[pjsxtdrk] Royal fairy chess endgames

There are a variety of possibilities for royal pieces for fairy chess.  Multiple royal pieces: game ends when all are captured, or when any one of them are captured.  Promotion into a royal piece.  Perhaps the game doesn't end as long as there exists the possibility of a promotion to a royal piece, effectively making all pawns royal.

Amidst all the possibilities might be very interesting mechanisms impossible in regular chess.
