INTRODUCTION

                    -3088BC, Egypt. The Two Lands once again united as the South, land of Set, conquered the North, land of Osiris. To keep the Balance between the two, a capital is chosen in the middle of the "Two-Lands", called Memphis, "the Balance".
Now is the time for peace. As Set sleeps in Torpor, and as Horus still has to come back from the land of the dead, Other supernatural creatures lurks around the boundaries of this new country.
Oudimou, at the 29th year after his crowning, third Pharao of the glorious Dynasty, is old and tired. His wife, Neferou, died in childbirth, and his first son, Horhem, is too impulsive to be given the power over Egypt.
His daughter, Meryt-Neith, sickly and so pale she avoids the sunlight, Ra, great god of the Two-Lands is destined to marry her father, for the Pharao is male and female, to be balance and so, follow Maat.
His last son, Ouadji, is but an innocent baby.

                    Unkown to all, dark forces stirred by Apep himself, work to take the control of the land said to protect the ruins of the Second City! But the Fayoum is revolting against the forces of Pharao, and, lead by the great general Mykerinos, succeed in keeping the forces of Sobek far from Memphis. But Horhem dies in the battle against a strange god hurling balls of green fire, and Mykerinos is thought dead.
Pharao dies the night he learns the death of his son, and as Meryt-Neith, "loved-by-Neith", give her last hommage to her father, the magickal protection of the tomb is triggered by an unkown force...

                    Learn about the destiny of Egypt, as

Mykerinos Ouserkaf ("Mykerynos whose Ka is powerful"), General of the South-Eastern Army, and a Silent Strider who is slowly discovering his secret heritage;

Chepen Desheret ("Gift of the Desert"), a priest of Anubis, whose destiny will lead to mummification, and who will lead the people of Egypt to their worship of the dead;

Akhchou ("Useful/Enlightening to Chou, [member of the first divine couple, and possible father of Ra]"), the old sorcerer, who's very near the discovery of the Ra-Hekaou, and so, will become one of the first true Mages of recorded history;

Hathor ("Temple of Horus,"), Architect, sculptress and paintress, the possible inspiration behind the huge monuments of Ancient Egypt;

Bast-Mosis (Loved-by-Bast), a Bubasti Kinfolk, dancer and priestess of the godess Bast, who should have married Horhem and become Queen of Egypt, and who stirred the interests of the Gangrel Basthemet;

Asher Hendut, the stealthy nubian, diplomatic councelor of the late Pharao, whose genius will attract the attention of Montou, the falcon-god (known in the future as Montano, Childe of Lasombra); Asher will become Amon, "The Hidden Principle", God of Thebes, and greatest god of Egypt in the New Empire Dynasties;

and Meryt-Neith ("Loved-by-Neith, Neith being the godess of war and the city of Sais"), believed to have been embraced in the very tomb of her father by Set himself She will be known as Sechat, the godess of the scriptures and rituals, who draws the maps of the temples and wife of Thot, but also also as Meryt-Set ("Loved-by-Seth"), Kindred Queen of Egypt when Set is Torporous, Hecate, the greek godess of dark magic, supposedly of Lasombra blood, member of the Tal'mahe'Ra and hunted because of her volontary infection to the Vicissitude disease, and finally Lady Laureen, supposedly of Clan Tremere, Lady of the Realm of Paris and Regent of the Chantry of Nonisis at Meudon.

They all will try to hold together a land where two brothers fight for total control.
As Osiris died, Horus, his son, sweared the vengeance against his Antediluvian uncle. A land where the Werecreatures just learn about the mysterious Kindred, and where the Wyrm itself will try to corrupt Set. Should it succeed, Gaia would find herself with a most powerful enemy, indeed!

                    Uræus is a chronicle starting in -3088BC in Memphis, Egypt, and which will end 5000 years after in Paris, France, starring the those who will become the gods of Egypt, and in the same time some of the greatest powers among the Kindred, and even all the other supernaturals!
But they will know of the greatest tragedy in the world: The corruption of Set by the wyrm, even as he searched for a state known as Maat, or Balance/Truth/Justice, known by others as Golconda; and the creation of the Serpentis Discipline and the corrupting Followers of Set.
