More like the Nadir is rewarded by lots of money. The End of Battles gives 62.5 echo items, one card gives Dramatic Tension for the Collection of Curiosities grind (two cards with Long-Lost Daughter), and lots of other cards give semi-valuable items.

I do. But I'm from Russia and I thought it might be caused by struggle of our government against Telegram. If someone else experiences that, however, it shouldn't be so
My question: does anyone know, why was Renown built as a standrard quality, with change points, while it would be much more logical to be a one-step - one-level quality, like Terms As Governor etc with each conversion of 7 Favors bringing in 1 level of Renown?

Wojciech, me too, poor we.
And about your question: current system makes building Renown more flexible as you may spend less than 7 Favours per action until you are at level 15. Don't know if one would do that, but one may.

I can think of at least two reasons. At least one of the faction renown reward items is located on the river the boatman sails on, and one of the paths to becoming a Paramount Presence requires you max out the quality gained by playing chess with the Boatman.
There are probably other reasons I can't immediately call to mind, but those are two reasons I personally have had to go there.

The lore regarding the boatman is also interesting, particularly as regards his agreement with the Revolutionaries. Who IS Charon anyway?

What is a spirifer? wrote:
A spirifer, strictly, is anyone who trades in unlicensed souls. But the word usually means the villains who prey on poverty and desperation, kidnapping children to relieve them of their immortal souls, wheedling them from gin-soaked paupers or snatching them from the mouths of drowned men.
So, yeah, technically, dealing with the Blind Bruiser makes you a spirifer - but most Fallen Londoners, when they use the term, are specifically thinking of those who directly deal in soul-taking.

I recently solicited a duel I knew I would lose because I wanted to increase my dangerous and get my wounds to zero before heading back to Venderbight. (This may or may not have been a particularly sensible strategy, objectively, but the time before I forgot to deal with my wounds before I went away to get shot at, and I do like playing chess with the Boatman.)

Thx for your response, string!
A lore-related question: I have sort of befriended a Minister of Enigmas, and he says something enigmatic while we have a tea:
[spoiler]"Sad, to see it all wind down. But they served their purpose. We should be so lucky."[/spoiler]
What does he hints on? Seeds in a hookah? But this snippet is gave as valuable piece of revelation. Does he means a more subtle subject?

I suppose they wanted Renown to get more difficult as the number climbs. It is a little more granular with change points (for some one-shot stories to give them out) than straight levels.
Of course, the downside is that CP is less than easy to check for things you grind slowly.

You're correct about bigger granularity, but the amount of it feels negligible, frankly.
In total it takes about 43 Favour >> Renown conversions to get to 40 (which is really the maximum level there's any gameplay reason to go to).
I don't think changing from 43 to 40 would create a significant difference, and the system would look slightly more neat.

I mean yes, of course Nadir is a rewarding place, yet a lot of cards does only stat damage (and a creepy thrill), and it may count as 'menacing' of sorts.

Per the most knowledgable candle around, he's from the Knife-and-Candle game. Apparently--I love this--you had to interact with Mr. Eaten on Twitter to get him, or to kill another player in K-and-C who had one.
I am *dying* to know what role-play gymnastics people went through to justify that...

The place is b---dy full of harm, mostly rewarded by rich text only. I did 3 journeys on my own for the clarity of experience and then relied on wiki card list wholeheartedly.
