Race Piece

The Race Piece (種のコマ, Tane no Koma) is a chess piece bestowed upon the representative leader of each race. The Imanity owns the King, the Flügel own the Queen, the Elves own a Rook, the Werebeasts own a Pawn, and the rest have yet to be revealed. It is later revealed that, by conquering all the Exceed races, and thus having all the 16 chess pieces, one attains the right to challenge Tet for the title of One True God. As all the 16 Race Pieces are needed to have a full chess board that you need to challenge Tet. Tet did not create the concept of the race pieces, Riku and the "179 Ghosts" of Imanity did.
