Herusemuyahotep

Egypt. 

Land of the pharaohs, abundance, and mystery.

The land of Egypt. The Two Lands, Kumat; the Black Land. It has many names, but everyone knows of it. With a history tracing back to nearly eight thousand years, Egypt has been subject to many pop culture works throughout the millenia. Greek philosophers, Persian mathematicias, American screenwriters. Many have been inspired the magical history of ancient Egypt. Though mostly it is known for its dynastic period spanning from three thousand one hundred before common era after famed King Menes supposedly united Upper and Lower Egypt into a single super empire, to the death of Ptolemy the fifteenth Philopator Philometor Caesar, son of Cleopatra the seventh Thea Philopatorand Gaius Julius Caesar, at the hands of Caesar Augustus  in thirty before common era. A multitude of of dynasties spread across three eras known as the Old-, Middle-, and New Kingdom. But Egypt was more than just its history. Egypt was a paradise. Due to the black silt washed onto the shores after each flood period by the river Nile, the soil around the slithering river was among the most fertile on the planet, making it a garden of Eden made real. It was fought over for this very reason by many many cultures, kingdoms and empires. But even so, Egypt persisted through wear and tear, war and famine, conquests and oppression. All up until the dawn of the Roman Empire. But even if the great dynastic empire was lost, and its remarkable culture and religion, so much still survived. Buildings so great they stand tall even five thousand years later despite being exposed to the elements. Truly remarkable structures, each telling its very own unique story of the ancient times.

But this story is not about the entirety of Egypt... yet.

Red Sea Governate

Egypt

As you wander the Red Sea Governate, you'll see not much else than dusty hills of sandstone in whites, beiges, and rust red. But if you look towards the horizon you might just catch the glimpse of an ominous cloud gently caressing the soft pale sands below. The closer you get, the more the sand around you will strike. Like millions of tiny bullets being fired at your tender skin. You get closer and closer, the sand blasting harder and harder. Eventually it will begin to tear the skin from your flesh. rendering you nothing but a bloody pile of flesh and bone. But were you to somehow survive this cursed storm and make it through to the other side, you'd be met with a two statues dedicated to the ancient god of the desert, Sutekh, judging your entrance to the area. If you look around, you will see that the storm surrounds the entire area, which is not a small area. It's mostly mountainous desert here. A few sandstone huts, and something that looks like a plantation to the right in the distance. If your eyes follow the road ahead, you will come to see a large sandstone gate built between two steep hills of sandstone, red like dried blood. Behind the gate lies a complex necropolis built into the mountain with buildings added around it, each painted in vibrant white, blue, red, gold, and green. To the sides of the main complex, you would see large silos and temple vaults, as well as a courtyard with a small garden.

The Necropolic complex otherwise known as Yanebhedij, near impossible to reach uninvited, is the base of operations of a secret organisation working in correlation with the Council, is the home of an ancient being, old enough to have experienced the dawn of the greatest empires of the ancient world.

Herusemuyahotep

Herusemuyahotep was born a very long time ago, before the first Pyramids, and the events that led to his current state are the things from legend, or perhaps a horror story. But that's another story for another time. 

Not too long ago, someone made a mistake.

Not too long ago, someone unleashed a curse upon the earth.

Not too long ago, someone released him.

For nearly five thousand years, Herusemuyahotep, a rogue priest and would-be usurper laid dormant. Sealed away and forgotten in a faraway tomb, swallowed by the desert sands. But as often is, even those whose faces have been erased from history, one clue inspires someone to search. 

And it is difficult to erase someone who made as large an impact as Herusemuyahotep. And as it happens, someone found a trace, a clue. And followed it.

Inbedden in the rocky face of a cliff they would uncover an unusual necropolis. A complex with rooms that told a story no one had read for nearly five thousand years. A story about a king named Djoser who had a brother named Herusemuyahotep - He who would Slay the Great Horus, who was a true god on Earth. They told a story about a man who tried to make a greater Egypt. About a man who would defy the pharaoh so that Egypt could once again become home to the gods.

Herusemuyahotep was slim, yet toned, and was considered very tall for the time.
Living in Egypt at a time before major immigration from the Mediterranean and Middle East,
the ethnic makeup of the people at the time would've resembled most other North African peoples -
Donning characteristic thick lips, reddish-brown skin, dark curly hair, and a broader nose.

His connection to the gods may have been a cause for his immense height, and the golden colour of his eyes.
