[ One morning upon Regina's sitting table is a simple present. A chess set. However, it is far from a traditional piece. There is no King on the White side, only a Queen bearing the mark of Koriim. Around her are six knights instead of two and each piece bears a unique symbol. They are old things, not seen outside of text books now and harken back to the days when the people prayed more to the gods in earnest and received their blessings. When Queen's had warriors that were always blessed by the gods of Mokosh. Instead of rooks, there are two rogues and they as well bear a singular mark on each piece of trickster gods who lent their blessings to those fleet of hand and sharp of eye. One bishop is male, the other female and finally two mages – one male and female – both holding staves. Like all the other pieces the last four hold marks as well. Those of bishops are of blessing for quick tongues and the ability to see through lies and the mages a bit more complex as they embody each of the elements. The final three pieces are in the shape of pawns and bear no mark.
Each piece is glass and detailed beyond what any normal set would see. The board itself made of polished, ancient oak.
With it is a simple note. ]
The earliest of chess sets on Mokosh were devised by royalty to display their strengths. They only used pawns when they had no others.
[ Odd perhaps, but one of the Black Knights has no head. ]
