Knights of Tezoth

-- By one I mean that the image only brings me melancholy, lost like a grain of sand among many others, but also that it may be utterly displeasing to me — that I will note separately in the comments. By two — that there are individual moments that may please the eye, but I shall not remember that face by tomorrow's day. By three — that the appearance of this participant is in all ways proper and noble. Four means that the participant's appearance evokes sincere admiration in my heart. And with the sacred number five I am prepared to honor but a single noble lady.
Gloomy Sky: 2
-- This is no place for a man in these contests, but age was merciful to Lord Axel's face, and the scars upon it serve as known testimony to a worthy soul
Milk Chocolate: 3
-- Impeccable and modest in all things, yet with dignity and some hidden mystery — many ladies could take this as a model
Scarlet Blade: 1
Absurd attire, coldness in the gaze, and the prose of conversation — this cannot stir a man's heart
Justice: 1
What I said a line above holds true here, and her detached demeanor suggests that this contest is itself quite alien to the lady
Dawn Steel: 3
Though his belly — that evidence of gluttony — mars a good fellow, you shall find no brighter smile among the knights
Joy: 1
She looks overly plain, but joy should be just so. Alas, I observe no elegance here
Catharsis: 4
I cannot hide my admiration for her figure — slender and tall as a cypress, and nature was not stingy with the elegance of feminine curves either. Among the enamels I also find vermilion and black nobler than all the rest. And she carries herself worthily among people, sometimes concealing sharp words, as a rose conceals a sharp thorn among lush leaves and beautiful flowers
Wind: 4
Here is a quite different charm — there, a daughter of the earth, where visible beauties are mingled with sharp wit and a fiery soul; here, a creature of the air, passing by us like a young breeze, untainted, yet lighting the way for others, like heavenly light on a fine and pleasant sunny day.
Virtuosity: 1
This is a man. I have nothing more to say.
Cold: 1
An ominous gaze and ornate attire — such things appeal only to fetishists...
Truth: 1
I look, but my gaze passes through, and I can find no delight here...
Sincerity: 1
This is a sugary man, displeasing to me; the arrogance of his gaze is backed by neither courage nor strength, as if he were saying: "Pray, sir, be so kind as to strike me across the face with your gauntlet"
Wisdom: 4
Oh enchantress! Not without reason is Wisdom held by us but slightly lower among the goddesses than Faithfulness and Love. An open attire without vulgarity, elegance of features, and a cunning gaze, all together with the wisdom of her speech, is nearly worthy of the highest place here — but only nearly...
Destructive Power: 2
I shall note her self-assurance, but overall the style seems quite alien to me...
Moon Shadow: 5
Many worthy maids and ladies have I had occasion to see
My eye is sensitive to visible beauty
But too rarely has my mind been captivated
And my heart remained in silence

But here I see a lady who is close to the crown of elegance
All here is beautiful and pleasing to the soul
Down to the mystery of her scarlet eyes, which promise
Both ruin and delight at all times

The stream of her refined speech is ready to outshine
All other flowers of today's diversions
If only I could be so eloquent!
I would surely prove that I am right
Awarding victory to Alcyre d'Arcrede
