Success

Lessons learned

[…] Your shrine to St. Joshua is draped in irrigo. Once you've finished the rites, you barely remember them. You pull your old chess-piece from your pocket and consign it – and the memories it sustains – to the altar-fire.

Description summary:
You manage to track down a Queen in the Great Game, stealing her earliest childhood memento, which involved burning down the orphanage she grew up in, and delivering it to the Detective who was tasked with discovering the perpetrator of the arson / multiple-homicide of said orphanage. Having toppled one of the queens, you build a shrine to Saint Joshua and burn your old chess piece as an offering.
