Overview
The test of the Obelisk requires that you build the largest Obelisk of its kind in your Region. You must exceed the current largest Obelisk by just a single cubit, but you must retain the title of largest Obelisk for at least 1 Egyptian week. 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.
The Test of the Obelisk requires participants to build the largest obelisk of one of (eventually) four types in their region. It must not merely be the largest obelisk still standing there -- but rather, the largest obelisk ever.
Once your obelisk has stood for one week, unsurpassed in your region, you pass the test.
Principle
Principle of the Obelisk appears in the to do tab list as Obelisk and consists of:
- Learn Project Management
- Create Bricks
- Create Boards
- Gather Slate
- Harvest Flax
- Dry Flax in a Drying Rack or Flax Hammock
- Gather Clay
- Make Linen
- Gather Flint from Clay Beds
- Build a Small Construction Site
- Complete a size 7 or larger Obelisk
Level Required: 4
You must have completed the Principles of Architecture to begin the Test.
Has been opened first in Queen's Retreat.
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
- Desert Obelisk
- Made from Boards, Bricks, Clay, Dried Flax, Flint, Slate and Linen
- Requires Obelisk Construction (1)
- Cut Stone Obelisk
- Made from Cut Stone, Clay, Crushed Eggshells, Candle and Medium Quarts
- Requires Obelisk Construction (2)
- Hardwood Obelisk
- Made from Treated Boards, Nails, Gold Wire, Beeswax, Copper Straps and Candle
- Requires Obelisk Construction (3)
- Marble Obelisk
- Made from Gold Wire, Rabbit Pelt, Dried Flax, Cobra Skin and various types of Marble.
- Requires Obelisk Construction (4)
Build Queues
Many regions have a build queue which they maintain. Many consider it polite to check whether such a queue exists before building another obelisk in that region.
