Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of 
Lead: Partial Historiography.
| Lead: Partial Historiography | Description |
|---|---|
| 520 | It is a pleasant afternoon, to conjure up two eminent historians and watch them bash each other with spades. It is only more pleasant to discover that they are […] mostly intact in the Grand Sanatorium, and thus you can hand them the spades yourself. |
| 521 | […]Some posit an unbroken Axile-lineage, intact since the hitching of their fortune to the[…]Bazaar. Others postulate that, exposed to the Neath, the Rubbery Men are something entirely new. That this corresponds with the Fluke-position is left unsaid. |
| 522 | […]accounts of the Goat-Demons of old Hell. One[…]a St Eligius as responsible for their facility with both language and limb. Another[…]St Trezigor was responsible for the same. A third suggests that rather[…]the Goat-Demons instead were visited upon the Saint. |
| 523 | […]Benthic and Summerset. The latter[…]equal exchange between Hell and the Fourth[…]. The former[…]corruptions of the Is-Not upon that unfortunate city induced Hell's vainglorious leaders towards collapse. You[…]wonder if they were[…]a bad influence upon each other. |

Failure
None more cruel than a well placed footnote
You compare polar opposite approaches to epochs, eras and interdicts. You read criticism, both reasoned and otherwise. […] You emerge with no clearer understanding of what occurred in the murky reaches of Neathy history, and a migraine.
