Pharaoh Zhar-Teph was the ruler of the Ahmunite Empire which was scourged from the lands by the Ophidian Empire.
Biography
After centuries, the Ahmunites started looking again beyond their realm, the reasons why are lost and confused, be it too many of their gold and precious stones have been stolen by tomb robbers, or some fool inadvertently unlocked a hidden chamber unleashing the curse, or Akshun’arha, Carrion-Goddess messengers awoke the Ahmunites and in turn Zhar-Teph.
Zhar-Teph sent forth his armies Kings on gleaming chariots burst from the dunes, Long silent high priests began their great incantations reanimating the skeleton legions, mummified ancient warlords cracked and creaked with the return of their lost souls. Rising out of the sands came the skeletal giants and revenants. Bodies of gold, bronze and silver encased the trapped djinn
Every living thing within a hundred leagues was scoured, poisoned, slain; cured to join the ranks of the dead. Zhar-Teph looked upon this great work, and saw that it was good.The first to feel the new-found power of the Ahmunites were the nosey Twilight kin, drawn to power to investigate with the hopes of stealing the source of the magic.
Only a single, emaciated and raving, pale skin blistered and burnt by the desert sun, elf made it back to the Mouth of Leith, that lone elf’s raving testimony remains the only first-hand account of the full power of Zhar-Teph’s legions.
