Answer:
What is not a ball but yet a sphere, and holds all lands and people year after year?
It is something you will never see again.
It is where kings, queens, knights and bishops go to war together.
What goes through towns and over hills but never moves?
Four kings of whom I am one lord. Often on deck but never on board. Though I have a large heart, I am always seen at war. During which I always wear a suit, but never a suit of armor. Who or what am I?
Though not a plant, has leaves. Though not a beast, has spine. Though many wouldn't need this thing, It's more valuable than wine.
