Description

From the Module description:

Pharoah Pepi I of the Old Kingdom was so delighted to have a son each from his Mistress and his Great Wife, he made them
both his successors. Merenre was first-born, and then Nefekhare twelve years after. Merenre was 18 years old when he became Pharaoh, Neferkhare was 6 at the same occasion where he took the Kingly name of Pepi II. All looked well in the Black Land.

When Merenre was 27, he died in an ‘accident’. A favourite courtier of Merenre called Sinuhe fled the court and headed for the lands of Retjenu. There, for ten years he has risen through the Tribal Ranks and is now ruler of a Retjenu Kingdom. He has recently petitioned Pharaoh to be allowed to return to Egypt
and has hinted he knows more details about the death of Merenre than is commonly known.
Neferkhare, now sole Pharaoh and aged 25 has agreed to this and has assembled his most trusted Aides to go and fetch Sinuhe and bring him back to the Court, where he can tell his Tale and be forgiven for fleeing in the first place.

This Module juggles historical, semi-historical and speculative fiction based on the various Bronze Age cultures in the Near and Far East around 2260BC. Without going into much detail, the setting is a richly cosmopolitan, multi-cultural world very much like present-day Western Civilization, but with far fewer toys.

A Runequest V3.0 Tornament Module for 4 to 6 experienced Players.
