Officers

Recruit officers on your travels - some are familiar faces from  Fallen London, some are new. Officers provide bonuses to your stats - Iron,  Veils,  Mirrors,  Hearts and  Pages, and they are the most accessible method of training those stats while the limits permit it. They're also a source of stories and interactions of variable interest and profit.

You can view your available officers and mascots anytime by viewing the Officers tab in your gazetteer. If you change officers while at sea, you will gain one unit of Terror.

Obtaining
The most common way to obtain  is to recruit him/her in Fallen London by doing the A new recruit! action. You can only recruit  if you have Another Day: A New Recruit?, a  quality gained by arriving in  Fallen London with  Something Awaits You.

Mascots and other  can only be obtained via interactions. See the list below for more details in how to obtain them.
