A few days ago I managed to acquire a second bucket of Neathy snow. I can't remember now how I got it - perhaps from the new honey dens in Veilgarden? In any case when I went to investigate what I could do with my second bucket it gave me the option to discover my destiny. The options are delicious *shivers*.
Has anyone else discovered this option? What destiny did you choose? I am torn between a destiny between stars and a destiny in an imagined wilderness.

Bit of rambling on my part ahead! So, I dug out the deck of cards I got from the Silver Tree Kickstarter, with the idea of integrating them into a tabletop game. Looking through them, I realised "Heeyyyy, wait a minute - all of the Destinies are in here!" The Revelation, Authority, The Instrument, The Memory... and what's the very last card I turned over while looking through? Passion. So, basically, imagine a grown man shaking a playing card and shouting "WHAT ARE YOUR SECRETS?!"

Different destinies have different requirements, largely quality- rather than item-related. The Parabola-related branches require either experience in the Wars of Illusion or martial alliances in Diocesan Intrigue. The Masters of the Bazaar branch is only open to Scholars of the Correspondence who are also members of Mr Pages' Reliables. Most individual destinies have no requirements, once you've unlocked their branch - the only exceptions I can think of are one requiring Acquaintance: The Captivating Princess, one requiring Committed, and the SMEN one. And whatever Passion's requirements are.

I will add that the Passion destiny is at the thematic heart of the entire Fallen London mythos, and it can be found through Glimpse of the Future, without clever access codes or other metastrategies. It just has an extremely stringent precondition.
That's pretty much all there is to go on for Passion. Alexis being cryptic, obtuse and confusing? never

Could involve creating your own powerful love story, somehow. Giving the Bazaar what it truly needs?

I think the bazaar and love stories are definitely the thematic heart of Fallen london. Maybe ti involves to marry oneself to the Bazaar?

Is it possible to change the Torment destiny without losing Destin's?
Can anyone confirm/deny this yet?
Looks like I can... the answer is *NO*. You lose that as of now twice-non-existing thingymabob along with the noose. :/ ...

I find myself wanting to see the final implementation of the destiny mechanic, mostly because presumably there'll be one. The destinies I received were not at all what I had in mind for my characters, especially given one was intended to Seek and was a little slow.
