Framework
10 ~ Framework
Our current Tak board has 64 squares in eight ranks and eight files. Now that we can count upto Seven we can begin by writing this information into the first line of squares. However we needs must leave the 8th square blank for now as it an unknown. The second row can give Ergen city names to these numbers in Skarpi order travelling from Belen to Myr T.
We can then place an angel below these two end cities, namely Fair Geisa and Tall Kirel. Then we can add Andan and Ordal at squares six and seven although that's about as far as we can go with that one.
The winning Tak position before Lanre Day should be entered at line four in skyline pictogram form. Seven white standing stones and a big White capstone on the end. Lyra fans may argue that the first stone should also be a Capstone.
Beneath this we can draw the stones showing the full effect of Lanre Day.
Six flat black stones. A singleupright white at seven and a black capstone on the end.
The Chandrian who each betrayed a city each can come next in Adem order. 1-6 then a gap at lucky seven with Alaxel sited beneath the Black Capstone tower.
Opposing the7 we might then write out the Order Amyr. However, listing the masters in admissions order doesn't seem right when we have names like Gibea and Sir Savian to play with, not to mention 'the eight paths of Atreyon!' We also have insufficient data to do anything much about filling in their positions in this lucky line, and even less if we then wished to allocate the final line to the Sithe octet. So I suppose we shall just have to pencil those loose titles in for now and maybe come back later to complete this 8x8 framework.
