Tales of Fallen London: The Silver Tree was a standalone prequel to Fallen London, set in 13th century Karakorum, written and designed by Yasmeen Khan and illustrated by Paul Arendt. The game was playable on StoryNexus until the platform was shut down on 27 January 2026.

Kickstarter Campaign

The Kickstarter project was launched on 3 August 2012 and met its pledge goal in seven hours, and three of six stretch goals by the time it closed one month later.

Those who pledged at certain tiers were eligible to receive the following rewards in Fallen London:

  • All backers: A membership of The Temple Club, an exclusive location in a ruined temple in the Forgotten Quarter. This was a stretch goal reward.
  • Urchin ($30): The Bitter Saker Falcon, a companion with an opportunity card and a repeatable living story to send it out hunting.
  • Tomb-Colonist ($60): The Falcon and a Leaf from the Silver Tree, an interactable curiosity with a repeatable social action, allowing you to dream of the heyday of the Fourth City alone or with your friends.
  • Prophetic backer ($250): The Falcon, a Leaf, and William of Paris's Early Designs for the Silver Tree, an interactable curiosity.
  • Immortal ($500): The Falcon, a Leaf, and a Firkin of Hesperidean Cider. While the Cider was never unique to this Kickstarter campaign, it had the distinction as the first to be obtained by a player.
  • Master ($1,200): The Falcon, a Leaf, and a tailor-made repeatable storyline that only the backer can play. With two backers for this tier, the stories are Great-Aunt Beatrice's Legacy and Uncle Archibald's Legacy.

Permanent Stories

The Temple Club remains a visitable location for new players as long as one can acquire an invitation. An access code granting three invitations was distributed in 2020, and another Kickstarter project opened the door to new memberships as one of its backer rewards in 2021. For more details, see The Temple Club (Guide).

The Celebrated and Renowned tiers allowed backers to appear as opportunity card characters in Fallen London and The Silver Tree. In Fallen London, these cards have been retired except for the Northbound Parliamentarian and the Paronomastic Newshound.
