Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions.

From: Furnace Leading a Radical Liberationist City or Furnace Leading a Radical Prehistoricist City

You prefer the city [Alignment], and you want Furnace to stay in power. It is a productive tension, which is to say, a system that will fly apart without active maintenance.

Game Instructions: If you fail, the city will make its own choice, which might mean a change of ideology or might mean a change of leadership.

Success

Rumours counteracted

You remind everyone of how much they owe to Furnace. She kept the Union together, all the way here. Perhaps her judgement should still be trusted? Perhaps she knows more than anyone about what is a real risk to community feeling?

Failure

Furnace is expelled

[...] The Tracklayers [...] remove Furnace from office and appoint someone else. [...]

Furnace does not hide her hurt from you. [...] She doesn't consider herself too good for an ordinary work crew, but who will treat her normally there? What is she meant to do now? [...]
