unbreakablehaven answered: What the Thunder Said is the only one that currently has an “ending”, which is pretty amazing. Aside from that, if you go to the Nadir you may find a use for them.

Okay. I’ve gone to the Nadir a few times but not really done much there. I think I’m gonna start proper expeditions there once I finish Notability grinding to get myself a Sanctum.

forthigan answered: They’re mostly just interesting stories in their own right.

That much I realized, and as with basically all things in FL, I love the writing. I was just wondering if they had any other “use” beyond entertainment, since most things seem to and it seems weird to have more or less a whole mechanic that never really leads to much? Like, it kind of seems to me like a game having a Jump button, but it only allows you to get a single treasure chest in all 60 hours of gameplay. It’s fun in its own right, but it seems weird to me from a game design standpoint.

The Eye of the Storm

Dreams can be a funny thing, at least down here. I woke up, and it felt like something was different. Looking in the mirror, I just had to wonder...were my eyes always such a dark grey?
