When
the last Pharaoh of Mentu dynasty died 5 years ago,
and there was no one to ascend to the throne, Egypt
was thrown into a turmoil of fighting for supreme power.
For five long years, three factions were struggling
for the throne until in the end, you managed to negotiate
with one of the groups-- against a promise of high ranks
in your court-- and received their obligation to support
you. The remaining families, led by Itchyjuanchokamhen,
understood that it made no sense to continue the fight,
and have retreated. Just a few short months ago, you
ascended the throne. Itchyjuanchokamhen and those who
opposed you rule the Sinai and consider it a separate
land, but are willing to maintain friendly relations
with Egypt.
As
first Pharaoh of the new dynasty, you have decided
to build a new capital. A large prosperous city unrivalled
in beauty. You have chosen Ahfra-deshala as a site for
this Jewel of the Nile. This place is rich in resources,
the land is beautiful and the priests assure you it
is a favorable location... it is a wonder that no one
has thought of building here before. Perhaps it is because
the terrain is very broken and transport of goods isn't
as easy as some other locations.
While
you are building the city and it's monuments-- a
guardian Sphinx and two pryramids to show the power
of Pharaoh and create a resting place for your family,
do not forget about your loyal subjects... and also
those who observed your victory but may have silently
wished for others to ascend the throne. If you prove
to be a wise ruler, who looks after his people and helps
when they are in need, it is possible they will become
more friendly gradually. Your goal is to unite Egypt
again, and should carefully consider your opportunites
to win these other cities to your side. You should not
forget about appropriate defenses however; although
no invasions are expected, Itchyjuanchokamhen and his
supporters are watching carefully from the Sinai. If
you give them some excuse, they will may attack you.
I wish you good luck!
