Christmas approaches, bringing questionable snow and hooded visitors. Stay in, and burn a candle with us!
The Fallen London Advent Calendar
From today until the 25th of December we'll be handing out advent treats via the Fallen London Advent Calendar.
Each window will give you a snippet of Yuley narrative, and something besides: trinkets, magpie-treasures, and occasionally, something rare.
Each will expire after a minimum of 24 hours; so collect them swiftly. If you’d like a daily reminder, follow us on Twitter.
Christmas Cards
Tell your friends you are thinking of them this festive season. (Don’t tell them what you are thinking of them.) Neathy Christmas cards are now available in four designs, with room for your own message!
Your stock of cards will be replenished weekly by Time, the Healer, from noon on the 2nd of December.
You need to be acquaintances with another player before you can send them a Christmas card. Attend to Matters of Society in your Lodgings, where you can send a calling card to a contact to make their acquaintance.
Finishing School Festivities
If you’ve played The Empress’ Shadow, a card will be available in Sinning Jenny’s Finishing School where your students can engage in the festivities.
Exceptional Merchandise
There’s some very special, limited-run merchandise coming before Christmas. In the meantime, our Spreadshirt shop has all of the print-on-demand apparel and accessories you could ask for: Individual of Mysterious and Indistinct Gender clothing, Correspondence and Dawn Machine hoodies, delicious mugs, pin badges and all sorts besides.

Praise be! Then infernal hat has been gotten rid of.
Also, is it just me or has there suddenly been a lot more responsiveness from staff in the forums? And I'm not just saying because they've addressed my personal complaining within just a few days: I've seen replies in several other threads, plus the news of the Ambitions has been dropped. It seems like our outcry regarding the forums being abandoned was taken to heart!

Now comes the real question - whether the Rat of Glory steals the Clandestine Candle.

Looking at the Dangerous items, I gotta love how a pillbox hat or a monocle makes you just as deadly as a protective iron hat or what could generously be described as Elder Continent steroids.

Hey, every hat owned by a player is a hat Virginia doesn't have in her wardrobe. Presumably, this is a bother to her!

For clarity, I meant art resources. The Clandestine Candle art is used in
[spoiler]smuggling in the Skies,[/spoiler]
so it's thematically connected to the FL use, but the item itself belongs to the Neath.

Here I was hoping that it would be another form of sustenance that I could actually craft from my lodgings.
A pity.

Not sure if it's new art or not, but I sure did appreciate it. And it's not their 10th anniversary yet.
