82. High Priestess and 83. Minister. A brief discussion with Joe Joyce about these two pieces, borrowed from his Two Large Shatranj Variants for my own Short Sliders variant, led me to present this pair for this weekend.
The High Priestess moves one space diagonally, or leaps two spaces diagonally or like a Knight. (FAN) The Minister, on the other hand, moves on space orthogonally, or leaps two spaces orthogonally or like a Knight (WDN).
(My apologies for not having move diagrams ready for these; they really should have them. I'll see if I can't rectify that by the end of the weekend.)
I think both of these pieces would have a good presence on a chess-variant board.
