Editing Irem (Guide)

{{GuideFor|Location=Irem}}{{Audience|LateZailing}}[[Has icon::File:Irem_port.png|right]]{{GuideNeedsWork|Evolution Warp Details; extending GuideFor to cover the Loom}}
Irem, the Pillared City, a place where time is confused and collides with itself. You will always arrive as a stranger to her shores. ''Oh God. What tense is it written in?''

==Access==
The city is located in {{IL|The Pillared Sea}} region, and an {{IL|Iremi Zee-Chart}} is required to zail there.

'''The only way to gain access is to advance to the last (7th) chapter of the <u>[[Evolution (Guide)|Evolution]]</u> story''', during which you'll acquire the necessities (a boat and the chart). '''Destiny shaping is unlocked once the story is finished.'''

==Destinies==
Irem introduced several 'greater' Iremi [[:Category:Destiny|Destinies]] that grant Advanced Stats, available if you already have one of the original 'base' Destinies. Access these in the Loom with a {{IL|Promissory Note to Yourself}} gained from the [[The_Riddlefishers:_Matters_of_Destiny|Riddlefishers]]. '''Upgrading Destinies can be done year-round for free.'''

Just as in London, Irem allows you to gain or exchange Destinies for free during four festivals: [[Feast of the Exceptional Rose]], [[Fruits of the Zee Festival]], [[Hallowmas]], and [[Christmas]]. You can either acquire a new base Destiny at these times or acquire a new Promissory Note to choose a new Iremi Destiny.

Be mindful that '''you can only change your Destiny for free once per festival'''. However, when switching Iremi destinies, you do not need to actually change your Destiny ''during'' a festival. Obtaining a new {{IL|Promissory Note to Yourself}} during the festival period is sufficient; it can be held onto indefinitely and used to obtain a different Iremi Destiny at any time of year.

The festival time restrictions can be ignored by spending {{FontFate}} to alter your Destiny out of season. Doing so allows you to gain a base Destiny for the first time (allowing you to upgrade to an Iremi Destiny immediately), exchange base Destinies, or obtain a new Promissory Note for to exchange Iremi Destinies.

Note of interest: The Iremi destinies are all named after major arcana in {{IL|The_Neathy_Tarot,_Featuring_all_77_of_the_Major_Arcana|Appearance=the Neathy Tarot}}!

While the stats of each destiny are listed below, for more information please refer to [[Destinies (Guide)]].

==The Loom==
The Loom is Irem's activity, neither a singular story nor a wheel, but something a bit different. 

===Basics===
Travel through different futures, using cards, 3 qualities (Warps) and the loom storylet for navigation. The border of the cards indicate which of the 3 qualities they can give. The starting location has access to all 3 Warps, but this isn't true for all of them!

Your hand is limited to 3 cards but draw is not limited, similar to Zailing. Each location has only 3 cards (usually).

To travel to a different future (location), use the loom storylet. Different paths require different Warp qualities. Note that taking a path will reset all of your Warp qualities, so you cannot carry Warps between locations. While not all locations have access to all 3 Warps, '''cards are kept in your hand between locations, allowing the 'smuggling' of qualities. This is the key to reaching deeper locations.'''

Each card also features a non-Warp giving option, providing more common or Irem-exclusive items.

'''Destinies''': Getting a Greater Destiny is done from [[Throwing the Shuttle]]. Different locations reveal different futures.

'''Shortcut''': Once a few locations are discovered, [[The Colour of Fate]] allows the spending of various Neathbow boxes to instantly travel back to selected futures. Usually an expensive shortcut, if you're in a hurry.

'''Leaving''': The process can be halted anytime from [[The Thread in your Hand]] storylet. The Player is returned to Irem, the Warp qualities will be reset, but other collected items remain.

'''Getting experience''': You get certain bonuses upon discovering each new future. {{IL|A Cartographer of Fate}} is raised by 1 each time, and you need 3 to unlock the shortcuts above. {{IL|Knowledge of the Crossroads}} is raised by certain futures - in addition to what is gained during the Evolution you'll have to visit the Ruined, Altered, and Brilliant futures to raise it to 6, and then visiting a certain hidden future and getting a unique item there will propel you to exactly 7.

'''Boons''': Certain cards in several futures give you Boons - powerful pieces of equipment that raise advanced stats and Winds of Fortune by significant numbers, thus making card challenges easier or even guaranteed to succeed. These are given for free. All boons are equipped automatically and simultaneously,providing cumulative bonus, but only persist until you leave Irem, and vanish upon debarking, but can earned anew, should you return.

</div></div>

======Baited Riddle Path======
First make sure you have at least {{IL|Justificande Coin|1 x}} for each Riddle you want, as you cannot keep the other necessary items when you leave Irem, and note that Riddlefishing requires {{IL|Knowledge of the Crossroads}} 6. This path takes a minimum of 49 actions, but likely will take more; since at least 21 of those actions will be spent on navigating the Loom, Riddles may be best gained in bulk.

*{{IL|A Nearby Future}}
**Play [[The Fires Run Cold]] twice for 2 x Silken Warp.
**Optional: Keep [[The Fires Run Cold]] in your hand.
**Optional: Keep [[The Arrival of the Mail]] in your hand.
**Take [[The ladder to the attic]].
*{{IL|A Jewelled Future}}
**Optional: Play [[The Fires Run Cold]] from before.
**Play [[Prepare yourself (Irem)|Prepare yourself]] on [[The Edge of the Desert of Delights]] for the boon {{IL|Smiling with Sapphire Lips}}.
**Play [[Prepare your army]] on [[The Edge of the Desert of Delights]] until you have 3 x Silken Warp. 
**Keep either [[The Arrival of the Mail]] or [[The Mountain and the Light]] in your hand.
**Take [["Back towards the Unterzee. We have erred gravely."]]
*{{IL|A Brilliant Future}}
**Use the [[The Arrival of the Mail]] or [[The Mountain and the Light]] you kept for 1 x Bombazine Warp.
**Optional: Empty your hand to more easily draw the cards you need.
**Play [[A Good Day for a Stroll]] to grind {{IL|Memory of Sunlight|Appearance=Memories of Sunlight}}:
***[[Aid in planting trees]] gains you {{IL|Memory of Sunlight|1 x}} if you fail.
***[[Take the day for yourself]] gains you {{IL|Memory of Sunlight|1 x}} at the cost of {{IL|Ounce of Lily-Balm|1 x}}.
****You can use [[Aid in the censoring of texts]] on [[The Eyes of the Ministry]] to gain {{IL|Ounce of Lily-Balm|1 x}}.
****Because failure on [[Aid in planting trees]] becomes less likely as you gain Memories of Sunlight, this option is more efficient on average once you have 4 or more Memories.
**Once you have {{IL|Memory of Sunlight|7 x}} or a multiple thereof:
***Take [[An excursion to Watchmaker's Hill]].
*{{IL|A Chilly Future}}
**Optional: Empty your hand to more easily draw the cards you need.
**Play [[Engage in a little sport]] on [[The Woven Wind]] for the boon {{IL|Driven by a Pitch-Black Heart}}.
**Play [[Listen to the well's voice]] on [[The Waking Well]] twice for 2 x Bombazine Warp.
**Play [[Fly in with a bottle]] on [[The Waking Well]] to grind {{IL|Limpid Soul|Appearance=Limpid Souls}}.
**Once you have {{IL|Limpid Soul|7 x}} or a multiple thereof:
***Take [[The wind of ruin]].
*{{IL|A Ruinous Future}}
**Optional: Empty your hand to more easily draw the cards you need.
**Play [[Unravel someone]] on [[Bleeding (Irem)|Bleeding]] to grind {{IL|Selenitic Fragment|Appearance=Selenitic Fragments}}.
**Once you have {{IL|Selenitic Fragment|7 x}} or a multiple thereof:
***Play [[Bandage yourself]] on [[Bleeding (Irem)|Bleeding]] for 1 x Bombazine Warp (you should have at least {{IL|Bandage Scrap|10 x}} from the previous step).
***Take [[A broken mirror]].
*{{IL|A Silvered Future}}
**Play [[Claim the red pieces]] on [[A Game of Chess (Irem)|A Game of Chess]] or [[A Clay Man (Irem)|A Clay Man]] on [[High Upon the Parapets]] until you have 2 x Sinewy Warp.
**Take [[The one that's always damp]].
*{{IL|An Abyssal Future}}
**Any card here can gain {{IL|Fluke Spine, Freely Given|Appearance=Fluke Spines, Freely Given}}:
***[["I bring complicity"]] on [[It Eats Regret]] may be a difficult challenge, depending on how wealthy you are.
***[["I bring grievance"]] on [[It Eats Hatred]] may be a difficult challenge depending on how far along you are on {{IL|Advancing the Liberation of Night}}, but even a failure will gain you a Spine (at the cost of +1 CP {{IL|Nightmares}}).
***[["I bring only hunger"]] on [[It Eats Fear]] will freely gain you spines.
**Once you have {{IL|Fluke Spine, Freely Given|7 x}} or a multiple thereof:
***[[Let go (Irem)|Let go]] of [[The Thread in your Hand]].
*Trade everything you've gained for {{IL|Baited Riddle|1 x}} with [[Go fishing for a riddle]] on [[The Riddlefishers: Matters of Destiny]].

==Shopping==
In Irem, you can obtain special Iremi boons and items, that like many things in Irem, will transform from what they once were or will be, into what they are. Boons will disappear, while items will become a more ordinary version of themselves. In addition, some Iremi items can be sold at the Iremi exchange, the local "Bazaar", essentially allowing for free conversion of Iremi items into 2 different items ; one acquired if you leave Irem with the item, the other from selling it at the exchange. Though the EPA of grinding these items within the Loom is unremarkable, a lot of items cannot be ground at-value; hence, this is the best source of Jasmine Leaves and Moon-Pearls.
