The Test of Substance

 is a Sunless Skies Story Event.

Guide
This is a location in Death’s Door.

To continue, captains must have their face removed. This requires a moderate Iron challenge or costs a Testament of Roses.

Having no face reduces Hearts by 5.

Faces can be recovered at The Quartermaster’s Office.

Refusing to give up your face results in Invisible status.

This location leads to Deeper into the Catafalque.

Story description
''Here the tunnel opens up into a great hall. The Gangling Sequestrator sits on her raised throne, surrounded by hanging lanterns and censers. As the spirits pass beneath her at a steady shuffle, she extends one telescopic arm and settles a veiny hand across their porcelain mask. With a moment's wrenching effort she yanks it away, leaving the spirit faceless. It turns and heads deeper into the Catafalque.''
