Welcome to our celebrations for Fallen London’s 10th birthday!

Ambitions

What brought you to the Neath?

The long wait is over. The Ambitions will conclude over the coming weeks, with each receiving their final instalment in three parts. The first parts will arrive as follows:

Nemesis: 14 January

Bag a Legend: 3 March

Light Fingers: 31 March

Heart’s Desire: 21 April

And as for what comes next, even death isn’t an end in Fallen London. We are already busy on new stories, systems and advancements to ensure that completing your character’s Ambition won’t be the end of your game.

Submit your memories in any format you like (written, drawn, baked, crafted, photographed – as you please!) and our favourites in each of the following categories will win a [REDACTED] Companion for their Fallen London character!

Merchandise

Our merchandise partners at Gametee have created the most exquisite set of Storridge’s Definitely Unmarked Playing Cards.

Londoners do love a game of cards, from the honey-dens of Veilgarden to the back rooms of the exclusive House of Chimes.

The suits (Bats, Hats, Cats and Rats) and individually-illustrated face cards are rich with Neathy flourishes and characters: the Banded Prince, Jack of Smiles and even the Traitor Empress herself all appear. This illustrious deck has seen some life in the Neath, but it remains entirely suitable for any of your favourite Surface card games. Find the right game, and perhaps you’ll win your Heart’s Desire.

These are available in limited quantities, so please act swiftly if you would like to own a deck!

What’s a Birthday Without Gifts

If you haven’t already redeemed them, our Twitter and Discord have some birthday gifts for your character, five in all. Enjoy!

What else is in store?

Fallen London is having a whole season of excitement in celebration of its 10th birthday. Lots of game updates, including some extremely exciting updates to the site. Some special events, new stories, and quite a big surprise to cap it all off!

There’s a tremendous amount to come; if we showed you everything at once, it would be quite blinding! To stay in contact with us, we recommend Twitter, Discord and our Forums.
