Demonstrated by Ay in Queen's Retreat on 2008-12-19.

The Test of the Obelisk requires that you build the largest obelisk of its kind in your Region. You must exceed the largest obelisk ever built by at least a single cubit and then retain the title of largest obelisk for at least 3 Egyptian days. By meditating on obelisks (Tests-menu), you can sense what the various kinds of obelisks are and the heights of the obelisks that came before.

Principle-sized Desert Obelisk

A size 7 Desert Obelisk (for principle) is made from:

Your obelisk will be built in a Small Construction Site.

NOTE: You can disassemble your obelisk after building it and passing the principle, with NO loss of materials (apart from the small construction site).

Obelisk Types

Build Queues

Many regions have a build queue which they maintain. Some consider it polite to check whether such a queue exists before building another obelisk in that region, and consider violating the queue a form of griefing. Others contend that queues game (cheat) the system.
