A Londoner of your stature has interests all over town. Fingers in every pie. Ears in every alley, eyes on every corner. But you can hardly be expected to manage it all yourself.

Introducing Agents, a brand new, permanent Fallen London feature for the 15th birthday year!

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 items from your inventory – all those things you have lying around which could surely be put to better use! – and send them out on Plots.

Plots take place in parallel to your everyday play: as you spend actions on other things, the chosen plot advances. Once a plot concludes, you’ll receive a report and any material rewards from your agent. With a bit of oversight, they’ll be steady little earners.

Engage the Luckless Zailor, Clay Breaker and Wily Bathyphile in the first round of Plots, each of which has a nautical theme. Future Agents and Plots will concern themselves with other matters.

You'll need to have achieved tier-two Person of Some Importance status to access Agents when they arrive on Tuesday the 6th of May (Whitsun follows on the 8th). We hope you enjoy!
