Description summary:
The description varies based on the 
Airs of the Games.
| Airs | Description |
|---|---|
| 1-18 | The Diptych Painter puts forth a valiant effort in a minor contest of portraiture. Neither of his portraits, however, come close to the visceral realities depicted in the atavistic charcoal drawings of the Black-Fingered Scrivener from the Chelonate. |
| 19-36 | […] contest of soliloquising. The Crocodile-Masked Orator from Visage is self-serious and pompous. A thespian from Adam's Way wins little sympathy with her lament […]. A contestant from Mutton Island runs away with the contest, […] by making the judges laugh. |
| 37-54 | Here is a contest of silence. Who can be the quietest? Who can suggest with their quiet the greatest depth of meaning? The noise here – or lack of it – has texture. Each utterance not released is a brushstroke. |
| 55-72 | A delegate from the Grand Sanatoria is arguing with an attendant. She appears to believe that […] her artwork is worth more than her meagre share of points. You look over – the art in question is splashed upon her body, vivid paints staining her bandages. |
| 73-90 | Poets brood in a corner. They complain that theirs was due to be the tentpole event, until the Captivating Princess took an interest in another category and refused to judge anything else. They frame their grievances […] safely out of her earshot. |
| 91-100 | A passing painter dares to ask a tiger about the importance of imagination to her culture. "There is no greater pleasure than a fine piece of art," she purrs. "And the more we can imagine, the less the enemy can surprise us with." |
