The Tomb of Hyksos

Part One: Pharos the Great

You stand on the docks of the royal city of Pharos. To the south an ancient heat rises off the sands of a vast and golden desert. To the north the deep cold bronze darkness of the Mediterranean sea.

Gulls circle over the harbor where they compete with strange foreign languages - in the battle to be heard in the late day sun, as cargo is pulled off ships, dragged 20 yards and loaded on to others to begin the long trip up the Nile river.

This is Egypt, Great Egypt. The Egypt of myth and legend. Men have traveled far to gaze at her wonders. To taste her sweet nectar, no?

But beware. For in her depths she hides many secrets my friend. Dark and terrible things sleep beneath the sands of Egypt. Things best left to the lost eons of time.

This amulet will protect you. 20 gold.
