Description summary:
The first paragraph changes if you have a 
Newly-Cast Crown of the City of London. The rest is about a painting in the office – a result of your decision in getting to Balmoral.
| Crown | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| No | The building has the same rather grim and uninspired form as Factory VIII, but the Tracklayers have tried to enliven it with a few decorative elements. |
| Yes | Next to the door, someone has hung a commemorative plate. It is painted in your likeness, wearing your newly-cast crown. There is a gilded trim like a wreath of mushrooms. |
| Condition | Painting Description |
|---|---|
 Used Hellworms to get to Balmoral | Above the desk is a painting – not the work of a professional artist – depicting a heroic Tracklayer holding the reins of a Hellworm. The Hellworm's fiery maw has been rendered in loving detail by someone who has obviously seen it close-up. |
 Detoured through Parabola to get to Balmoral | […] Those curves are the Parabolan landscape; that thick yellow brushwork represents a smoky air. And those thin, quick zigzags in the grass – those must be the tracks that slither and dart about when no train happens to be passing over them. |
