The pieces are in an impossible position whether the white pawn is moving up the board or left to right under Earth chess rules.
Black king is under check so it must be black's turn to move. On white's previous move it had to both place the King in check with the Knight and advance the pawn to promote it if moving up the board or advance the pawn to place the King under double check if moving left to right. Since Earth chess rules only allow moving one piece per turn it's impossible to reach this position.
Assuming Norrathian chess is largely Earth chess rules except each player moves 2 pieces per turn, then white's final turn they moved the pawn and knight, captured black's 3rd last and possibly 4th last piece as well and then black conceded the game and no one cleaned up after they were done.
