The Faith of Amun Ra
The Styxx....
Beautiful..... the golden eddies flowing with the faintest of reddened hues.
"I missed you Satet-ka...why did you leave us?" said the fair skinned beauty cradling his broken body.
The sky was bluer then he had remembered it. The heat rising from the desert danced playfully with the palms mirrored upon the waters edge.
It was not the seagull picking at his ear that had awoken me. It was not the gnashing of bone against bone in his side that brought me back. At first it was simply the distinct smell of the Styx. How can one describe the smell of this the oldest of mothers veins? Something like a decaying honeycomb....sweet...musky...giving everything and yet surrendering to the lust life has for all that Set creates. Ambrosia....mana of Set himself/
Satet-ka whinced as he smiled at her softly. Keptah had beaten him close to death so that he might live again. The necromancer had finished the job ....drowning him in the waters. Only then was he granted the vision that would cleanse the great city of Sepermeru from the plague caste upon it many moons ago. The plague that had left his people in the clutches of the witch of Xu'Set. The name itself was toxic. But what the priestess could not steal from him was his faith.
"Faith girl....faith is what we need now more then ever! Go send word to my legions in the north. Tell them their master has returned. I will stay here and gather the royal houses for it is finally revealed the path Stygia must now walk."
"Prophet you should know I no longer ...." spittled forth from her lips but it was incomprehensible now...the Stygian was lost in his own visions gazing out upon the great pyramid in the distance.
But will they come....will they come?
((Well ....ask and ye shall receive they say. Anyway this is the first event since my return. Thanks for asking me back. I hope we can add something to the fun you are alredy having. We welcome all to this event, but would love if Stygian roleplayers in particular would get involved. The event itsself is particularly oriented to the returning guilds of Anx Maat, Nalif Ra, Dead Heart Machine, Nox Eternus, the remanents of Hand of Set, any lingering serpents that may be out there, the eye of set, tskelion, Neverlin :) and the host of others I have already spoken with and you know who you are. That said...truly everyone is welcome if you have reason to be.
Ill be trying to learn from the past so here goes: I shouldnt even put this in here after so long but this is my effort to coordinate better this time around. We ask that conflict be in character. Rez'ing stay priest or ability oriented without getting carried away. Dont ooc in say ect. No god moding. Respect others RP capabilities and comfort levels. Leaders are encouraged to coordinate and discuss the outcome together afterwards before posting about it especially if frustrated about anything that happened. Its an all ages event so bring your level 16s if you think their ready.
It'll be done in a pseudo quest stle but unscripted. Ill have a general idea of what gonna happen and as such wont really participate. What happens will be up to the participants. Other guilds and individuals may be involved along the ay to help or hinder. They are there to have fun with you.
Anyway, again thanks to all that asked me back. I hope I can bring something of what you asked for to the table with the help of the other great roleplayers on this server.))
The Houses of Stygia
The planets hum as they circle the star of life some fearing the light and reversing in their path others calmly following their destiny. The humming of the stars can also be detected. Louder then their children, though undetectible to the untrained ear they cross vast landscapes dominated by darkness as directed by the master. Evolving and singing their song of creation as the spin and harmonize.....He can see them all now...together creating a masterpiece of octaves and cresendos..louder ever louder they sing...
"IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN YOU SON OF A CIMMERIAN SWINE I WILL NOT JUST KILL YOU BUT DROWN YOU IN YOUR MOTHERS OWN BREAST MILK!!!" yelled the cowled Stygian Burlag at his accusing brother.
"You and your kind are scum and dont even deserve to be called stygian. You are traitors to your people and kill only your own. Prophet do not trust this one he is not worthy to emark on this mission," yelled the advisor of House Black Adder Damorious.
"...Toth Amon protects stygia...if foreigners come her it is only because they see both the beauty of our land and wish to enjoy our culture and cuisine. What harm are they? You would have us seek out relics of Apostate gods? Are you mad?" jibbed the representative of House Al Sayyid.
"Satet-ka do you really expect us to go on another one of your wild chases about stygia in pursuit of another scheme of yours to unite us against the north...remember the last time you tried this..." sneered Arafn the High Priestess and representative of house Khu.
"There he goes again stirring up trouble....He is kind of cute in those robes....I dont think Aquilonia has much to fear....Ina car'bout da baldy but i thought that sick Naerlin and saddist Cyril would be here. Where the faerk are they?" droned the slaves Brudi, Arwyne and Doc.
"Prophet I have a city to build and slave to train I have no time for these petty houses...come to me when you truly have need of my power!" shrieked the priestess Kahlli.
The gentle hum of the planets slowly faded as the prophet stared down from the heavens upon the crowd before him. Slowly he licked his lips and began to quietly utter, "now that we have resolved ourselves...who will go and search for the body of Amun Ra?"
Slowly they formed ranks and chose their path. House Khu chose the heart. Kahlli (her slaves), Polka and Xochitl left for the arms of Amun Ra rumored to be the whilwind itself. Damacai, Sagga, Lanari and the Serpents Eye (aka nox eternus) resolved themselves to pursue the the Legs of Amun Ra, torrentual waters carrying their master rapidly through the universe.
"I leave now to seek out Cyril and Raiju. I will send them south for the Phallus. Lord Neverlin will undoubtedly select the eyes of Amun Ra rummored to belong to the goddess of passion Derketa. Zinfi find Lord Neverlin and see he pursues this path to completion. Bring home the eternal flame of passion"
They left committed though confused. Silence descended on the square of Khemi. The priests of Set glarred down from the temple minerets with amused indifference. Pressing out the creases in his robes Satet-ka made his way into the sook and home. The gathering of the tribes was upon them.
House Sayyid offered no assistance as was expected. But it was clear to him now they too understood the propblem he was preaching. Stygia had become weak and degenerate. How long would they be safe in their walls paying northeners for protection?
So, what's the after action
So, what's the after action report on this? Dissapointed I had to miss it.

Ima post a moar batter
Ima post a moar batter report in another string but essentially we just organized the expiditions
Arafn, Osiris, Jurist and the Anx Maat team will be going after the Heart of Amun Ra
Kahlli (her slaves), Polka and Xochitl and the Them/Dead Heart team will be going after the arms of Amun Ra
Damacai, Sagga, Lanari and the Serpents Eye (aka nox eternus) will be going after the Legs of Amun Ra
No one has volunteered you to seek after the eyes of Amun Ra although Zinfi will acompany them. Satet-ka is sure this is represented by the godess Derketa and therefore perfect for rico sauv-a-set de neverlin.
lastly...dont laugh..much
Keptah, Raiju and the House of Jade Asp (aka brotherhood) will be heading after the Phallus of Amun Ra
This is just a summary of the teams there are more people involved then mentioned here.
Events will occur this week. Tonight is the incursion into the temple of Ajujo in search of the Phallus. 9 pm pst.
