I've been trying to start up a new enterprise for a while now. A research body." The Focused Resurrectionist lets out a short, barking laugh. "And not the kind I procure for the doctors and dentists, if you catch my drift."

Today we're releasing new Agents for Fallen London, focused on the Shapeling Arts and the Neath's monstrous anatomies! Save a 'colleague' of F.F. Gebrandt from the law's overzealous attention, and establish a new bastion of scientific innovation. There is much yet to be learned about the bodies of the Neath…

This is a basic set of Plots to introduce the characters and concepts; like with previous concerns, we expect to expand and complicate the opportunities available to these Agents in future releases.

Agents are capable retainers who will gladly take care of business on your behalf. Engage agents of different types, with their own skills; equip them with your second best gear and send them on various Plots.

Once you’ve unlocked Agents, you can run a single Plot at a time, and unlock the ability to run a second through gameplay. Exceptional Friends can run a further Plot – and Enhanced Exceptional Friends another still! – provided they have enough Agents to assign.

Players who have attained ‘A Person of Some Importance’ at tier-two status, and who have University laboratories with at least 25 Prestige, can begin this endeavour from 'A Scientist at the Door' in your Lodgings.
