October’s Exceptional Story is here!

The stolen soul of Salome. An exclusive Ladybones Salon where devils compare their collections. A man with a cosmogone birthmark.

Explore the trade in high-end souls and meet a Discerning Deviless in this story of love and infernal theology.

Play An Exceptional Story: Burglary of a Cartographer’s Estate to begin.

Discernment is by long-time contributor to Fallen London and Sunless Sea, Em Short.

The Discernment promotional image and character avatars are by Mark Penman, our first ever guest artist!

What’s an Exceptional Story?

Subscribers to Fallen London are called Exceptional Friends. In addition to a new, substantial, Exceptional Story story every month, Exceptional Friends enjoy:

• Access to the House of Chimes: an exclusive private member’s club on the Stolen River, packed with content!
• An expanded opportunity deck: of ten cards instead of six!
• A second candle: Twice the actions! 40 at once!

Note: To retain this story for playing at a later date, you must play through the related storylet in the House of Chimes. This will save it from the monthly changeover, on the last Thursday of the month.
