    Noteworthy

    Success Instructions: You can exchange Making Waves for Notability via Slowcake's Amanuensis, who you can encounter through your Opportunity Deck. You can use – or spend – Notability on a variety of things, such as advanced professions or exceptional specialisation. The amount of Making Waves needed scales with your combined Bizarre, Dreaded, and Respectable. Your Notability will drop when Time, the Healer comes, if it is higher than your current Making Waves. If you have at least one point of Notability, and enough Making Waves to achieve the next, you can summon the Amanuensis from 'Attend to Matters of Society' in Your Social Engagements.
