Description
Courier chess was a predecessor to modern day chess, featuring an 8x12 table with 24 pieces each. The courier moved like the modern bishop, as opposed to the… medieval bishop which moved like a heteronormative knight. Couriers form the majority of a carapacian army’s mage divisions, providing magical support at the squad level.
