When you describe each piece, please include an image matching the ones used in your diagram, so that one can easily tell which pieces are where.

Is it not obvious by my initial description, e.g. Knobby Humanoid for Pawn?

No, it is not obvious. For one thing, I am not familiar with the piece graphics you chose to use, and they are quite sparse and minimalistic. For another, your game includes pieces that are not in Chess. What I am asking for should be standard practice. I normally include individual piece graphics with the piece descriptions in my games, because it helps would-be players connect the piece descriptions to what they see in the diagram, which helps them learn the game faster.

The king can never move triagonally. The palace will not allow it.

There is not enough detail provided to understand this game. What is the relationship between the different boards? Is this a 3D game? What is triagonal movement?

Shhh, Kuyan! (or Judith, I don't know which is your given name and family name) It makes the King seem imbalanced if you say that!

Fergus: Yes, it is a 3D game. the boards are connected orthogonally by their centres and all other connections are implied from that. Triagonally means by using the non-standard diagonal (ND) also known as the 3D diagonal, or 'triagonal' as analogy with diagonal modifying 2 dimensions of location.
