| Style | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| none | ? |
| Attenuated Remembered Celestial Mycologene | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now. |
| First City | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now. The monuments and cenotes were archaic even when the city was first formed; they give no impression of that first bustle of life. |
| Bethlehem | The city's nightmare-face is the only thing tourists tend to notice – forgetting that it was born for a specific purpose, and inhabited by believers. |
| School of Beatrice True Beatrice | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now: the courtyards and fountains are merely quaint. |
| Porous | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now; visitors will insist on comparing it, inaccurately, to Venderbight. |
| Ivory | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now: the brass orrery and the murals remain, but there's little sense of the life that surrounded them. |
| Auroral | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now; visitors tend to regard it as a sort of elegant light-show. |
| Nocturnal | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now. The darkness, once fundamental to its politics, has now become a novelty attraction. Visit a place you cannot see! Heighten all your other senses! |
| Bazaarine | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now. Visitors puzzle over the carvings, the inscriptions on buildings, the whelk in stained glass, and they forget that anyone really lived inside this riddle-box. |
| Terpsichorean | FATE |
| Heliconian | FATE |
| Cartographical | FATE |
| Cenotaphic | The earliest days of the city are hard to imagine now; it has become little more than a cut-price necropolis. |
