“All Devils are beautiful, in their own ways; even the ones that don’t remotely resemble people. But this one is beautiful in the specific way that a Renaissance marble is beautiful: something hard and eternal impersonating something pliable and fleeting.”
Verity is on the hunt for a particular soul, and she won’t take ‘no’ for an answer! Consort with devils high and low as you track the Lyrical Soul through infernal society, strike bargains in a primordial currency of Hell, and uncover an ancient story of love and loss.
This is an exceptional story, a part of Fallen London that requires additional money and is more self-contained than the rest of the story.
The focus here is mostly on the writing and on piecing things together. Someone is on the lookout for a very old and special soul. The further you investigate, the more you realize that you are reading a retelling of an ancient greek myth.
This story has a lot of lore about devils and the means they take to shape souls ot have the 'flavour' they like. It also introduces some iron coins that force devils to tell a truth to whoever holds it.
Some other players found this story to be a bit short or to have a disappointing ending. I don't remember being unsatisfied.
