Description summary:
The success description varies by 
Object of Historical Study.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| 100 - 130, 220 - 240, 300 - 320, 500 | The First City's fall defines every subsequent event in the history of the Neath. It is the moment of transition from a world of shadows and beasts to a world of men; that is to say, the boundary between pre-history and History. |
| 210 | Did the First City war against Hell? Is every Fallen city doomed to the same fate? Surely they would have been even more outmatched than London. Which begs the question: Could a Sixth City win the battle, if and when they fight it? […] An Eighth? |
| 400 | A myth about Nicator's life claims that he once sacked the First City, and brought back from it a collection of 77 jade statues, each one a life-sized depiction of a twelve-foot tall warrior. |

A Historiographic Tangle
Is what you are writing entirely, strictly speaking, plausible? Hardly. But should you throw it at an unsuspecting academia, will they know enough about the First City to question it?
