Description summary:
The description varies based on the 
Airs of the Games.
| Airs | Description |
|---|---|
| 1-18 | A Lion from Caution flexes in a bodybuilding competition. An entrant from Anthe glitters with crystalline muscles, [...] alternate interpretation of what it means to build one's body. A Clay Man watches [...]. "IF WE ALTER OURSELVES, WE ARE CALLED UNFINISHED." |
| 19-36 | A Lithe Tiger is just pipped to the finish line of this contest of agility. At the last moment, both a Spite alley-cat and a Nimble Pontificator from the Empire of Hands pass him by [...]. The cat and the ape [...] celebrate from a safe distance |
| 37-54 | The presence of a tattooists' duel in this tournament is a controversial one. "It should have been in the Tournament of Imagination," says a Belligerent Licentiate.
"No," replies a Painted Courier, "it should have been Intellect." |
| 55-72 | This is not a sanctioned bout at all! What appears at first to be a respectable skirmish following the Venderbight rules of pugilism is, in fact, nothing but a back-alley brawl. And people are betting on it! For shame. |
| 73-90 | Smiths and armourers compete in contests of blades and metals [...]. How best to hurt a body; how best to protect one. Crowds applaud when a blade punctures plate and beds itself in the meat beneath. The project of war, presented as a carnival game. |
| 91-100 | "Of course they'd finish with combat," opines a passer-by. "They want to end with glory. Who'd stand against a tiger?" |
