Description summary:
The description varies based on the 
Airs of the Games.
| Airs | Description |
|---|---|
| 1-18 | Over here [...] is a contest of [...] debate. Entrants from Codex and Whither have fled rather than deal with [...] the philosophers from the Square of Lofty Words [...]. The judges are seriously debating awarding the win to the Jovial Contrarian, who has not shown up at all. |
| 19-36 | They say there is a contest of riddles going on here somewhere. You ask where it is being held, but nobody will give you a straight answer. |
| 37-54 | A Pallid Archivist [...] butts heads with a Rutilant Philosopher [...]. This appears to be a contest of logic [...]; the Philosopher lambasts the Archivist for [...] appeals to history, while the Archivist accuses the Philosopher of rank solipsism. The crowd thins – rapidly. |
| 55-72 | F.F. Gebrandt is a judge in the 'contest alchemical', which takes place upon a gazebo-shaped patch of singed grass. It appears that a tobacconist from Rosegate is responsible [...]. Gebrandt – waving away smoke – appraises him from a safe distance. |
| 73-90 | An unofficial contest of biology is drawing a significant crowd. A Chelonite Monster-Hunter initially draws admiring noises with her peligin eyes, but [...] the competition [...] descend into [...] one-upmanship between some Starved Visitors and [...] courageous Rubbery Men. |
| 91-100 | There is much to-do about the choice of chess for the main aspect of the Tournament. "Well, it makes sense," says a Fastidious Clerk. "It is a game of war; of tactics." [...] His cufflinks gleam like mirror-shards. "Tigers are a pragmatic people, is all." |
