Shadowing Couriers

ID: 13548

Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

The Flit is a road for numberless clandestine couriers - men and women whose cargo is too valuable to trust to the streets. Shadowing these messengers will eventually net you valuable secrets.

Game Instructions: Increase your Seeking... to 5 to unlock options on the previous storylet.
Each time you use these options, you may learn more about a secret conflict waged in the Flit.
