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 hold 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.
- Needs to be held for 14 Egyptian days.
- Needs to be held for 21 Egyptian days.
- Hardwood Obelisk — Tech Level 4
- Unknown Type — Tech Level 5
- Unknown Type — Tech Level 6
- Unknown Type — Tech Level 7
Passing the Principle
The principle can be passed with a simple size 7 Desert Obelisk. It requires:
- 231 Bricks
- 23 Boards
- 24 Clay
- 3 Dried Flax
- 1 Flint
- 7 Linen
- 5 Slate
- 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 construction site.
WARNING: You won't be able to disassemble or salvage it if you have passed the test with it.
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.
- Adn's Obelisk Queue
- Cat's Claw Ridge Obelisk Queue
- Falcon Bay Queue
- Heaven's Gate Queue
- Khmun Obelisk Queue
- Meroe Obelisk Queue
- Nomad's Paradise Obelisk Queue
