🨢d8: Moose
🨟a2: Sparrow

, , and : Eagles (90 degree angle to the sautoir) on a4 & f1
. (control c2, e4 & g4, and especially prevents ...Ke5,
a moose (45 degree angle with the sautoir) on d8, the Md8 controls b7 & f7
a Sparrow (135 degree angle with the sautoir) in a2; the Sparrow a2 controls b3 & f6
and Hamsters (180 degree angle with the sautoir) in b1, b8, c1 & c8, the Hb1 controls b3 & e4.
pao: rook needing a sautoir to capture
. Thus, a promotion f7xe8 or a move by Nf5 would check the black king by discovering the Pao f8

: In Royal Dynasty (an invention of the Slovenian problemist J. Nastran),
a side may have several "Kings", who have no royal prerogatives, who may be left in check and captured,
except... if only one is left !

Solution

{

} 1...Ka6-b7 ? {seems forced, but no, it is only the thematic try, since it will be played on the 4th move

} 1...h7-h8=K {("parry" the check because now a6 is a non-royal King, like h8 itself !)
} 2.Kf7-e8 {(is cooking up a big surprise)
} Bh1*e4 3.h2-h1=K {(now it is e8 who is a non-royal King)
} Be4*h1 {(new consecration of the Ke8 -- thanks to the bishop! -- who, reset, can castle !)
} 4.0-0-0 Ka6-b7# ! {the impostor king can afford this privity thanks to his colleague h8.

Let us specify that the favourable prejudice applies concerning the right to castling of the rook,
which is not forced to have played the move preceding the diagram (...Ta8+):
there may have been a white pseudo-king capture like ...Nxe4.}
