It’s a game of intelligence, wits and strategy. It was said that this game was developed as a way for the Kings and War Lords of old to foresee the events that may take place in an upcoming battle. The outcome of the Chess game would tell them if their side would emerge victorious or if they would suffer defeat.
However in Novus, it’s a different game altogether. For the warriors have reached a level where the true power of their Race is revealed. They have begun to don the White armors and have developed their skills in battle. Strategy, teamwork and precision are needed to win to become a Champion of their race. No one can be too sure of themselves.
So what’s your move?
