Editing Evolution (Guide)

{{GuideFor|Concept=Concept:Evolution}}{{Audience|MidZailing|Evergreen=yes}}
The Evolution storyline is a story in which you help the Dilmun Club doing science. It's mainly tracked with the {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} quality, but the beginning instead uses {{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}}.

In order to start Evolution, you only need {{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}} 75 (See [[Associating with Radical Academics (Guide)|this guide]]), but in order to complete the storyline you will at some point require the following:

*Several {{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane|Appearance=Relatively Safe Zee Lanes}}
*{{IL|Stone Tentacle-Key}} (See [[Time Passing at Hunter's Keep (Guide)]])
*Access to {{IL|Port Cecil}} and a {{IL|Deed to a Port Cecil Business, Encoded in Chess Notation}} (See [[Port Cecil (Guide)]])
*Access to {{IL|Godfall}}
*Recommended: Decent levels in {{IL|A Player of Chess}}, {{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} and probably more advanced skills.
*Base {{IL|Zeefaring}} 5

==Qualities==
*{{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}}: This quality is mostly used in pt. 1 of the story.
*{{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}}: This is the main tracker quality in the story, and the different sections will be based on your progress with this quality.
*{{IL|Naturalist's Acceptance}}, {{IL|Naturalist's Cunning}} and {{IL|Naturalist's Malleability}}, aka naturalist qualities: These are qualities that show how your relation with the Naturalist is. Has some effect on some actions.
*{{IL|A Meeting of the Dilmun Club}}: Shows the progress of your current Dilmun Club meeting.
*{{IL|Visiting Cline}}: Shows your progress while in Cline
*{{IL|Academic Inclination}}: Affects some text
*{{IL|Besieged by Wax}}: Progress quality while at Godfall
*{{IL|Knowledge of the Crossroads}}: Skill at navigating the Loom of Destiny in Irem
*{{IL|Delighted}}: Unlocks a Zee-Dream card (see [[Having Recurring Dreams: Rosy Colours Leaping on the Wall]]) and affects some texts in Pt.5
*{{IL|Spiralling Regrets}}: Required for some actions in pt. 6
*{{IL|Mortal Philosophy}}: Acquired in pt. 6, use currently unknown (RP quality?)
*{{IL|Regretful Comprehension|Appearance = Regretful}}, {{IL|Monastic Comprehension|Appearance = Monastic}}, {{IL|Organic Comprehension|Appearance = Organic}}, {{IL|Mechanical Comprehension|Appearance = Mechanical}}, {{IL|Temporal Comprehension|Appearance = Temporal}}, {{IL|Cartographic Comprehension|Appearance = Cartographic}}, and {{IL|Mnemonic Comprehension}}: Preparation qualities for pt. 6
*{{IL|A Name Forged in Amber}}: The name of your diving-bell
*{{IL|Hull Health}}: The health of your diving-bell

==The Story==
The guide has been split up in several sections based on when the section was released, however you may complete the whole story in one go, should you wish to.

===Part 1 - Shells of Regret===
This part starts with {{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}} 75, in {{IL|Your Lodgings}}.
Play [[A Message from the Dilmun Club]] and attend the meeting.

Once done with the meeting, you should travel to {{IL|Cline}}. Cline is located in {{IL|Shepherd's Wash}}. Note that once you're done with this visit you'll end up back in London, so if there are other things you want to do at Zee, do those first.

After [[Wandering the Streets]] of Cline, you will get a choice over whether to bring back a {{IL|Fossilised Shell of Regret|Appearance = fossilised shell}} or a {{IL|Living Shell of Regret|Appearance = living shell}}. This will determine some text later on, as well as which (mechanically identical) unique item you get in part 6.

Once you have extracted the shell, you will have to leave {{IL|Cline}}. As you are leaving, you will find the Naturalist, and may either throw him overboard or talk to him. Either choice will affect your naturalist qualities, and you will find yourself back in London. Report back to the Dilmun Club in {{IL|Your Lodgings}}. This will set {{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}} to 120 and marks the end of this part.

===Part 2 - The Mentor===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 1-79
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required items and qualities:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*{{IL|Associating with Radical Academics}} 120
*{{IL|Rookery Password|1 x}}
*{{IL|Volume of Collated Research|5 x}}
*{{IL|Patent Scrutinizer|1 x}}
*{{IL|Stone Tentacle-Key}} (See [[Time Passing at Hunter's Keep (Guide)]])
*{{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane}}
*{{IL|Favours: Tomb-Colonies|3 x}}
</div></div>
Having finished your meeting with the Dilmun Club, it shouldn't take a long time before you are [[Contacted by a Youthful Naturalist]] by opportunity card. After drinking with him for a while at {{IL|The Medusa's Head}}, you will agree to [[Revisiting Orchard House|help him]] in {{IL|Ladybones Road}}. After reporting to your patron or keeping this to yourself, you will have to [[Locating the Youthful Naturalist|return to the Naturalist]]. Give him a {{IL|Rookery Password}} and [[Working with the Youthful Naturalist|continue working with him]] in {{IL|Spite}}. This will cost several items. At this point, the Naturalist will ask you to pop by {{IL|Hunter's Keep}} to retrieve a {{IL|Stone Tentacle-Key}} and [[Deliver the Stone Tentacle-Key|deliver it to him.]]

The next section requires you to find the Naturalist's mentor by taking a [[Smuggling the Youthful Naturalist|trip to Zee]], more specifically to the Tomb-Colonies in {{IL|Stormbones}}. It might be worth bringing {{IL|Favours: Tomb-Colonies|2 x}}, plus excess scandal you want to lose. Travelling by zee sets {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 50, as well as increasing your {{IL|Scandal}}. You will also gain some naturalist qualities in the process. [[Consulting the Dusty Ornithologist|Find the mentor]] and spend favours to progress the story. If you didn't bring favours, you have two choices: Either play cards that give favours, or [[Surrounded by scandal|reduce your scandal to 6 repeatedly, and thereby gain favours]].
Once your {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} has reached 61, it's time to head back to London. [[Parting ways, temporarily]] sets {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 70 and you may zail back to London.

Back in {{IL|Ladybones Road}}, [[A Private Meeting]] will finish this part of Evolution, setting {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 80.

===Part 3 - The Experiment===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 80-170
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required items and hard challenges:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*{{IL|Volume of Collated Research|1 x}}
*{{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane|1 x}}
*{{IL|Deed to a Port Cecil Business, Encoded in Chess Notation}} (See [[Port Cecil (Guide)]] for how to gain this)
*{{IL|Knob of Scintillack}} (1 per failure)
*{{IL|Bottle of Broken Giant 1844}} (1 per failure)
*{{IL|Nodule of Warm Amber}} (25 per failure)
*{{IL|A Player of Chess}} 3, 4 and 6 challenges (requires 11 to 100%)
*{{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} 8 challenges
*(Optional: 3 x {{IL|Confident Smile}}, 3 x {{IL|Hastily Scrawled Warning Note}}, 3 x {{IL|Sudden Insight}})
*(Optional: 3 x {{IL|Puzzling Map}}, 1200 x {{IL|Silk Scrap}})
*{{IL|Chirurgical Touch}} is an advantage
</div></div>
Eventually, you will once again be [[Summoned to the Club]], starting another meeting. You will end up with 300 {{e}} worth of {{IL|Rostygold}}. This will be required later, so don't sell it!
[[Travel to the Tomb-Colonies]] again to [[Reuniting with the Youthful Naturalist|reunite with the Naturalist]], before quickly going back to Zee, this time to {{IL|Port Cecil}}. Before you can get there, something unexpected happens, which has to be dealt with. Reduce your {{IL|Troubled Waters}} to 6 to deal with the situation. Upon dealing with the situation, your {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} will be at 120.

In {{IL|Port Cecil}}, you will find [[The Naturalist on the Shore]]. In order to progress after this step, you need your own business and two progress qualities: {{IL|Camaraderie & Misery}} and {{IL|Cartographic Comprehension}}. You will also need 5,000 Moon-Pearls to [[Play chess for ownership of The Poisoned Pawn]] in order to unlock the Port Cecil carousel.
* For {{IL|Camaraderie & Misery}}, you will need to do the Port Cecil carousel 3 times with {{IL|Iron & Misery Scintillack Extraction}} higher than {{IL|Feline Argentation}}, and spending the rostygold you received earlier.
*For {{IL|Cartographic Comprehension}}, [[Consider gambling]] under [[How to Advance a Science]]. This will lead to 3 tough chess-matches which you have to win. Losing a game means losing your stake. Be sure to bring several {{IL|Bottle of Broken Giant 1844|Appearance=Broken Giants}}, which cannot be found locally, and preferably a substantial store of {{IL|Nodule of Warm Amber|Appearance=Warm Amber}}, which can only be locally earned slowly via an alternative success. The hardest game is an {{IL|A Player of Chess}} 10 challenge, staking 25 Warm Amber each game.

With both parts done, [[Consider logistics]]. This will lead to another cycle of the Port Cecil carousel, but this time you must make sure to both:
*have the Lamp-cats win
*[[Survey the terrain with the Youthful Naturalist]] 3 times successfully at Low tide. This is a {{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} 8 challenge, and all three successes are needed within one cycle (you lose your progress at the end of the cycle). That gives seven attempts (58% probability of success at {{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} 7).

With this done, you can [[Conduct an experiment]]. Finishing this and the subsequent actions will set {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 141-143, as well as affecting your naturalist qualities.
[[The Fruits of Science]] will give you your first special reward, and you will now have a choice. Either you may do an operation, which may cost some second chances if you threw the naturalist overboard in part 1, or you may decline to do so.
Lending your assistance costs {{IL|Puzzling Map|3x}} and {{IL|Silk Scrap|1200x}}, and leads to a hard {{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} challenge (16, but decreases on failures) which may be completely avoided if you have {{IL|Chirurgical Touch}}. Declining means you'll have to do another cycle of the Port Cecil carousel.

Speak to the Naturalist another time and your {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} will reach 170.
Head back to {{IL|Ladybones Road}} in London to conclude this part of Evolution, increasing {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 175.

===Part 4 - The Journey===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 175 - 320
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required items and hard challenges:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*{{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub|7777 x}}
*{{IL|Discovered: Godfall}}
*{{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane|1 x}}
</div></div>

Once again, you'll draw an [[Luke 11:33|opportunity card]] in London. This time playing the card will cost a lot of candles. Upon paying the candles, a meeting will ensue, in the process granting you an {{IL|Essence of Life}}. You will also gain a small reward, and be requested to zail to {{IL|Port Cecil}} again. Before you reach Port Cecil you will be [[More Blood in the Water|ambushed]], and if your {{IL|Zeefaring}} isn't very high, you may experience some Nightmares.

Once you've reached Port Cecil, you should use your essence in order to [[Revitalising the Youthful Naturalist|revive the naturalist]]. As the Bishop requested, you should head to {{IL|Aeschaven}}, in Godfall, but in order to get the naturalist with you, you'll need a {{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane}}. Your {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} should now be at 200.

In order to actually zail to {{IL|Aeschaven}}, you'll first need to discover Godfall. Refer to [[Pilgrimages in Godfall (Guide)]] for this. If you haven't already unlocked pilgrimages, this would also be a good time to do so. [[The Gospel of Change|Talk to the abbot-commander]], and have the naturalist wrestle him. The Wax-wind will return, and you will experience a different pilgrimage carousel than usual, as you will have to battle with the wax-wind for each station, and you will have the naturalist perform rituals instead of yourself. At Associating 270, you will have a surprise, and gain a {{IL|Shattered Mask}} and {{IL|Knowledge of the Crossroads}}. By the end of your journey, associating should reach 320.

Back in London, there will be a [[In Search of a Giggling Charwoman|universal storylet]] setting Associating to 325, marking the end of this section.

===Part 5 - The Pirates===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 325-474 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required qualities, items and hard challenges:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*Access to {{IL|Gaider's Mourn}} (Requires Base {{IL|Zeefaring}} 5)
*{{IL|Corsair's Colours}} (See [[Piracy (Guide)]] for how to gain this)
*{{IL|Stashed Treasure|10000 x}}
*{{IL|Phosphorescent Scarab|10 x}}s
*{{IL|Mostly-Cooperative Chart of the Eastern Unterzee}} (not consumed) OR {{IL|Puzzling Map|3 x}}s
*{{IL|Whirring Contraption|1 x}}
</div></div>

At {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 325 you may [[Report to the Dilmun Club]]. This starts another meeting, setting {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} to 330 . You will also start drawing [[Making Contact with a Contact]] which allows you to increase {{IL|Tracking Down the Charwoman}} up to 3 (this takes 3 successes). A storylet in {{IL|The Labyrinth of Tigers}}, coil 2 will increase this further up to 4. With both the meeting done and having tracked down the Charwoman, you may [[Prepare to continue your research]]. After having done all these steps, it's time to return to {{IL|Godfall}}. Upon approaching {{IL|Shepherd's Wash}}, [[Clouds on the Horizon|a storylet]] will autofire with options depending on {{IL|Delighted}}, changing what you see as you approach {{IL|Godfall}}. Upon arriving at {{IL|Godfall}}, you should follow the storylets on [[Blood and Feathers]] until you have {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 365.

To progress further you will need to do another pilgrimage and [[Interrogate the Rowdy Corsair]] when the option appears. This will set your progress to 370, at which point you'll need access to {{IL|Gaider's Mourn}} in order to progress. Once there, you'll need to obtain the assistance of the Rowdy Corsair's crew. After paying them in {{IL|Stashed Treasure}}, supplying them with maps, and doing a bit of planning, you'll be able to [[Hear the name of the Delight]] from your {{IL|Almost-Tame Blue Prophet}} and pursue it as a Bounty. After you track it down, by donning your {{IL|Shattered Mask}} as a disguise and using a {{IL|Whirring Contraption|Appearance = Whirring Contraption's}} parts for a cage, you'll be allowed to board.

Aboard the Delight, {{IL|Delighted}} will change the appearance of everything; without it, you may receive {{IL|Nightmares}} from the ambient horrors around you. If your {{IL|Nightmares}} get too high a storylet will autofire prompting you to equip your mask, removing all {{IL|Nightmares}}. There are three floors, and you need to spend one action on each floor passing time to unlock an action that grants a {{IL|Sacristan's Benediction}}. Once you have 3 {{IL|Sacristan's Benediction}}, you can [[Enter the Second Sacristan's cabin]] on the middle deck to rescue the Youthful Naturalist, the conclusion of which will see you become affiliated with {{IL|The Crew of the HMS Ramillies}}. Then, after catching up with the Youthful Naturalist, return to London to end the chapter. 

===Part 6 - The Garden and the Diving-Bell===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 475-625 
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required qualities, items and hard challenges:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*{{IL|Tribute|20 x}}
*{{IL|Cellar of Wine|5 x}}
*Several items that are also gathered in the chapter
*3 (fairly easy) {{IL|Kataleptic Toxicology}} challenges
*7 {{IL|Zeefaring}} 7 challenges, some of which can be bypassed with the following qualities and items:
** {{IL|Amber Vision of the Sea of Spines}}
** {{IL|Discovered: The Fading Mind}}
** {{IL|Discovered: the Sea of Spines}}
** {{IL|Monster-Hunter}} profession with the {{IL|Teratomancer}} specialisation
** {{IL|Silverer}} profession with the {{IL|Ontological Cartographer}} specialisation
*{{IL| A Player of Chess}} 7 challenge
*No {{IL|Wounds}}
</div></div>

Just like the other chapters this chapter starts with a meeting. This time you will be tasked with killing the shell you just provided in order to get hold of it once again. After navigating the meeting room and passing some {{IL|Kataleptic Toxicology}} checks, you will gain either the {{IL|Slaughtered Shell}} or the {{IL|Twice-Slaughtered Shell}}. Talk to the Naturalist on your ship in order to continue from here. You get tasked to gather some comprehension in order to make your Diving bell. This requires visiting {{IL|The Court of the Wakeful Eye}}, {{IL|Port Cecil}}, {{IL|A Khaganian Patrol Vessel|Image=Khanbannerblack.png}} ({{IL|The Salt Steppe}} card) and 2 x {{IL|The Fleet of Truth}} (card requiring some {{IL|Troubled Waters}}).

These cards will give the following items ('''Do not sell them''')

* {{IL|Whirring Contraption|21x}}
* {{IL|Unearthly Fossil|10x}}
* {{IL|Nevercold Brass Sliver|5000x}}
* {{IL|Memory of Distant Shores|100x}}

Having gathered said comprehension and items, [[prepare to build the diving-bell]] and zail to {{IL|Godfall}} in order to continue the trek. (Bring {{IL|Cellar of Wine|5 x}} or your trip will be wasted. Although you were given these resources earlier, make sure before departing that you also have {{IL|Whirring Contraption|21x}}, {{IL|Unearthly Fossil|10x}}, {{IL|Nevercold Brass Sliver|5000x}}, and {{IL|Memory of Distant Shores|100x}}.) Having assembled the diving-bell, you will have to chart the currents in the 7 seas by equipping your shell and drawing cards in the different zee-regions.

Once all of the regions were mapped, the player can talk to the Naturalist to finalize the construction, and then, the player can draw one card to use the diving bell. The card is drawn while the shell is equipped, and can be drawn in any sea region. The player cannot have any {{IL|Wounds}} while diving, but having other menaces (and equipping menace-boosting equipment) will prevent some menace gain. After diving and resurfacing another meeting with the Dilmun Club begins, including an increase to a naturalist quality. Ending the meeting concludes Part 6.

===Part 7 - Irem===
Covers {{IL|Associating with a Youthful Naturalist}} 630+
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Required qualities, items and hard challenges:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*{{IL|Drop of Prisoner's Honey|7777 x}}
*{{IL|Relatively Safe Zee Lane|1 x}}
Recommended, in order to gain Zeefaring Ztudies 2: 
*{{IL|Zee-Ztory|7 x}}
*{{IL|Memory of Distant Shores|7 x}}
*{{IL|Southern Wind}}, {{IL|Northern Wind}}, and {{IL|Eastern Wind}}
*{{IL|Stashed Treasure|777 x}}
*Base {{IL|Zeefaring}} 6
</div></div>

Once again, this chapter starts with a meeting in London: [[Fresh from Blackfinger Street]]. After finishing the meeting you will be tasked to do the final leg of the journey - travelling to {{IL|Irem}}. This requires spending honey and a Zee Lane. Having made an Iremi Zee-Chart, you should zail to Irem. Bringing the recommended items will make it easier to clear {{IL|Troubled Waters}} at Irem and will allow you to gain Zeefaring Ztudies 2 in the process (This can be done in [[The House of Snow and Brine]]).

In Irem, you will exchange your tentacle keys from the previous steps for increased understanding of the Crossroads and unlock the Destiny of the Youthful Naturalist. Proceeding will put you in a weave between 4 different areas: {{IL|A Forking Future}}, {{IL|A Mortal Future}}, {{IL|A Vivisected Future}} and {{IL|A Manifold Future}}. Each location has 3 different cards, in addition to menace cards from Nightmares and Wounds. 
The cards will earn you three qualities: {{IL|Silken Warp}}, {{IL|Sinewy Warp}} or {{IL|Bombazine Warp}}. They allow you to move to one of the other futures, depending on the Warp colour. The same Warp will always move you to the same future (see table below), unless you are already there, in which case you will be moved back to A Forking Future. 

The starting location has access to all 3 Warps, but this isn't true for all of them! The cards have different borders according to which types of Warps they give: 

{| class="article-table"

In order to proceed you need to visit each of the futures at least once, unlocking three comprehension qualities. This is done by using cards to gain warps and the loom storylet for navigation. Whenever you enter a new future you lose any warps you may have, but your cards remain. In addition to this, you will need to raise one of your naturalist qualities to 7, while keeping the others below 7. 

Each card has one option to adjust your naturalist qualities, but the quality you want might be more accessible in a different future.

Since each card only has one option for changing the qualities, the below table contains the card name and not the action name.

The different naturalist qualities lead to different destinies for the naturalist:
*{{IL|The Wheel of Fortune}} (Malleablility)
*{{IL|The Hierophant}} (Acceptance)
*{{IL|The Hanged Man (All the Cards on the Table)|Appearance=The Hanged Man}} (Cunning)
Regardless of your choice, choosing a destiny will end the storyline and unlock advanced destinies, but there are also a storylet and a card back in London. See [[Irem (Guide)]] for a more in-depth guide to the advanced destinies. Based on your choice, one of the members of the Dilmun Club will give you a reward on [[Another File for the Archives]] An item worth 312.5 {{e}}, as well as connections with the relevant faction(s). Additionally, you will (eventually) draw [[A dream about jellyfish]] giving a {{IL|Fluke-Core}} 

Other effects:

* An extra option on [[...or you could just give up]]
* [[The Seekers of the Garden]] card gets an extra branch, useful for gaining favours.
* {{IL|Ambition: Heart's Desire!}}: A slight dialogue change when [[Ask about his heart's desire|talking to the boatman]].


This concludes the story of the Youthful Naturalist.
