The Metrics... should they be important in the coming weeks.
I went through 7 different videos, in addition to my own tally... as I did it.
1. The Pieces ARE NOT random as is being said.
EVERYONE gets the same 60 pieces as follows:
White Pawns - 15
Conversion Pawns - 8
Deletion Pawns - 7
White Rooks - 3
White Knights - 14
Black Knights - 2
White Bishops - 9
White Queens - 2
Things to note:
1 Queen is found in CoB - my theory is it represents Savathun.
1 Queen is found amongst the secrets in the Nether - Mara Sov
Both Black Knights are found in the Edz... now in the Dark Forest the shadows might confuse you but the other one is clearly Black/Gray as the base is a different color.
So, I might be wrong about there being 2 Black Knights... but there is at least 1 for sure.
9 Bishops - most likely represents the Nine.
3 Rooks - my theory is; represents... 3 disciples of the Gardener.
7 Deletion Pawns - 7 deaths next year.
8 Conversions - 8 people will switch sides
This is complete speculation, 14-15 White Knights?
I have no clues to what that might represent.
And in fact, the theory might be coincidence respective the values correlating to people. They might be a cipher (key) or puzzle - the metrics.
😇👍💠
2nd Note: The King is the only piece missing. Because there's never been a king... yet 👀.
When it comes to the Flower Game.
We can change that.
The more I ponder about it, I only think there is actually ONE BLACK KNIGHT, the shadows in the Dark Forest are probably meant to confuse us.
IF there is ONE Black Knight... that represents our character.
"The Knife".
They're all white pieces except for 1.
And we've been a pawn/tool since the beginning...
The Winnower doesn't need an army (black)... the God of "Nothing" & "no one".
Just a Knife.
Us. The Black Knight. One of the conversions too... I think there can be overlap.
For example, a white pawn converted into the sole Black Knight (Us).
Or
A Rook that's actually a White Pawn that gets deleted. [spoiler](Mara Sov)[/spoiler]
Or
Bishops that get converted into White Pawns (The fractured factions of the Nine).
Or
A White Pawn that advances to the back line black side?
Possible Spoilers:
[spoiler]That's Crow I think. I'm taking a little liberty... because a pawn becomes a Queen when that happens, but I interpret that as Crow becoming the FIRST Awoken King by the end of next year - my theory.[/spoiler]
3rd Note:
My analysis was fairly straight forward: here's how you could replicate it.
I reviewed 7 different guides 'showing' acquisition of all the pieces. "Showing" being relevant... as for most of the pieces in the videos it showed each piece being acquired.
I was able to compare each video section by section to confirm the pieces were not random.
The outliers were the 9 pieces found from the Nether secrets... ONLY one video ACTUALLY 'showed' all 9 pieces. However, by cross referencing the excerpts for the secret gained pieces in the other 6 videos and against my own tally, as I did it, I was able to confirm those pieces are also the same for everyone.
I tallied the sections in each guide... then made sure each tally equaled 60. Then combined the metrics for each section to get the full breakdown of pieces.
I was going to be lazy about it... but Eso's vid didn't show every secret piece.
Fallout's vid... not every secret piece.
Kackis... not every piece.
GamerTV... nope.
2 more ectaras, lol.
But I found one that did.
I couldn't be lazy about it. I did my homework.

White Pawns - 15 Conversion Pawns - 8 Deletion Pawns - 7 White Rooks - 3 White Knights - 14 Black Knights - 2 White Bishops - 9 White Queens - 2 Here is how I am thinking about it. I am no lore nor story expert so take it for whatever it’s worth: It’s all a balancing act. White Pawns: 15- pawns who are still active in place. Characters who if and when positioned correctly could have an important impact on the story, or already have. Conversation Pawns: 8- like you suggested: Likely characters who switched sides. Think a character who changed alignment: This could be characters with one name, then got a new one when they switched sides/ new name for new alignment. Possibilities: 1. Uldren Sov - Crow 2. Prince Uldren - The Fanatic Fikrul 3. Calus - Disciple of The Winess 4. Elsie Bray - The Exo Stranger 5. Rekkana - The First Disciple 6. Felwinter - Rasputin’s Lie 7. Nazarec - Final God of Pain 8. Shiro-4 - Vanguard Scout Deletion Pawns: 7: - as you suggest- character who have big impact but have died or will. I think already did. Possibilities: 1. Cayde-6 2. Amanda Holiday 3. Resputin 4. Sagira 5. Lakshma 6. Fikrul 7. Targe If you add Deletion and Conversion Pawns together, you get 15. That balances out the White Pawns 15. White Knights- 14, haven’t reached this yet. Probably characters who stand up fully and will always be on the good side of the story. White Rooks- 3 - probably the three branches of the Vanguard. Black Knights- 2 - probably two characters who either were bad and held strong amounts of power but will come to the Vanguard side. Or two who are Vanguard but could switch. White Bishops- 9 - likely The Nine. Characters who move throughout the battle field. Often important but less noticeable. If you add the bishops, black knights, and white rooks together, you get 14. 14 totals and equals/ balances out the 14 white knights. Again going back to being equal and balanced. White Queens 2- I believe you are correct on who those are. No Kings- That is because both kings were taken out. The Witness and The Traveler In the end it’s a huge game of chess circling out balance between the Light and Darkness.
-
Three Rooks - the Vanguard, I feel these represent. Rooks charge forward or fall back in a straight line. A vanguard is a first wave of offense or the last line of defense. The White Knights - a white knight is seen as a symbol of heroism, of rescue, or a feat of such. What do we normally do when we do a mission? Perhaps this is the amount of missions or quests we get in the next expansion.

mythTamerにより編集済み: 4/26/2025 5:28:47 PMThere’s also four Kings missing, since it seems to be around two chessboards. There’s Four of the Nine that are against the guardians Or I could be wrong, if there’s like 16 knights.. it’s probably something else
