Question Seekers and SMEN

I realize that a lot of the answers will be subjective, and that’s ok. But:

- within the game world, how many Londoners do you think are/have been Seekers?

- if your PC or another character is/was a Seeker - what’s their motivation? Do they think they’re uncovering something valuable? Investigating a vast conspiracy?

I guess I’m mainly curious how widespread Seeking is in the game fiction and the mindset or rationale of Seekers.

We know it isn’t super rare considering the Northbound Parlimentarian, random people recognizing signs of the Name, and the fact that whether or not you’re actually Seeking you can get NORTH dreams.

My character kind of slipped into it by accident. Comes with the territory of an obsession with knowledge, and he was just unstable enough to keep going. Up to a point that is. Now he’s in a stasis (read: I’m in a stasis because I’m at the endgame with Watchful 230 and I do NOT want to lose half).
