Sulochana Amavasya

Sulochana Amavasya is the owner of the Ecdysis Club. She can be randomly met as a patron, by speaking about occult lore and impressing her with reason. She is an alukite and a member of the Ligeia Club.

Unlike other patrons she does not give commissions; however, she is a key character to pursuing some of the endings.

Besides that, Sulochana is extremely useful in that unlike other characters, you can talk to her about absolutely anything. This usually produces no effect, but since the timer of whatever you are speaking of is stopped and she has no coldown, this allows you to keep a limited duration card almost indefinitely (as long as you don't need to talk to someone else) by constantly talking to her about it.

Some often useful things to discuss with Sulochana include:

* Contentment, if you are fighting Dread and have a bad timing.
* Glimmering, Erudition, Vitality and their "A lesson learnt" variants, especially when trying to raise the skills to the highest levels, and more anecdotally when studying two lores to make a higher one.
* Various powerful influences, when they arrive at the wrong time
* Your job, to avoid losing it while you are performing rituals, writing for commissions, painting or doing some alternative work.
* A Favour from Authority, if you see it will be useful but get it a bit too early.

You can speak with Sulochana about any Secret Histories Lore fragment except An Occult Scrap and Unresolved Ambiguity to gain access to the final Vault in each corresponding location, regardless of how many unique vaults have been explored. For most legacies, this is of questionable value - unique vaults contain guaranteed books and treasures which can be more valuable than the random contents of the final vault in the same location. While the unique vaults can still be obtained by exploring with later copies of the same Lore, generally they are more useful to do first.

## In the Dancer legacy

Exploring The Ecdysis Club with Sulochana instead of Funds will allow you to discuss your Temptation with her. If your temptation is Temptation: Power or Temptation: Sensation, she will change it to Temptation: Change. If your temptation is currently Change, she will offer you a job dancing at the Ecdysis Club.

Speaking to Sulochana about Secret Histories Lore is much more valuable with this legacy, as it will immediately unlock the locations you need to explore with Sendings.

Speaking with Sulochana about a Contract at the Gaiety will reset its timer to 120s.

### A Bright-Eyed Watcher

**A Bright-Eyed Watcher** is an aspect on the card a Contract at the Gaiety. It notifies you to the presence of **Sulochana Amavasya** watching your performance before she contacts you. While this Aspect is on the card, using Passion or Restlessness during the *Extra Effort* portion of the job may yield Sulochana. Once Sulochana has been met, this Aspect will disappear from the card.

## In the Exile legacy

 **Element ID** | op.sulochana

In the Exile legacy, **Sulochana** is a Ligeian Presence Distraction. She can be encountered through Reconnoitre in London.

### Uses

As a Ligeian Presence Distraction, Sulochana can be used to counter an attack by a reckoner. She produces Foe's Wound if used against the Foe's attack.

Communicating with Sulochana when she is in a good mood or after providing her a suitable gift (a reckoner corpse, a human corpse, an ally or associate, or a Stolen Decade) will allow you to learn one of your Foe's Weaknesses, eliminate a reckoner without leaving a Trace, or obtain three Connections: Connection: Radicals, Connection: Holy Man, and Official Connection.
