[Alignment text]

Cornelius pretends to obey all these strictures, but the population thinks he is possibly still creating monsters in his basement. They are very possibly correct.

Description summary:
The card's title and first paragraph vary with the city's Official Alignment.

Alignment	Title	First paragraph
Radical Liberationist	Cornelius Leading a Radical Liberationist City	This is a city dedicated to the Liberation of Night. It has no desire to coddle Judgements or honour the Great Chain – not even by forging new links.
Radical Emancipationist	Cornelius Leading a Radical Emancipationist City	This is a city dedicated to Emancipation. Other ideologies are a distraction at best; other projects are a waste of resources.
Anti-Prehistoricist	Cornelius Leading Anti-Prehistoricists	It is against local ideology to create any beings for the sake of [...] human needs. Some citizens see this as economic wisdom – why create beasts that would take their jobs? [...] Some consider it simply wrong to make an animal for the factory floor.
