"Toman, have you decided yet?"
On a table in the lobby of the building, Toman's Workshop, the old owner and another friend of his sat opposite the other with a board in between them. It was a game called Ruler's Chess. It was a more complicated version of the ancient human civilisation's chess. The game was filled with new rules and pieces, with the board now one column and row bigger. There were so many complications added into the old chess, which made Ruler's Chess more difficult to play. However, it was a favourite pastime for vestige-smiths.
As an occupation that dealt not just with forging, but also calculations, vestige-smiths had to explore different methods to train their responses and mental processing speed. Ruler's Chess was one such method, and due to its challenging and competitive nature, it became a favourite hobby for most experienced vestige-smiths. This was even more so for those of the School of Analytical Reasoning.
