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.

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

The Test of the Obelisk is a test in the discipline of Architecture. Passing the test requires that you build the largest obelisk of its kind in your Region and holding the title of "Largest Obelisk" for a given time.

You can find out the heights required for the various kinds of obelisk in your current region by choosing "Meditate on Obelisks" from you "Tests" menu.

Obelisk Types

There are seven kinds of obelisks. Each type requires a different level of Obelisk Construction. Only the first level is currently unlocked.

  1. Desert Obelisk — Tech Level 1
    Needs to be held 3 Egyptian days. Made from Boards, Bricks, Clay, Dried Flax, Flint, Slate and Linen.
  2. Metallic Obelisk — Tech Level 2
    Needs to be held 6 Egyptian days.
  3. Unknown Type — Tech Level 3
  4. Unknown Type — Tech Level 4
  5. Unknown Type — Tech Level 5
  6. Unknown Type — Tech Level 6
  7. Unknown Type — Tech Level 7

Passing the Principle

The principle can be passed with a simple size 7 Desert Obelisk. It requires:

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

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.
