Eventually will require at least 8 Strong-Backed Labour to get the Gymnasium from The Rat Legion.

Decided to use the The Acacia and the Butterfly card (Orient vs Docks) to get SBL. Results:

yields 4 SBL

costs 500CP of Connected: The Orient

earns 30CP of Connected: The Docks

In return, grind Connected: The Orient through an Audience with The Widow in Spite.

acquires 1 Magnificent Diamond

The Traitor Empress' consort became dangerously ill just before the Fall. Typhoid, apparently. It seems he's quite recovered and lives happily to this day. The air down here must have been good for his health.
