities that fell before London. You can begin each from the Season of Ruins: Tormented Dreams card.
At the end of the season, players who have completed all three will take a step further, unlocking bonus content concerning the Manager of the Royal Bethlehem Hotel, and the thing that has taken roost in his oldest dreams.
Editing and QA: Chris Gardner, Cash Decuir and James Chew.
Art by Tobias Cook.
EXCEPTIONAL FRIENDSHIP
In addition to a new, substantial, stand-alone story every month, Exceptional Friends enjoy:
- Access to the House of Chimes: an exclusive private member's club on the Stolen River, packed with content
- An expanded opportunity deck: of ten cards instead of six!
- A second candle: Twice the actions! 40 at once!
Finishing all three stories in the Season of Ruins will make you eligible for an additional opportunity, to follow.
If you want to keep an Exceptional Story beyond the month it’s for, you must complete the related storylet in the current Season’s card throughout London. This will save it for you to return to another time.

I'm on the ship to Tanah-Chook now. I'm not sure what it will be like, but something about it makes me think it will be beautiful and pleasant and generally swell!

So far this story has what is unironically my favorite thing in Fallen London: delicious, delicious flavor text and exploration. I'm also not a Tomb-Colonist junkie, but I'm really enjoying getting to know a bit more about some of them.

I haven't quite finished the story yet - waiting for some actions so I can finish off (what I think are) the last few things - but this has been great in so many unexpected ways! I certainly hadn't been clamouring for more stories about the Tomb Colonies, but it's been great in terms of meaningful RP choices and provides some insightful and really quite humanising glimpses into the lives of the bandaged, with just enough important "lore" implications to get my brain a-buzzing. Other people's mileage may vary, but I felt that there was enough content in Tanah-Chook to avoid the meandering between plot-points feeling dull, or like padding.
I'm sure I'll be back with more to say in a while when I manage to finish, but I'm extremely happy with this story!
EDIT: Thought I'd just add thoughts here instead of posting again. This has cemented itself, extremely handily, as one of my favourite Exceptional Stories, for all the reasons mentioned down- and upthread. Plus, it was very interesting to roleplay this one as someone who's been Scorched by Sun! Loving this season so far.

Just finished it. One of my absolute favorite exceptional stories of all time. Top three, without a doubt. To try and list individual elements that I liked would take up pages because I liked every single element of the story, but let's run down the top five, in no particular order:
- The Undertaker
- A new permanent location to visit
- Beautiful and extraordinary choices about death, framed in a way that both poses the questions as philosophical ones and as in-setting practicalities at the same time.
- Another way to flip off the Judgements, which is my character's main goal in life.
- The final choice, especially the third option. It's so beautiful!
Olivia and Caolain I love you both!!! <3 <3 <3

How does SUnless Sea relate to this? I just started playing so it's something that comes up latter in a storyline there? If it's not much of a bother, could you PM it to me why? So as to not clutter the thread.
Tanah-Chook is an island you can discover, but can't dock at or do anything with. It's just... there. Leaving you wondering what it's about.
And now you can know!

But... what is the Far Country? Apart from an awful place to be, that is.
[spoiler]
The far country is where people go when they properly died (at least in the Neath). If you have completed all three exceptional stories of the Family Ties season the seasonal tie-in involves the Boatman taking you (alive) on a trip down there. You can either opt to have a friendly talk with him where he cryptically explains some of the Neath's secrets, or you can have him row within view of the far country, which he is very reluctant to do, shuddering when he things about the place.
If you chose the latter option you get to see an island filled to the brim with people that stand so close that there is barely room for anyone. There is no obvious source of distress, but all of them are screaming and begging you and the boatman to take them away from there, even pleading to be given to the Brass Triremes of Hell to row (which in itself is generally considered a fate worse than death, ironically) if it will get them away from the far country, a few will even jump into the water to try to swim for the Boatman's boat where he will wack them with his oar and sail away again.

With regards to Frost-moth lore....
[spoiler]Theres a card in the Cave of the Nadir that mentions it as well, should you pick the option of "Rebels that Will Not Rise". This is part of why I love LOVE this ES, because I always wanted a follow-up on it. Effectively, in the Nadir there are the tombs of fifty-five Revolutionaries from the Third City, interred there because "they would have made their republics in the Tomb-Colonies. It was not allowed of them" or something like that. When the Ebullient Undertaker mentions the Revolutionaries that recruited her back in the old days disappearing? I'm almost 100% sure it's referencing these folks. Anyways, the first time you come across it one of the husks will break open and a frost-moth (Complaisant Frost-Moth) companion will join you, lending more evidence to the idea that they emerge from old tomb-colonists who do not end up in the Sanitarium or final death elsewhere.
[/spoiler]
This story was great. And Aj Tenamit Itzamatul is closer to canon at last!

I went with the Surface answer after hesitating quite a bit, but I thought "when my time comes, I'd rather have a grand, dramatic ending... it would make for a good epilogue to the epic of my life down here!"
So the Undertaker's precise answer really took me by surprise! 
She instantly made it to the top ten of my favourite people in the Neath, and I've only known her for a few days...

She always answers too quickly, agreeing with you. Personally I think he Tomb Colonists have found something else, perhaps a way to the far shore without dying.

Thank you for the profile link, ihluh! 
suinicide: Interesting idea. Personally, I interpreted it like she just can't make up her mind, but is not admitting that to herself. Therefore she'll quickly agree with whatever you suggest, and then convince herself it's what she wanted all along...

One of my favorite ES stories. Probably on the top three, as someone here put it.
Really liked the atmosphere. The change of scenery.
A new location!
The new, expanded lore on "true death", connecting with that mysterious other side we saw at the end of Family Ties.
Finally the pieces went into place regarding the final options for Tomb-Colonists (Moths vs. Grand Sanitarium). Guess the lore was always there, but I could not build the correct picture.
Excellent, excellent story.
Thank you!

Regarding returning to Tanah-Chook, it says
[And finally, if you have a ship you will be able to return to Tanah-Chook and explore it at your leisure. You will not see the Undertaker again, though.]
This is my first exceptional story and I really liked it. I'm at an awkward precipice in the game where I'm not quite a POSI but I've completed pretty much everything available to me, so I really welcomed the new content. Despite her creepy portrait, I was quite enamoured with the Undertaker.

I'm back from the rebel Tomb-Colony and waiting for the epilogue card, and may I say: what an absolutely lovely group of people. The Undertaker was a sweetling, and I wish her well. I've learned a great deal about human anatomy, why Tomb-Colonists are so athletic, tea, and the after-after-afterlife of the Neath. And grand schemes are at work, and I hope it stays fine for them. What an excellent story!

Excellent story, I was especially interested in the lore about the far country, something that have been slightly haunting me ever since the story of the trip with the Boatman. But while an Emergence doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world this story just confirms why immortality is my character's foremost ambition, and why I am so glad for my Destiny.
It is probably just a coincidence but I find it interesting that a subtle theme for both these stories have been insects (or arthropods to be precise) with sorrow spiders in the last and frost moths in this one. Fingers crossed for something scorpion or scarab related in the Second City story, given their influence in ancient Egypt.

I am a bit backed up as far as exceptional stories go, so Heaven knows when I'm going to get to play this, but I just wanted to show my appreciation for the moth-related preamble. I hope there are yet more moths in the main part of the story.

The Most-Moth is the most mothy of moths.
Also I think it's more closely related to tyrant-moths than frost-moths. Although those could just be bigger cousins.

I believe there's some information about it you can uncover during a stay in the Tomb-Colonies during your scandalous exile, but it's been a good while since I was there so I might be wrong.
Pretty sure I've seen more of the scandalous exile content than the renown-based Tomb-Colonist content by now, so my guess would be that either it's an exile thing that requires some fairly finicky prerequisites or it's high-renown content.
The highest renown item is one of these moths actually. It's the content I remember in particular.
I think that some of the dreams of dead men hint at it, but it's the only explicit mention I remember that I am positive is outside of Exceptional Story content. I want to say maybe there's something in one of the Ambitions that I don't have, but I could be wrong. There are two Emergences in Sunless Sea as well, one in normal and one in Zubmariner.

Overall a good story, and it fleshed out a few more bits of Fallen London's capricious metaphysics; focusing on the tomb colonists as central characters rather than through hints and allusions also added some needed flesh to their existence. The carousel mechanic was also well done and not cumbersome or very repetitive (and I enjoyed some of the associated storylets quite a bit, particularly the gymnasium). Overall very good, my only complaint was a I wish it had lasted just a bit longer... but if all a story leaves me wishing for is that it hadn't had to end, that's hardly faint praise. This season is progressing nicely.

Well, I got stuck in a challenge to pick between Subtle and Daring and I had 15 in both. Gained no daring but Subtle went down to 14. This is, as always, total crap. I worked up to 15, why should I be actually forced to lose 15 in one or the other?

Third City Revolutionaries?
THIRD CITY REVOLUTIONARIES!
I haven't started the ES yet but thank you Failbetter this was everything I could have hoped for when talking Third City! From that one bit in the Nadir, the lore about them has tantalized me! I even themed the Reactionary Tomb-Colonist from last year around the concept!

It's only a couple of lines.
Edit: Darn. Scooped.
The thing that emerges in Zubmariner is referred to as a "Most-Moth." I was wondering whether this was the same sort of thing as a Frost Moth.
This is true, but it is an emergence and it is a moth... I assume they're at least related. But the way Tomb Colonists talk, moths can be more awesome based on people's lives, so maybe it is just the most awesome of moths?

Just finished this ES a couple of days ago, and found it delightful. I really enjoyed exploring Tanah-Chook at my own pace, and the Ebullient Undertaker was charming. There was also a lot of intriguing hints about the Far Shore and the Third City. Best of all, like Flint this ES unlocked an entirely new area to explore again at my leisure.
(Also, I just got back from the Tomb-Colonies to check out the new opportunity card that's been added to the deck there. It's quite useful.)

I just finished this ES tonight. It struck me as very beautiful, but very sad, in how it probes what one can do if one is dying, very, very slowly. I also love the idea of having added Tanah Chook to the places on the Zee that I can visit (my major reason for buying ES at this time, really).

I really loved this Exceptional Story, and also how it permanently unlocked an area. On that note, I think there is a bit of an oversight: the post captain is supposedly getting reassigned by the end of the Exceptional Story, but when you return on your own ship he is still there, again for the last time. That storylet should be locked and hidden with completion of the Exceptional Story, since it is completely impossible to get back there without having a way out anyway.

There was kind of one, if you say 'I plan on never dying' or something to that effect.
[spoiler]To which the Undertaker replies 'sure, okay, whatever, but what would you do if you were me?'[/spoiler]
Yeah, I know (and took this option :-)).
But this was generic. I would have like to see a specific option based on character possessions (i.e. Cider) or qualities (i.e. Destiny)
Or even how about an option for Seekers saying: "I won't have to deal with getting old, since I'll be going NORTH". There are many possibilities.

What a lovely story! Passing the time in the Republic, learning of the ways of the dead and what they do to pass time was great! I did my best to help the Undertaker and the people perform their task and I decided for the Emergence ending, after I tried the Immortality one. And I was happy with the result, she deserves to defy those that so rudely relieved her from her position!
Haven't seen the epilogue yet, but I already know the new location made it worth it.

hey! there's, a bug in my story. When I finish the first round and the ship brings me back to london, as soon as I try to sail again through the story in spite, it throws me back to the departing option again and deposits me in watchmaker's hill. I also sent a bug to the e-mail address.

Still waiting on the epilogue card, but gosh, what a surprisingly sweet story. Super excited to have a new place to stop off for a while when I'm wandering aimlessly around the Unterzee, too, definitely going to be spending some more time in Tanah-Chook in the future.
Speaking as someone who's been playing intermittently for ages but only recently started seriously engaging with the premium content, is the origin of frost-moths new information, or have I just not come across it in the past?

Oh, you're right, I do remember that. It's been some time since I played Sunless Sea, maybe I'll run a new game to refresh my memory. It seems to incubate similarly though... and we don't really know how someone can decide to moth out instead of the alternative. Perhaps they are merely cousins that need a dying person to carry on.

Pretty sure I've seen more of the scandalous exile content than the renown-based Tomb-Colonist content by now, so my guess would be that either it's an exile thing that requires some fairly finicky prerequisites or it's high-renown content.

Uhhh, after looking at some stuff, I think it's referenced during exile events, but never actually explained, leaving you completely in the dark about what's being discussed among the colonists unless you're already aware of what it is.

By high-renown Tomb Colonist stuff, I assume we're talking about the 40 renown item...

The thing that emerges in Zubmariner is referred to as a "Most-Moth." I was wondering whether this was the same sort of thing as a Frost Moth.

I'm really pleased we got a story about age and death. I do like those. Well, I went with the Surface as well since I'd like a clear-cut ending. This pleased me for a good thirty seconds...then I realized I'd just end up in the Far Country which appears to be the Tube during rush hour. What even is the point in death if things never actually come to an end. Well, at least I can go looking for my grandfather while this bridge is hopefully getting built.

I'm currently exploring Tanah-Chook after having my final conversation with the undertaker, and am having a grand old time of it. The place seems decently profitable, especially for pre-POSI characters; I'll stay a while longer and figure out the most efficient carousels. Between the nice rewards and slow but cheap menace reduction, I may well find myself coming back to this place once in a while when London's worn me down.
My only quibble is that I went straight to the customs officer without interacting with the fisherman, and after my first meeting with the undertaker there was a fisherman greeting me outside. It would have been nice to see the customs officer again, instead of this complete stranger.
edit: how much Approaching Journey's End does zailing to Tanah-Chook require?

I'm in the process of evaluating the Ways of a Small Republic carousel and the possible routes. I have returned to London and am unsure if my records are accurate. Can anyone still at Tanah-Chook check the time requirements for "Pick up the page..." at the market and "Pilfer the book..." at the library?

Now that the election is over, I finally got around to completing this.
This was a lovely story. A really nice blend of characters, location, and lore. It felt both intimate and personal, while at the same time introducing theological and metaphysical mega-issues (life after death, etc.).
Things I particularly liked:
- New permanently-available location
- Undertaker - great character
- Lovely lore about the Tomb-Colonists: their day-to-day life, their philosophies, and metaphysical implications.
- Nice time-of-day mechanic - provides variety, yet easy to follow
What I would have liked to see added:
- When asked by the Undertaker what path I'd choose for myself, it was unfortunate not to have an option based on having Cider (though I understand not wasting dev time on content which will only benefit a handful of players). Some of the Destinies could also have been used here (e.g. not planning to die, since I aim to become a Master / move to Parabola / etc.).
Overall I rate this pretty high among the Exceptional Stories. Full (subjective) relative ranking below:
[spoiler]
Excellent:
- Lost in Reflections
- Cut with Moonlight
- Hojotoho!
- The Frequently Deceased
- The Waltz that Moved the World
- Flint
- All Things Must End
- The Century Exhibition
- The Twelve-Fifteen From Moloch Street
- The Persona Engine
- Where You and I Must Go
- The Web of the Motherlings
Good:
- The Pentecost Predicament
- The Calendar Code
- The Art of Murder
- The Chimney Pot Wars
- The Final Curtain
- The Heart, the Devil and the Zee
- Our Lady of Pyres
- The Clay Man's Arm
- Five Minutes to Midday
- Discernment
- The Haunting at the Marsh House
Meh:
- The Last Dog Society
- The Seven-Day Reign
- The Court of Cats

Did anyone pick the first choice for the ultimate selection, and can they share the echo or PM it to me?
EDIT: The ultimate selection in the Exceptional story itself, not the Epilogue.
[spoiler]I picked the third choice because I feel that it's the most suitable for my character, and because it's in my opinion the least worst of the three... But even then, I think that there's a certain nobleness in the other choices as well. For the first choice, the Undertaker would be reunited with her mentor too; I'm curious about her thoughts if we had picked that one.[/spoiler]

I must say, the entire story had me gripped from beginning to end, especially with the promise of yet more mysteries to uncover with the next ES. Which is why I must ask: My current character has unfortunately not been able to snag Web of the Motherlings in time. I have some Fate burning a hole in my pocket. Will I be able to purchase it and still enjoy the Seasonal Epilogue once the three stories have passed? I am quite fearful of having completely missed the opportunity by not unlocking it in the Seasonal Hub.

Yep! As long as you've played all 3 stories you can play the epilogue, it doesn't matter when you play them. So just pick up Web of the Motherlings when it's made available on the Fate page and you'll be fine.

This story made me sad because it reminded me how long my quest for Hesperidean Cider is taking.
By the way, how long does it take to get the epilogue card? I've burned through 30 cards already with no sign of it.

I'm greatly enjoying this so far.
The characters are so real and memorable, that they paint a very vivid image and I can actually picture my character talking to them; I'm so disappointed I didn't save up my action points, as exploring Tanah-Chook is so much fun and it's so great to be able to explore a new area at leisure.
This season so far is perhaps the best of all

One small question : usualy, when going to zee, we lose many attributes (for exemple, casing is set to 0).
Is it also the case in this exceptional story ? (I am not ready to lose 200+ of casing (so more than 20 000 CP of casing ...))

If you mean the first time visit where you don't go by your own ship, you don't actually set sail like a normal trip - you get teleported.
(And no, you cannot go by your own ship until you finish the story.)

Can anyone inform me as to the results if you choose to purge the notes and the undertakers response?

Just a head's up. The epilogue of the story is not, strictly speaking, the end of the story.
On a lark, I deliberately raised my scandal rank to levels unacceptable to London Society. One random result was that I learned something of goings-on in Tanah-Chook after my departure from its shores.

Do you mean the information from her mentor? If so, it says:
[spoiler]She leafs through the pile of notes from the Porter, lingering on one page – you cannot see which. "Ah. This is a little more succinct than usual." She doesn't look up. "I thank you for the thought, but not the act. She deserves that I know."[/spoiler]

Has anybody chosen the sanatorium ending for the Ultimate Question? I'd just like to read the Undertaker's reaction...
