Those with ambition courted the darkest of magics; to have them imbue them with zeal.
High Pharoah Musa ruled the empire west of the Nile for decades, but not of his own accord. He entreated Ammit, the Devourer of the Dead, who in turn dispatched his unholy son to help the pharaoh. Ammit's son was a creature borne of hatred and despair, a demon without a name, and after electing Musa into his regency, he made true on his promise to collect.
Musa, never truly intending to compensate the demon, summoned three seers from across the desert to bind and banish him into slumber.
In modern times, one of the seers' bloodlines has ended, stirring Ammit's son from his dormancy. Now he is hungry - not only for his reparation, but for vengeance on the soothsayers that exiled him.
