This may be a familiar story to many, which leads me to wonder why it is not mentioned on the wiki. (I can register an account here, but not at wikia, for some reason...)
Not yet being a POSI, as my Shadowy lags due to reluctance to pursue the theft-based questlines, I have been ping-ponging around London, working on various projects. Nightmares and Wounds are old friends, and I have never worried about Suspicion, but I noticed my Scandal kept rising. I found prayer, possibly, a slow way of reducing it, and, as I was looking for a Tomb Lion anyway, I decided to take my lumps and head for exile.
I checked the wiki aforehand to see what I might lose...it did not mention that I would lose any drawn cards I had saved. I had saved two, two Moods, which showed up back-to-back.
Sigh.
Congrats to the game for making a consequence feel consequential.
Update on return: Words can scarce express my pleasure, mixed with chagrin, at seeing those cards back in my drawn slots on my return from exile!

I'd recommend the social action to manage scandal, it is much better than the terrible prayer option, and it's good to make some friends for a variety of reasons. You could also use an alt, of course, but I find most players are happy to help out, especially once you have approached them with some other beneficial social actions (Gifts, coffee, the neath's mysteries and the like).

You get 4.5 echoes from the aforementioned philosophy association action though, or 1.5 EPA plus the scandal reduction. Church service gets you squat.

Yes. As far I know, the only way you can lose the cards in your hand would be to discard them yourself. Once you return to London, the cards will still be there, regardless of if you went overzees,were exiled, driven mad,etc.
Though I am curoius. When you died and/or went mad, why didn't you notice the cards left behind didn't disappear from your hand upon your return to London?

If you are ever in need of any assistance, do not hesitate to ask either of them. The second one is still finicky, though.

Ah. When I said Nightmares and Wounds were old friends, I should have said: Managing them is a familiar task. The former, mostly via Hyena, which drives up the latter, ha ha.
My main has yet to meet the ferryman, and hopes never to do so. (I have plans to start an alt soon, to explore all the content my cautious, curious , semi-moral main misses out on.)
