#caissa's-crusaders
Working on a playtest version of a chess RPG I want to make, called Caissa's Crusaders. The playtest will feature 64 different piece types, out of the ~150 I've already created, and I will add definitive rules to the game before I open the playtest to the public.

I'm adding a flavor text system to Caissa's Crusaders, but I'm not quite funny enough to come up with 150+ different piece jokes, so I'm crowdsourcing this to you!

I'll post the list of pieces as well as a form to suggest a flavor text blurb for them. You can make as many submissions as you like.

The currency system of Caissa's Crusaders is checkers, because they're both another board game piece, *and* they look like a coin. The Merchant and the Thief are both pieces to give you extra checkers, but they do it in two different ways.

I'm working on some piece info for Caissa's Crusaders and I need advice. These are currently the four "royal" pieces I have so far, and I want to know if they're balanced or not.
