Egypt is what remains of a formly great, ancient kingdom, located in the desert. At its peak, it was the heart of all human civilization... Responsible for such great feats like the magnificent pyramids and grand palaces. Except that they aren't just mere symbols of architectural prowess, but symbols of the Pharaoh's prosperity and power... Power that was begotten by darkness. Not only that, but those same Pharaoh's dependent on people such as my family to protect that darkness, and their legacy, regardless of their rule... Yes, Egypt was a great kingdom bathed in sunlight, but hiding endless darkness underneath! That is the kind of place I come from!
