    Success Instructions: Journey to Parabola to dream of Hell. A critical mass of dreamers must gather in order to proceed. If you lack a way to Parabola, one will be made available to you. Ensure you conclude any Estival-related business in London first, though you will still have at least one more opportunity to turn back. If you wish to spend Estival tokens, do so before concluding the event.

    • London, Askance A meeting has been called, to determine the next move. (Sets London, Askance to 100 - A law shall be forged; a dream shall rise; Hell shall succumb)
