It doesn't say whether the King is exempted from morphing, or whether a resulting piece would stay royal if it does.

Note that a piece that moves as the piece in the FIDE setup that started on the file it is currently on is known as a Querquisite, and that the pieces used here are very much related to this. So it might be good to refer to this, for better historical context.

This is basically just a sub-variant of Avatar Chess on a 9x9 board, with different, more regular assignment of the morph targets to the squares. The only 'novelty' is that there are now also some squares where pieces don't morph.

And what is the point of including three basically identical diagrams? I would suggest reducing this to a single one.
