The King will be a towering effigy supported by a raft of driftwood, in honour of the Drowned Man. He will float – until he will not.

Scapegoat

[…]

You scour[...], sourcing tangled weeds and warped wreck and driftwood in the whorling, organic shapes. Pieces of detritus are accepted or rejected[...] by an inscrutable rubric, but a number of your scavenged parts find a home in the King's looming body.

Description summary:
First paragraph varies with Airs of a Barren Zee value after playing the action.

Airs	First Paragraph
1-33	[…] The effigy forming before you is lumpen and sodden, half-drowned before he is even born. He has tendons of kelp and limpet-warts, barkskin forearms […] It is a body made of derelict and wreckage, slumped and dripping on the beach.
34-66	[…] Some advocate for the Scalloped King, with head crowned in shells. […] Cornucopian King, with fishtails and weeds spilling from a gaping mouth. And then there is the Starving King, perforated by thorns of coral […] Few fishermen advocate for this aspect.
67-100	[…] A gaggle of Drownies observe from deeper waters, occasionally offering advice to locals on the proper placement of kelp. "The real one's shoulders are wider," burbles one. The Custodial Chef closes his eyes […] he is not used to constructive criticism.
