People

Nephrentep was a pharaoh of the Rempet Empire, a Sun King, divine being as succesor of Sun God Shem. Slavery was openly practiced on his empire, his sorcerers performed fouled rituals and he was protected by undying guards. [1]

Sorcerer[]

Nephrentep was a divine being as descendant of Horiz-Rem, the son of the Sun God Shem himself. Which each successive generation, the divine essence of Horiz-Rem was spread more and more thin. The pharaohs had sought means to prolong their lives, adopting blood magic, and created undying servants. [1]

Demise[]

When the foreign Ki-Rin Clan reached the Cradle of the World Nephrentep offered them hospitality, and their leader, Shinjo-no-Kami, was declared to be Shem's sister from afar. Nephrentep's hospitality was a ruse, and he snatched Shinjo spiriting her away to his temple-palace, expecting to use Shinjo's divine blood in a ritual to prolong his life. The sorcerer's king undying guard attacked the Ki-Rin and drove them into hiding. The Ki-Rin found allies among the al-Qamari, a secret organization devoted to opposing the Sun Kings. Together the Rempet enemies staged an attack doomed on failure on Nephrentep's temple-palace. Eventually the moon blotted out the sun, throwing day into night, and ruling supreme until Nephrentep was cast down and Shinjo liberated. The oppressed peoples of Rempet rallied under Shinjo's banner and destroyed the corrupt empire of the sorcerer-kings. [1]
