The Palace
[ ]Serq's Apartments
Some say the most beautiful place in the whole palace, beautifully drawn hieroglyphics adorn the smooth walls. Veils of the finest silk hang from the high ceilings. No expense was spared. Though few see this haven but the lady Serq herself.
00
[ ]The Garden
The garden was truly beautiful, kept this way by the experienced gardener. Bright flowers from other places of the globe lay proudly in their petals, no petal out of place. The land is fertile here, but farming is attempted on the royal's land - because of the laws and the bad-tempered gardener. Serq is most likely to be found roaming this part of the palace.
-1-1
[ ]The Dining Room
A long, thin polished dark wooden table sat proudly in the middle of the room. Many high-backed, finely-crafted chairs placed carefully under the table, cushioned with red silk. Dishes of vibrantly colored fruits and sauces lay across the table, dotted with glasses of sweet wine.
00
[ ]Grande Hall
Spectacular room was placed proudly in the middle of the palace, undoubtably the biggest. Cold tile laid across the floor was actually a mosaique. The walls high and smooth, depicted beautiul scenes and hieroglyphic words, all drawn by obviously expert hands. Sometimes used as a ball room, but most often used to hold banquets.
00
[ ]Servants Quarters
Dark and sometimes damp and cold, the servant's quarters were nothing compared to Grande Hall - though they were almost equal in size. Though the people who lived here were suprisingly well kept, being low-born Egyptians they were simply servants - not slaves. Slaves had no place in the palace, not even here. The servants were fed, given water and kept in the job by the pay, low it was, but money they needed.
00
[ ]Royal Stables
The best horses are kept here. Arabians, Andalusians, Trekes and other full-bred beauties line the stalls. Only the best stablehands are allowed even near this place.
00
The City
[ ]The Theatre.
After or before the Royal Banquets held in the Grande Hall, the people may come to the Theatre. Jests, actors and mimes come from all over the kingdom to earn their supper.
00
[ ]The Market Street
Merchants come here to sell their goods. Silk, wool, papyrus, incense and other things are sold here. Inspections are common, so the merchants keep their standards up. Beggars are not allowed here.
00
[ ]Houses
The wealthier citizens of the city can afford these houses, pushed slightly back from the busy roads. Some houses are larger some are smaller, more brittle than others, or more stronger. It all depends what you can afford.((Pm Serq for a home))
00
The Tower Of The Gods
[ ]Khonsu (Moon, Time, Knowledge)
Khonsu, Khons, Chons, Khensu. Patron of the Moon, Time and Knowledge. Khonsu is the son of Amun and Mut, and is the God of the Moon. He is also revered as the God of Time, and is thus regarded as one of the companions of Thoth. Khonsu is a great lover of games, and is frequently shown playing a game of Senet against Thoth for one thing or another.

00
[ ]Shu (Air)
Shu, Su. Patron of Dry Air. Shu, along with his sister Tefnut, were the first deities to be created by Atum. He is the lord of Cool Air and the Upper Sky. He was believed to be the one responsible, like Atlas, for holding up the firmament and separating it from the earth.
00
[ ]Yamm (Sea)
Yamm. Yamm was a Tyrannical God of the Sea found who we know of from a fragmentary papyrus (Astarte Papyrus) which seems to hint that his exorbitant demands for tribute from the other deities were eventually thwarted by the goddess Astarte.
00
[ ]Thoth (Knowledge)
Thoth, Tehuty, Djehuty. Patron of Knowledge, Secrets, Writing and Scribes. Thoth is an unusual god. Though some stories place him as a son of Ra, others say that Thoth created himself through the power of language. He is the Creator of Magic, the Inventor of Writing, Teacher of Man, the Messenger of the Gods (and thus identified by the Greeks with Hermes) and the Divine Record-Keeper and Mediator.
00
[ ]Anuke (War)
Anuke. Patron of War. Anuke is a very ancient goddess of war, she may originally have been the consort of Anhur. Shown in armor carrying a bow and arrows.
00
[ ]As (Desert)
As, Ash. Patron of the Desert. As was the "Lord of Libya" and the God of the Sahara Desert. Although sometimes depicted as a companion of Set (who had the duties of the god of desert storms), As was a benign god who caused the oases to made. He also looked after those who had to travel through the desert, ensuring that they did not die of its cruel heat.
00
[ ]Baal (Thunder)
Baal. Patron of Thunder. The storm god, Baal, was a West Semitic import to Egypt. Late Bronze Age texts discovered at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) on the Levantine coast, from which his cult spread, indicate that by 1400 BC, Baal had displaced the god El to become the most important god in the local pantheon.
00
[ ]Geb (Earth)
Geb, Seb, Gebb, Keb, Kebb. Patron of the Earth. Child of Shu (God of Air) and Tefnut (Goddess of Moisture) - who were in turn the children of Atum. Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys were the children of Geb and Nut, and together these gods made up the Heliopolitan Ennad. After Atum, the four deities (Shu, Tefnut, Geb, and Nut) established the Cosmos, whereas the second set of deities (Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys) mediated between humans and the cosmos.
00
[ ]Hike (Magic, Medicine)
Hike, Heka. Patron of Magic and Medicine (though to the ancient Egyptians, these were the same things. Hike is the son of Khenmu and Menhit, though he is also said to be the eldest son of Atum (possibly due to Atum and Khenmu being associated with one another). Though he had no formal worship, his favor was beseeched by doctors and other healers, who were called "Priests of Hike."
00
[ ]Amun and Amun-Re/ Isis (King and Queen of Gods)
Amun, Amen, Amon. King and Queen of Gods. The worship surrounding Amun, and later, Amun-Re represented one of ancient Egypt's most complex theologies. In his most mature form, Amun-Re became a hidden, secret god. In fact, his name (Imn), or at lest the name by which the ancient Egyptians called him, means "the hidden one" or "the secret one" (though there has been speculation that his name is derived from the Libyan word for water, aman. However, modern context seems to negate this possibility). In reality, however, and according to mythology, both his name and physical appearance were unknown, thus indicating his unknowable essence.

Outskirts
[ ]Peasant/Slave's Huts
Made by the people themselves on the dry sand given to them by Serq, this place is rarely visited by anyone lower than a Royal Adviser. A couple of camels roam freely outside the huts. Fortunately, the River Nile is close to the camp so they are never without water.
00
[ ]The Nile
The great nile water. With waters so crystal clear, and calm and soothing. The people of Egypt make sure they take care of these waters. It twists and turns, and many enjoy there time here.
00
[ ]Desert
A vast, stretch of dry sand that goes on for miles into the distance. Few attempt to see what is beyond the horizon and most try to keep away from this dry death-zone.
00
[ ]Stables
The upper-class people's horses and camels are kept here, though these stables are much smaller and lower-kept than the royal's. Though not anyone is allowed to tend to these horses, most trusted servants are.
00
Military Grounds
[ ]Training Grounds
This is a scarce place, nothing but dry desert. But is a well off grounds for the Warlords and their soldiers.
00
[ ]Soilder's Barraks
Small gathering of hut like buildings. Many soilders in training live throughout these large huts. The long twisting Nile runs throughout here, so the soilders never are without water.
