Imagine my shock, and amazement this morning when I logged on to discover that at long last, the content wall had been lifted!
Onward Lads! To the Card game of our Hearts desire!
Check your lodgings for the quest continuation.

I advise bringing a bottle of Fourth City Airag with you to Polythreme.

Does anyone have any advice as to the quickest way to stock my rather insufficient cellar?
I would reccomend that you play the velocipede squad a few rounds, using the riot option to gather Broken Giant, then trade 25 Broken Giant for 5 cellars, and wait for the card to buy the Airag. Am I the only one who thinks it's cruel that purchasing the Airag gives yoou 30 First City Coins you so desperately needed ages ago, and the only thing requiring the Airag is Hearts Desire?

It is the duty of man to aid his fellows.
All you need is the Airag; your reward is the wonderful tapestry of words weaved by the Failbetter staff. No one can tell me Heart's Desire is boring.

At least hunting the Vake is straightforward. There's a Vake. You're going to kill it and mount its head on a plaque so that you can tell hunting stories over drinks at your club. The stories may involve militant nuns and face-stealing monsters, but those are just garnish to the tale of how you hunted the Vake.
There may be more to that. I haven't played this latest installment, but before that, we got hints of how a Master is somehow involved.

Also happy to help with nightmares, send sips of Cider, and plant battle.

No reward is fine for me though, mostly because I never expected any reward until you reach the very end of the ambition anyway, although it might be nice if we could get a single token Extraordinary Implication / Appalling Secret for each step as the revelations themselves are quite Extraordinary. I am very happy with the lore though.
The grind still feel kinda weird to me.
King: Thanks for the gift- Me: Hang on, I need to run out of your place to fascinate some other clay men in Polythreme and then run back to you to resume the conversation. King: Walk with me- Me: Hang on, I need to run out of your place to fascinate some other clay men in Polythreme and then run back to you to resume the conversation. King: So you now under- Me: Hang on, I need to run out of your place to fascinate some other clay men in Polythreme and then run back to you to resume the conversation. King: Have this coin- Me: Hang on, I need to - actually, I don't. Thanks!
Next time in Heart's Desire! Manager: So how goes the trip? Me: So I went to Polythreme and *run off to grind* Manager: And...? Me: And the king said *run off to grind* Manager: What did he say? Me: He says that you are *run off to grind*
As for coins.... I think I got like, at least 150 of them. *whistle suspiciously* edited by Byron Man on 5/8/2012

Well, I'm thrilled that Heart's Desire is moving forward again. But I have to say, this new episode is immensely sad.
Between this and the previous player's needs, I'm increasingly convinced I ought to let someone else win the game. There are some very old wrongs to be set right, it seems.
