Description[]
This piece depicts an undead king with a high crown. This piece is known as the King and can only be moved a single square in any direction on its turn. If it is ever directly threatened, it must be the piece that is moved on the next turn. If it ever reaches a state where the King cannot be moved to safety, the game is over. At this point it is traditional to shout Kingmate!
Kings, as it is known in the common tongue, is a game that has its origins somewhere in the far east of the Thurian continent. Traders along the lotus road were the first to spread the game among the Hyborian kingdoms, where it quickly became popular among the nobility and merchant classes.
It is typically played on a square checkered board that is eight squares wide and eight squares long. Each piece has a specific type of movement associated with it and usually the white pieces are the first to move.
In a variation of the game that has become popular with the nobility, players roll bone dice to see which type of piece they are allowed to move each round. These pieces have obviously been carved by somebody familiar with the Exiled Lands and the events that took part in its creation, though some of the pieces are clearly juvenile fantasy fulfilments.
