| Spoiler warning! This page contains details about Fallen London Actions. |
Crates! A great many of them, scattered up and down the Upper River. […] a dirigible was […] sighted, listing and blazing, shedding crates from a hole in its flank.
Crates abound up and down the Upper River, and […] engaged the interests of certain parties. […]Description summary:
Part of the second paragraph varies depending on the current 
Interested Parties. Additionally, the final paragraph changes based on which side is leading at the moment.
| Interested Parties | Second paragraph bit |
|---|---|
| 3 | The Constables have swooped in, desperate to confiscate them before anybody gets hurt (especially the body of any Constable). And various criminal elements […] are willing to pay to get their hands on new and terrifying things to fence. |
| 4 | Hell is on the prowl for the spilled cargo, though it denies all involvement publicly. And various criminal elements have made it known that they are willing to pay to get their hands on new and terrifying things to fence. |
 GCC: Criminals & Constables | Third paragraph |
|---|---|
| Below 25000 | Word among the criminal element is that they have amassed a mighty stockpile of crates. The Constables are struggling to keep up. |
| Above 25000 | The Constables keep all of their 'confiscated' crates in a warehouse surrounded by guards. It is almost full to bursting; the Criminals are having trouble liberating any from the law. |
| GCC: Hell & Criminals | Third paragraph |
|---|---|
| Below 25000 | Crates handed over to Hell – and there have been many – vanish quickly. It is not known at this time what the devils are actually doing with them. |
| Above 25000 | ? |

Game Instructions: You can find a variety of new cards in the Upper River Opportunity Deck that will afford you chances to recover crates. You can also obtain crates – somewhat less favourably – by purchasing them from enterprising souls.
Turning in crates serves to benefit a particular faction. At the end of the event, a recurring Opportunity Card will unlock for the faction that has amassed the most crates. This will offer new opportunities to earn favours with that faction, and will persist until this event next occurs.
