This is a basic riddle designed to teach new players the levels of power. The details of it are to the individual storyteller, I use it as a lock to the central room of the manse containing the hearthstone.

Information

- In the center of the manse there is a large circular slab. - The slab features four concentric circles with five holes each. - Somewhere else in the manse the characters find a box with the pieces for the GodsAndFey game. - The larger pieces have the same diameter as the holes in the ground. - The solutions seems simple: Put the pieces in the correct holes to open the lock.

Solution

- put the five Solar pieces in the inner circle - the Lunar pieces in the second cirle - the Sidereals come next - and finally the Dragonbloods

Tweaks

Too easy? OK how about some extra requirements:

- not only the circle, but also the order within a circle is important: -- Dragonbloods sorted by seasons -- Sidereals sorted by their distance to the sun -- Lunars and Solars sorted by the phase

- where to put the "No.1" of each circle: -- according to the direction of the elemental pool -- according to the true east
