This solo task becomes available by completing 'Order Squared'.

Upon completion of the previous task:

Noble Sivrn says 'It is most impressive that you've managed to solve the puzzle of order, have you attempted the [alignment] puzzles?'

You say, 'Alignment puzzles?'

Noble Sivrn says 'There are several puzzles of alignment that might prove to be a challenge for you, if you would care to make an [attempt].'

You say, 'I will make an attempt!'

You have been assigned the task 'Realign the Lines'.

Noble Sivrn says 'Best of luck, I wish you continued success.'

You say, 'Hail, Mahatototarit'

Mahatototarit says 'I enjoy puzzles of all types, and often at the same time... Perhaps I could interest you in a game of [alignment] or [order]?'

You say, 'Alignment'

Mahatototarit says 'Bring me a Token of Alignment, and you may attempt to realign my Eastern game board.'

The tokens drop in the pyramids from random Efreeti mobs. They are marked as QUEST ITEM and are tradable.

Turn in your Token of Alignment.

Mahatototarit says 'You must realign the current column to the CENTER, let me know if you would rather play [align three], [align four], or [align five]... Or perhaps, something more [challenging]. Return to me when you are [finished] aligning the board.'

Look at your task and request the appropriate one:

Speak with Mahatototarit about puzzles
Solve the game of align three
Solve the game of align four
Solve the game of align five
Report your success to Noble Sivrn

You say, 'Align three'

The board then moves the NPCs that are not needed. Solve the puzzle and tell Mahatototarit that you are 'finished'.

Mahatototarit says 'Well done, you have correctly solved the puzzle.'

If you fail he will tell you that you did not complete it in the minimum amount of moves so, plan carefully!

Mahatototarit says 'A noble attempt, unfortunately you did not solve the puzzle in the minimum number of moves.'

Rinse, repeat, until you have done all the stages: Align 4 and 5.
He will place the game pieces in for the required task stage you requested.
Then the task asks you to hail Noble Sivrn.


You say, 'Hail, Noble Sivrn'

Noble Sivrn shakes his head in admiration, 'I would have never imagined that you could solve the alignment puzzles so quickly... Perhaps you could even solve the more [challenging] alignment puzzles.

You gain experience!!

(Over 100% AA in 75 with full experience towards AA)

This leads into the next task in the series, Broken Lines.

Careful tho: this only applies if Mahatototarit says 'You must realign the current column to the CENTER...' - he does sometimes ask you to realign to the EAST or WEST.
Align three

What Daebil said. It is kind of sad that I have to look through all the comments on here to find this one at the bottom.

In the quest write up at the top anyone reading it will see' Mahatototarit says 'You must realign the current column to the CENTER, let me know if you would rather play [align three], [align four], or [align five]... Or perhaps, something more [challenging]. Return to me when you are [finished]'
aligning the board.'

You may not get them on the Center as your starting row it could be East or West.

For the person handing in the token they will see Mahatotoarit specifically say if they are to align them on East, West or Center. The row they start on is the Starting row. Now hold on to your hats folks because this means the remaining row is the free or swap row. They can't block each others way as you move them to the target row but you can move them back to the starting row. As someone mentioned it is the Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Similar to the toy of a child with 3 rods sticking up and plastic rings to move back and forth.

And just to make it a bit easier here is a link to another page about it http://www.bonzz.com/efreeti.htm

For my positioning I just did an about face from Mahatotoarit and faced East.

If what I have posted makes it clearer then by all means move it to the top. I won't hold my breath though. There should be a vote based system that moves the best answer to where it needs to be.
