== Test Description ==
The ritual of Astrological Alignment has been known for as long as anyone can remember. As the ritual is completed, the two participants will immediately sense a special bond, or lack thereof.

Ritual of Astrological Alignment:
* Priest #1: Candle on Left Pillar
* Priest #1: Candle on Left Focus
* Priest #2: Candle on Right Focus
* Priest #2: Candle on Right Pillar
* Finally: Candles are lit in the order placed, by the Priest who placed each one.

==Tasks==
*Check the spiritual connection between you and another at a Common Altar
*Find 5 Aligned People
*Find 15 Aligned People
*Find 30 Aligned people
*Find 45 Aligned People
*Complete the Alignment ritual with 5 connected people from all three Houses or just your House at a University of Natural Philosophy

== Additional Information ==
In this test, the goal is to be part of a group of five people, all of whom are "astrologically aligned" with one another. All five people then pass the test simultaneously. Each member of the group must not have already passed the Test of Astrological Alignment '''with anyone in the current group before'''.

== Alignment ==

"Alignment" is a quality shared (or not shared) between two people.

There is roughly a 1/3 chance that any given two people are aligned with each other.

Alignment (or lack thereof) is a separate quality for every pair: if Person A is aligned with Person B, and Person B is aligned with Person C, it is not necessarily true that Person A is aligned with Person C.

== Testing Alignment ==
[[File:CommonAltar.png]]

Alignment between two people can be determined by a simple ritual performed at a Common Altar:

*First person places a [[Candle]] on the left pillar.
*First person places a candle on the left focus.
*Second person places a candle on the right focus.
*Second person places a candle on the right pillar.
*First person lights the candle on the left pillar.
*First person lights the candle on the left focus.
*Second person lights the candle on the right focus.
*Second person lights the candle on the right pillar.

After the ritual, each participant will receive a message. If they "have a feeling of emptiness", they are not aligned; if they "feel a connection", they are.

==Helper==

== Talent Points ==
* Find 5 Aligned People (1 point)
* Find 15 Aligned People (1 point)
* Find 30 Aligned People (1 point)
* Find 45 Aligned People (1 point)

Complete the Alignment Ritual with 5 Connected people from all three factions—This will give the last points left to get to 7 Total Talent points-- (Note faction requirement is a change for t9)

Note that if a group is found and completed before the player has found 15, 30 or 45 aligned people, passing the test will give however many Talent Points are required to give a total of 7 for the whole test. For example, if a player has found 15 aligned people (for 2 Talent Points) and then passes the test, they will receive 5 extra Talent Points to give a total of 7. '''It is not necessary to find 45 aligned people in order to pass the test''', some people have passed having only ever aligned with their group of 5.

== Passing the Test ==
Once a group of five coaligned people has assembled (i.e. each person in the group is aligned with the other four), they must visit a University of Natural Philosophy, each carrying one [[Medium Quartz]]. One person must pay a medium quartz to start the group check for astrological alignment, the other four then verify alignment as a part of that group within a few minutes (also paying a medium quartz each). If the group is indeed coaligned, all five will then pass the test simultaneously.

'''NOTE for Tale 9''': Find other people who's (sic) Astrological Alignment aligns with yours. '''All Three Factions''' must be represented—This is information found on Tasks menu (checkmark icon)when you hover over test graphic—blondie, Sept 28, 2019--

'''NOTE for Tale 10''': Requirements adjusted slightly. All Three Factions must be represented '''OR''' all must be from the same faction — This is information found on Tasks menu (checkmark icon)when you hover over test graphic—Amanti, June 26, 2021--{{L|en}}

Hyksos obelisk queue

2021-06-14T17:20:10Z

Kubilai: /* Hyksos Desert Obelisk Queue */

'''PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL QUEUES ARE COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. If you want to build your 20 cubit high obelisk out of the queue sequence nobody will stop you'''

'''PLEASE FOLLOW THE DISCUSSION IN HYKSOS FACTION CHANNEL THANKS! FOR THE GOOD OF ALL.'''

*The [[Test of the Obelisk]] requires that you build the largest Obelisk of its kind for the Hyksos.

*You must exceed the current largest Obelisk by at least a single cubit.

*Also, you must retain the title of largest Obelisk that The Hyksos has ever controlled for at least 2 days 8 hours (for a desert Obelisk.) while remaining inside the Hyksos territory.

*For each additional region The Hyksos has the support of when the Obelisk is constructed, this time is reduced by 1 hours 7 minutes 12 seconds (again for a Desert Obelisk.)

Cabbage Seeds

2021-06-10T22:03:26Z

Kubilai: Added information about multiple beetles trying to get more seeds.

{{Item
| name = Cabbage Seeds
| image = CabbageSeeds.jpg
| weight = 1
| bulk = 1
}}

== Sources ==
Cabbage seeds become available after Glassblowing. To receive cabbage seeds, players must find a new wild beetle, any discovered prior to unlocking of glassblowing will not count. Upon obtaining a wild beetle, a task is given to the players. The beetle can be donated to the University of Worship in exchange for cabbage seeds. One of each seed type is given.

NOTE: It is currently unknown if additional beetles/beetle types can be donated for additional packets of seeds. [Update: This was tested with two different beetles of different types and genders both found and picked up after glassblowing unlock with the same university and was unable to get more than one batch of seeds - the menu option disappeared after the first donation].

Trial accounts cannot receive seeds from the University, and can only obtain seeds from other players.

== Uses ==
Cabbage Seeds are used to grow [[Cabbage]] on Grass

While there is a seed in your inventory, a Plant... menu will appear on the Self menu. Selecting the Plant menu, then the desired seed, will plant the vegetable seed.

== Reproduction ==
Successfully harvesting a vegetable will give you your seed back, and killing a vegetable plant (either through lack of water or overwatering) will leave a seed behind on the ground. You need never worry about running out of vegetable seeds (as long as you don't leave them on the ground and walk away), though of course you can only work as many simultaneous beds as you have seeds.

Reproducing vegetable seeds—getting more seeds back from a harvest—See current research
