The Rebirth
(3000 BC)

The Two-Lands of the 1st Dynasty

                    Where Meryt-Neith will be Embraced by Set, who needs magical powers (the Vampire have no control over Magic). Other Kindred have been or will be Embraced later, either by Set (they will found one of the Bloodline of the Childer of Set, like the Bast-Hemet, the Hekau-Nebet, the Meryt-Pneter or the Ouro-Sen), or by one of Set's Childer, or even Montou (the first will become Amon, and will found the Khui-Amon Bloodline).

Another possibilities for PCs is to become Mages, or Shapeshifters. They can be Sobek (i.e.: Mokole), Anoup (i.e.: Silent Strider), Nerhib-Pehrt (i.e.: Bubastis) or Hon Aton (Celestial Choir).

The Corruption of the Mokole:

                    First try by Apep to corrupt Egypt: Use the Mokole of the Fayoum to attack the weakened forces of Set. This scenario will put together simple mortals who will fight for their lives, and under the command of the now undead Meryt-Neith. They won't Awaken (i.e.: Awaken their Avatar, Change, or be Embraced) before the end of the scenario.

This scenario will be very centered around the players. There only contact with the supernatural will be Meryt-Neith, who was thought dead, the Mokole servants of the God-King Sobek, perhaps the Silent Striders of Bubbastis they will, perhaps, succeed to bring to their side, and finally Sobek himself (A great T-Rex-like monster who wants to extend his personal corruption to the whole Nile Valley. The first part of the scenario will be an investigation. The second a diplomatic discussion, the third the battle, and the fourth will be a maze-like subterranean chambers where Sobek is jailed (he grew to much before being able to come out), with Celestial Iron to make harder weapons.

Chapitre:

                    Djoser places the capital of Egypt at Memphis.

Chapitre:

                    Meryt-Neith will impersonate Meres-Ankh (There is 3 Meres-Ankh who will be around the builders of the Guizah Pyramids)

Chapitre:

                    Kheops recovered the remains of Hetep Heres's tomb (wife of Snefru) whose body had disappeared.

Chapitre:

                    His Pyramid will never be finished.

Chapitre:

                    Pepi the first and the first documented Harem Intrigue, where, not trusting his usual councillors, he asks Uni to be the judge and scribe of Pepi's wife, whose name was, of course non-given.

Ra-ur, the vizier, will later be found guilty of another intrigue.

Chapitre:

                    Neith-Iqeret will become Meryt-Neith's first Knight, as a Wraith.

Chapitre:

                    Montou (Montano, of the Clan Lasombra) moves away from Egypt, letting his own Childe, Amon, take the power of Thebes. The Hyksos (coming from the east, but of unknown origins, probably semitic). Probably influenced influenced by a vampire of another Clan (Ventrue?), they will take over the sarcophgus where Set is in torpor, and will hold it as insurance the Childer of Set won't act against them. But the Childer of Set will realize they will definitively loose Set, and thus definitvely break the Pact of Maat. They discover the influence of the Baali, and will work relentlessly to recover Set's body. The Hyksos will be defeated by Amon's forces.
Ahmes-Nefertari will become Second Prophetess of Amon, a title never given before to a woman.

The Murder of Amenhemat
(15 February 1962 BC !!)

Chapitre:

                    How, Amenhemat, father of Sesostris, tells him as a ''legacy'' how two women of the Harem had him murdered by the guards. Sesostris, coming back from an expedition into the Lybian Lands, learnt the murder, and went in secret to the capital. Another royal son learnt about it too... Was the murder comitted to bring him to the trone?

Thera
(1500 BC)

Chapitre:

                    Egypt was the richest land of the known world. And Shaitan's intrigue is succeeding: While the Hyksos' return is impossible through the lands because of the might of Egypt's armies, Egypt needs protection from a possible return via the seas. The Childer of Set and Shaitan make a deal: For the Gold of Egypt (known as the flesh of the gods), the Minoean Civilization will protect it against invasion from the seas. The Minoean civilization, already controlling the trade of the Mediteranean sea, increases its power.

But the Childer of Set will discover Set is emprisonned by Shaitan, who plans to Diablerize him to take his power. But the Dark Powers wants it another way: They want Set Diablerized, but by their own agent, the Power of Darkness known as Namtaru.

In the same time, most powerful Vampires suddenly know something is happening. Most of them were Saulot's Salubri and Set's Childer. They came to the island of Thera, where the Labyrinth of Shaitan was hidden, and used mighty magicks to free Set (who was now partially corrupted/Or some of his Childer?), and destroyed it, and with it, Crete and the Minoean Civilization.

Quid, p80c: Thera/Santorin, 120Km Nord de Crete. Eruption. Raz de Marée. Civilisation Cretoise brusquement disparue en -1300. Selon Platon (Critias/Atlantide), ca aurait eu lieu en -1400.


Quid, p99b: -1470 Eruption de Thera. Raz-de-Marée de 50m de haut. Detruit civilisation Cretoise.


Note: Des preuve indiquerait que l'eruption ait eu lieu en -1600... On a un large eventail de temps.

Chapitre:

                    3600 Apiru are captured by Amenhotep (a pharao known for his great physical strenght), at the year 9 of his reign. The Apiru seem to have been seen in the Cappadocia in the 19th century BC, and in the 18th, at Mari and then Alalah. The Apiru often work in marginal sectors in the countries they come in, as mercenaries and servants. In Egypt, under the reign of Tutmosis III (1500 BC, the predecessor of Amenhotep II), they were working as vine-growers.

The Apiru are, in truth, the Hebrew.

Chapitre:

                    The Cult of the Reverers of Aton tries to operate a fundamental change in Egypt's religion. Mummies and Kindred and Shapeshifters are not God! God is Aton (i.e.: Atoum, Adonis... one of the names of Yehova?). Their innate Faith will be their weapon, but they will enventually fail (after all, Faith is nothing against Methuselah's power).

Chapitre:

                    Egypt's people won't follow the Reverers of Aton, whose influence disappear. Moses, priest of Aton, will convert some families of semitic origins, and will take them from Egypt as the Aton Heresy is forbidden in Egypt. This will lead to the Hebrew Exodus. Note that the Bible will be written more or less six hundred years later, with a different version...

Chapitre:

                    Ramses III had discovered an intrigue whose aim was to kill him. A famous judgement was given (the first judges became guilty of being corrupted by the accused!)
(LA Femme au temps des Pharaons, p120) Ramses III was said to have defeated the lybians (and immolated the son of the lybian chief), and to have defeated the ''People of the Sea''.
Ramses III is murdered? Ramses IV wil lead the Egyptians against Avaris, and they will destroy the priest of Set. Set's religion becomes hidden. In truth, the Conspiration of Apep already started its Purge. Horus forces learnt it, and moved on to stop the corruption (i.e.: destroy all the Vampires). Set will be convinced of his Childer's treachery, and will condone the Purge. Most Bloodlines but the Ouro-Sen will be destroyed.

Chapitre:

                    Amon survived the Purge, and took the power in Higher Egypt, around Thebes. The Setites flock around Tanis, Set's new Capital.

Chapitre:

                    Making profit of the division of the Two-Lands, Horus attacks Egypt with Lybian armies. This will lead Set to flee in a secret cave who happens to be... a Wyrm Caern. The Corruption of Set and his followers will be complete. Thus will be born the Followers of Set.

Chapitre:

                    Egypt lead armies to Jerusalem, and take over all the treasuries of the Temple of Solomon. This action will increase the prestige of Egypt, and will hide its weakness for decades, protecting it from invasions as invadors wanna-be turn to other more easy prey.

Chapitre:

                    Because of the desintegration of Egypt in multiple ''kinglings'' and its loss of power (the Assyrians were a greater danger, then), the egyptian people and nobility try a ''come back'' to ancient vertues. Animal's cult increases, and Psammetique forbid the worship of non-egyptian gods and of Set who is now assumed to have betrayed Egypt by helping the Hyksos.

Chapitre:

                    The Toreador arrives in Egypt. While they believe to have the power, they are slowly corrupted by the Setites on the Path of Ecstasy. Even with greek Pharaos, Egypt is still Setite.

Chapitre:

                    Set used Meryt-Neith to study Senef-Hekau. With her Bloodline destroyed, he must use other means to find the Rite of Rebirth. He corrupt a priest of Isis and learns the Spell of Life. His experiences are failures, as he creates the unreliable Bane Mummies.

Chapitre:

                    Horus finally asks for his followers to flee Egypt, as he realizes Set is not alone: The Ventrue are controling Rome.

Cleopatra's Failure
(33 BC)

Chapitre:

                    As Egyptian's Setite fails to corrupt the roman invaders, Set disappear in the Darkness.
