Delicious friends, the Exceptional Story for June is here!
What lies beneath London's streets? Take up your theodolite and find out! Delve into London's mysteries, uncover buried secrets and help a hidden society map the Fifth City.
The Bones of London is the first story in the Season of Embers, and was written by Gavin Inglis. This Season will consider how the Neath has changed the City, and the City the Neath. You can begin each from the Season of Embers card.
Editing, design and QA: James Chew and Mary Goodden.
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 Embers 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.

Does anyone have a good list of what happens for each option and what the rewards are? I see discussion as if everyone was aware of everything but no concrete info, so I'd appreciate a summary.
Rewards info that I've gathered so far:
[spoiler]- Betray the Society: +1 CP Connected: The Masters.
- Keep it: Map of Prelapsarian London (home comfort, Shadowy +2 Watchful +3), 1 Partial Map, 11 Intriguing Snippets, 1 Vision of the Surface, 1 Antique Mystery, Memories of Light*, Map Scraps*.
- Find an archive for it: (No idea what the rewards are for this one, anyone who played this option please fill us in.)
- Use it to encourage revolution: 1 Night-Whisper, 1 An Identity Uncovered, 1 Aeolian Scream, 4 Extraordinary Implications. (This option requires paying 6 London Street Signs)
- Hide its stories for others to discover: 1 Puzzling Map, several Touching Love Stories, Visions of the Surface*.
*) The number scales with how many Map Details you have. I have done "Keep it" twice so I know for sure it's the memories and scraps that scale. I haven't seen more than one result of "Hide its stories for others to discover" so I'm less sure about it, except for the visions which came in similarly big amount as the memories and scraps in the other ending.[/spoiler]

I found an archive for the map.
[spoiler]This seems to be the closest option to preserving it for the Perspicacious Surveyor / the Waterhouse Society. Given it's the obvious intent in the text that follows, and there appear to be a bunch of folk who would like to pick the option that best supports the Society, it's a shame that intent isn't obvious before clicking the button.[/spoiler]
I enjoyed this story. As others have said, it wasn't the most lore-rich, but I really liked getting to see snippets of how prelapsarian London fits into fallen London. I suspect it helps that I've lived in London for almost a decade, so could see hints of things that might not be obvious to someone who isn't as familiar with real-world London geography.

I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed by this story. It was just rather dull. Putting the map together wasn't that interesting, there was not much in the way of lore development, the stakes didn't feel very high, and the final choice was difficult not because it was a complex and interesting moral dilemma or anything, but rather because it didn't seem to matter all that much and the implications weren't quite clear and (as some comments in this thread demonstrate) the writer had his own ideas about what they meant that didn't align with the way reasonable players could interpret them.
Normally I make decisions based on roleplaying, but I honestly wasn't invested enough to be drawn towards any of the options (aside from not betraying the society) and so I chose the extra option I unlocked by having enough map progress to do so (partially on the admittedly specious assumption that it was probably a "better" option because you needed to perform better to have access to it) and ended up feeling disappointed and dumb for doing so (based on both the reward and the written description of my character's actions).
I don't understand why there wasn't an option to preserve the map, reconnect with your contacts in the Waterhouse Society, reform the organization and relinquish it back over to them (the "archive" option didn't seem to imply that). That would have been the option I would have chosen. I did not understand why a raid on their HQ would necessarily result in the entire organization disbanding.

[spoiler]January! You rapscallion! So the two options that align with the motives of the Society are to distribute the map among sympathetic citizens, or hand it over to the Council to keep in the Museum of Injustice? A tricky question. The Museum can take better care of it as an artefact, but, arguably, the knowledge it represents can be better seen and shared in the hands of the public. Ideally, we'd be able to duplicate the thing, and distribute copies.[/spoiler]

Finding an archive for it gives you a personal recommendation and a favor among revolutionaries. Kinda sucks, but whatever.

In the end, I chose to spread the word and incite revolution. See my profile for the echo; there were no unique items or major rewards beyond having done my part sticking it to the Masters.
But that is reward enough.

I enjoyed this ES greatly also. NOT because it has a lot of lore (it doesn't), and not even because of the writing. But the experience of playing the storylets felt wonderfully as though I really was out and about. mapping London one step ahead of the authorities. And I was happy with the ending I chose.

I absolutely loved this Exceptional Story. It has everything I could possibly ask for: a unique and lore-filled premise, a wide variety of gameplay mechanics, non-linear progression, excellent writing, and even a unique item to remember it by.
And it never felt unfair, either: players with a good knowledge of the Fifth City can tell which options might attract undue attention, and I noticed multiple sources of required items that would allow even brand-new players to have plenty of options. Storylets were denoted with information that ensured you would not misinterpret the action your character would take.
This is easily tied for one of my favorite Exceptional Stories in Fallen London.

It'll be released Sometime Soon - i.e. you're not missing anything, it'll be pretty obvious and difficult to miss when the season turn-in is finished and released.

I have to say I enjoyed this one. I wonder if this is perhaps related to those street-signs I keep getting from surprise packages? It's interesting to see how the revolutionaries find inspiration prelapsarian maps (not that these folk are necessarily revolutionaries). About the story in specific, I kind of wish the Calculating Heiress played more of a part in it; I'd be interested in interacting with someone who obsessively mapped out London for years. I also wish there was more of an indication as to what happened to the Waterhouse Society after the end of the story.
I wonder if this has any insights for the Mysteries tab? It does seem focused on prelapsarian London, after all.

I'm going to say it was an okay outing but not one of my favourites. Maybe the trivia is of some interest to players who actually are into what the story was about: figuring out the exact relation between surface and fallen London but personally I found the ES somewhat lacking in direction. We got a bit of a look into the Surveyor but I didn't feel like I've built a connection or that my decisions were personal the way they were in, say, All Things Must End. We got some snippets of lore but they felt neither like I was discovering eldritch secrets like some stuff from The Rat-Catcher nor did it give me the feeling I was engaging with everyday London life the way I did in The Heart, The Devil, and the Zee. If Exceptional Stories were interconnected more than they are (I know why they aren't but if) this could be an interesting buildup to something more, or it might be a fun way to have a brush with the revolutionaries for someone newer, or a way to support them for someone so aligned, but for me it lacked the hook to pull me in.

Same here, between that and a home comfort item, that seems quite rare (i still have none), it was disapointing.

I agree with you, Sir Fred. However, preserving the map--even privately as one of own assets--struck me as better than nothing, for at least in theory a subsequent ES could give an opportunity to make it more widely available. :-)

It's not bad, just normal in Echo value. You need 6 London Street Signs (worth 15E) to play that option and lose them after it.
...Perhaps I should clarify that in my post.

But I am a sympathiser, and given the amount of rare, unique, and/or extremely valuable stuff sitting in my inventory, my house is clearly a suitable safekeeping archive. And yet I:
1. Apparently hung the map in plain view; now that is not proper archiving, and is conductive neither to preservation of the fragile parchment nor to secret keeping of highly illegal contraband - in fact the fact that you can do this with zero consequences just plain doesn't make sense, unless you're willing to perform some advanced mental gymnastics about the Masters being fully aware but explicitly making an exception for you or something (possibly based on the very vague and frankly somewhat out-of-place mysterious benefactor encountered during mapping); and
2. Snobbed off the society: apparently they of all people aren't even aware I still have the map safe and sound. Which goes completely against what I wanted to achieve - in fact I would have been happy to host society meetups at my place, at least as a "temporary" measure (until they regroup at some point in the narratively-never-happening future).
In the end I did keep the map and just mostly ignored the result text, as it's so unfitting that it almost seems like some kind of mistake or misunderstanding that slipped past QC/review.

Yeah, no, I don't like that. No matter how much cartographical fun I had, I won't forget how bitter I feel about the story itself.
[spoiler]I already had problems with how bare-bones the story felt and how vague the final choices are about what will happen after, but after learning what the archive option actually is... nope. See, endings don't have to appeal to everyone, but when TWO of them benefit a faction that already gets attention every so often, there's a b____y problem imo.
Maybe I'm bitter because it was the only time your choice actually added something to the story. I also disliked what a jerk the character is in the ending where you keep the map for themself, while in my mind all that Leonard wanted to do was add it to his trove of secrets like a dragon hoarding treasures - I can't imagine him putting it on display in such manner, at all.
Talking about choices, the early choices regarding how you style your map was kind of cute, but it just turned silly when you choose to include deliberate inaccuracies in it. Surprising that it sounded they took my map at face value - how good is this society at mapping, actually? It definitely did no good to my opinion regarding them. I had expected someone to at least raise an eyebrow at it, what a shame that choice only affected literally one unimportant line.
And that brings me to another point: the Society felt severely lacking. The only interaction with them was very brief and after the raid they're just gone. Poof. No more. Also, the Surveyor and the Heiress (however brief her presence in the story was) sounded like they have more story to tell, but it's not there. The story ended before much could happen. So much missed potentials.[/spoiler]
Really, the only good things about this ES for me are the process of mapping the city and the possibility of getting a new expanded inventory item (though playing this story just for it isn't worth it).

I did like the mechanics in this ES, I love mapping out places, so having the chance to do so in FL really had me thrilled.
But now I'm stuck between ratting them out, keeping the map or hiding it. My character is quite against the Revolutionaries, since he is against the destruction of all lightsources.
I know ratting them out gives a Connected: Masters CP, keeping it gives you an item, but what about hiding the map?
Thanks ahead!

Enjoyed a lot of this ES. Definitely liked the concept, and trawling through hints of pre-Fall London was a lot of fun. From London myself and so it was especially interesting to see all the coded hints to places I know and have been to, and it was interesting to look at how the corruption and deliberate obscuration of London-as-it-was had impacted people and their identity.
But I have to echo that I partly wish there was a bit more development to the story itself. I think I'm probably being affected by the memory of last month's story there, and the similarly recent Pursuit of Moths -- both stories that I really enjoyed and were intensely character-focused in their choices and consequences. It's fine that other stories go off in a different direction than them, and I think going through the different areas of London and piecing together fragments fits in well with Fallen London's tone and mechanics; but it does have a feeling of 'go through this, repeat, make blanket final choice right at the end'. I liked the Scholar, and the interactions I had with her were fun, but I don't find myself as invested in this choice as I might be.
Well, perhaps it's just a case of different strokes.
If anyone has an echo for the archive choice, give me a shout. I'm torn between it and the 'hide stories' option (partially just because the latter has a special requirement). I assume the revolution option advances the Liberation?

Late to the party (as usual), but here are my thoughts in this one:
I wasn't excited about the story at first. But once you meet the Society hings got more interesting. After years of playing Fallen London I've gotten used to seeing all the altered names of places, so I got chills when I've read: "The names are strange: Knightsbridge, Elephant and Castle, Marble Arch. These are maps of London before the Fall." I was much more engaged from that point on.
I liked the various conversations with random characters around town, learning bits of old history of London from people's memories.
However, I had two significant problems with the story:
- It ended *really* abruptly. (Just: "Oh, BTW, this thing happened so the story is done - make a final choice").
- I did not like any of the end choices. As others have mentioned, there really should have been an option to either return the map to the Society, or alternatively make it clear that you're keeping it but letting them have access.
Personal ranking of all Exceptional Stories:

- Steeped in Honey
- Flint
- All Things Must End
- The Century Exhibition
- The Twelve-Fifteen From Moloch Street
- The Persona Engine
- Where You and I Must Go
- The Sinking Synod
- The Attendants
Good:
- The Murgatroyd Formula
- Lamentation Lock
- The Web of the Motherlings
- The Pentecost Predicament
- The Calendar Code
- The Rat-Catcher
- The Art of Murder
- The Chimney Pot Wars
- The Final Curtain
- The Bones of London
- 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
- The Pursuit of Moths
- Factory of Favours
Meh:
- Trial and Error
- The Last Dog Society
- The Seven-Day Reign
- The Court of Cats

I also chose to keep the map.

hmmm, there is something broken for this month exceptional story. I dont think it has a lock requiring you to be exceptional friend to start the story. I started it thinking it was the teaser storylet but result said I unlocked the ES.
Edit: I am not exceptional friend.

Did anyone take the ending choice that promises something "particularly rare and valuable"?
I don't really want to take this choice, but if the reward is especially unique I might consider it anyway. If someone knows, please pm me the result of this action.
