The text indicates there's a number of other names in their catalogue that aren't up for sale, so presumably they'll update the roster with new names every year or so, like the Incarnadine Robe.

Also, perhaps the equivocation of the coin and the gunpowder with the devilbone die and the scintillack indicates that they're going to be added to the game elsewhere in the future? I know something like this was already done with Flint, where a bunch of little items like stygian ivory and royal blue feathers were added as minor rewards in that story first, then distributed throughout new content over the next few years.

One thing I found really interesting was the Justificande Coin, as I only know of one reference to it from a Ambition teaser.

I feel like the Justificande Coin might be an item that a Heart's Desire player will have to get to progress, so someone who got if from the trance dream can jump past that step. It shares an icon with First City coins, the poker chips used in the Marvelous. A further connection is that First City coins are gifted in sets of 30, a reference to Judas trading Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The source and the stamped message "ONE DAY YOU WILL FORGIVE" makes me imagine that it's some kind of religious relic related to Judas' betrayal. If someone has an echo of that option, I'd love to see exactly how the conversation went down. I have no idea how this would work in the Marvellous, but that seems the most likely ambition its related to.

You were probably expecting something more decisive. I expect the Bishop was as well. Which is why that was not the approach that was taken.

How many profession-specific dreams are there for each of the (four specific) professions? I.e. for the midnighter, is there only one branch in the Gracious Widow's dream that yields something different? I'm currently doing the completionist thing and trying to get all four professions plus potentially all possible storylets for each of the four potential partners. (That makes 12 or even 15-18 different tries, depending on the possibilities. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Each current dream-partner has one (and only one) specific profession-related option on a Profession path, second card.

So Midnighter has the Widow, Crooked Cross - the Bishop, Licentiate equals Cheery Man, and Monster Hunter goes to Jenny.

They're all on the wiki now, none best in slot but the three fate-locked companions each give a point in a different new quality, one of which is also boosted by the equipment reward for Ambition: Nemesis. The instructional note accompanying the qualities indicates that they will be useful in upcoming content. Presumably, this means endgame, post ambition content, if the ambition rewards are boosting them as well. Specifically, the Countess helps you with your mad science, the Captain helps you with political scheming, and Captain Whitlock helps you hunt monsters.

But what if it's about Nemesis?
