Feel free to RP it up. It'll increase one of your meta-qualities, and I think gives you some italic text like "this may be the key to your future," but currently there are no long-term effects from this storyline. It's just flavor about what lies down the road for your character.
Edit: I should mention, though, that you do need to side with the Bishop if you're interested in getting "The Instrument" as your destiny.

They're mentioned occasionally, and telegram messages appear in Sunless Sea once or twice, but we haven't seen anything terribly detailed about them.

Question:
I've picked up that the most Echo-effective way to accumulate Tribute with the Court of the Wakeful Eye is to buy Winsome Dispossessed Orphans from the Bazaar and then give them as Tribute. So should I be selling things the Court accepts (eg. Correspondence Plaques, Magnificent Diamonds) or items that can be converted to those things (eg. wines to make Cellars of Wine, scraps to make Puzzle-Damask) to get Echoes, and then use the Echoes to buy Orphans? Or should I just use up all that inventory for Tribute first, before selling other inventory to buy Orphans?
Is there a discussion thread for this?

An unexpected side effect of my goal of writing 77 Gothic Novels has been that I've built up a rather alarmingly large quantity of Fascinating. I'm not quite sure what to do with it, and Prof. Logan is getting rather tired of holing herself up in the Royal Bethlehem to avoid love-crazed fans. Any suggestions?
There's a storylet in the Empress' Court called "Disporting with the servantry" that appears when you have Fascinating. You can spend it on the cook and the butler to reduce Wounds and Scandal respectively.

The Greyfields 1882 to Morelways 1872 to Strangling Willow Absinthe are worth 4 EPA for each step. Greyfields 1879 to Broken Giants is 3.33 EPA, and I would recommend holding off on that one until you have enough Greyfields 1879 that you wouldn't regret the trade if it turns out that you need large amounts of that vintage for, say, bribing dock workers during an election. Because if you run out, you may have to trade for more, making the trade for Broken Giants a rather unprofitable one.
