About the adventure

A dark low fantasy world inspired by ancient Egypt, where the 42 noble houses of the nomes (actually called sepat) vie for power as a dynasty falls, all wishing to provide the next Great King, called Pharoah. Each house descends from at least a demigod, (according to legend anyway), but seven of them claim direct descent from a true god, and are the mightiest houses. Each Great House leads a consortium of 4 to 7 other houses as vassals, and each house has their own take on the state religion, placing their own primary god and the gods of their vassal houses in more prominent positions in the pantheon, making this a religious struggle as much as political. Complicating matters, great nations to the south and east threaten the borders in this time of turmoil, and an ancient threat, long forgotten and rarely believed, rises again in the deadly deserts to the West. Ta'Iteru asks what an ancient merged Egyptian and Nubian civilization might have looked like had it lasted until the high medieval period, with similarly advanced cultures based on Punt, Sumeria, the Phoenicians, ancient Greece and more, gracing distant lands.
