Discordant Studies (Storylet)

This page contains information about the Deeper Discordant Studies, which are designated by FBG to require strict spoiler protection. Proceed below at your own risk.

"Whatever you think you remember, the first step is to remember that you don't. Once you've gained that perspective, you'll find that others can slip into place."

Game Instructions: This will unlock deeper options to study the Discordance. It is not necessary to complete the Great Hellbound Railway. If you pursue these studies, you will lose points in many skills, beginning with Mithridacy. You will not always be warned. Progress may be expensive. Some puzzles will require thinking outside what the text directly instructs you to do. The Stewards of the Discordance would say: Do not do this.
