Prospect Location Requirements Demand Sell Price Bonus
The Diplomatic Bag: Gemstones for Eagle's Empyrean

The London Embassy in the Eagle's Empyrean has a need for Navarantine Gemstones, to bribe officials who cannot be swayed with mere Sovereigns. Three Casks should suffice.

Eagle's Empyrean "Not a moment too soon," says the junior diplomat deemed expendable enough to handle such a flagrantly illegal transaction. "The fellow who handles smuggling is getting nosy. If he found out about this before we slipped them to him..." He shudders.
The Eagle's Gratitude: Literature to the Empyrean

Your service to Eagle's Empyrean has been recognised. The Bespectacled Official sends word that if you can bring him some Ministry-Approved Literature as a cover story, he will offer you suitable reward.

Eagle's Empyrean
    • Iron icon Balance of the Great Game: Eleutheria ≥ 0 and ≤ 1
The Bespectacled Official happily flicks through his new collection. "And so, we both benefit from our relationship. If only all exchanges could be so equitable. How much did you declare on the customs form? Oh dear. Let me adjust that for you."
London's Gratitude: Crockery to the Empyrean

Your contacts at the London Embassy in the Empyrean send word that your services have warranted a bonus. Bring them some Nostalgic Crockery and they will 'adjust' the paperwork to slide it past the Rose-Without-Thorns

Eagle's Empyrean
    • Iron icon Balance of the Great Game: Eleutheria ≥ 9 and ≤ 10
The delivery boy drops the crockery. Loudly. "Never mind," sighs the Ambassador. "Ah, yes, I promised a bonus. Have you visited Perdurance? I have a standing invitation, but alas, so much to do. Perhaps you would like to go in my stead?"
The Eagle's Education: Illicit Literature for Eagle's Empyrean

A Bespectacled Official at the Eagle's Empyrean wants authentic, unadulterated insights onto London culture, and the Ministry's censored versions of prose and poetry are too curated for his needs. He requests five Trunks of Illicit Literature that represent London's warts as well as her glory. .

Eagle's Empyrean The Bespectacled Official is satisfied with your delivery. "I spent some time in London, you know." he tells you, flipping through an uncensored Wilde. "But somehow I don't recognise this city the Ministry of Public Decency tell me it is." He pays you in crisp sovereign-notes in high denominations.
The Pages Vault: Illicit Literature to the Empyrean

The Gloomy Middleman has an opportunity for which someone has specifically requested you. A private collector in the Eagle's Empyrean seeks books from the notorious 'Pages Collection' of Old London, which was said to contain copies of works assumed to be mythical. "I rarely read myself," the Middleman confides, "on account of my deep mistrust of writers, whom I consider perfidious. The odds of finding something from the Pages Collection is vanishingly small, of course, but to an optimist any haystack might hide a needle. Nine Trunks of Illicit Literature should do in this case. Within two months, if you please." .

Eagle's Empyrean The client is attached to the London embassy. She avidly begins rummaging through the books. "The Pages Collection contained works written during the heyday of the Khans; ones which might shed some truth on the Eagle's... unlikely account of his early family history. Your promptness is appreciated; I have a lot of reading to do."
