Editing Kingdoms: Domain of The Sun Pharoah (section)

=The Dominant Actors of the Court=
==KING: Nopheros, the Young Pharoah==

'''Nopheros''' recalls his parents as Isis and Osiris, and knows that one day he will be Heru, the God of Sun and Sky. He must also become Nekheny, the Falcon Warrior, and Kemwer, the Beloved Husband. He must become Nemty, he who Travels, and he knows that it is his destiny to become Harsiesis, the Victor. He will be both Mekhenty-er-irty (the Eyeless) and Khenty-irty (the Seer), and thus will rule over both Dark and Light.

For now though, he is just Nopheros - the young pharoah. Dark skinned, strong of limb and regal in features, he is undeniably a grown man, but his full destiny has yet to unfold. The story of Heru demands to be told, but for this to happen he must first win the ''Game of Succession''. Thus Nopheros combines pride in his destiny with humility in his current weakness. He rules as a God-king must, but he understands that his future depends upon the actions of his servants, and so he is beholden to them. Thus he is devoted to his wife, fair to his subjects and one who listens to his generals and ministers.

==KNIGHT: Sekhmet, the Lioness==

'''Sekhmet''' is in her late forties now, but has been serving her country since her birth. For the first half of her life, she was just an ordinary slave soldier, but on her twenty-second birthday the priesthood recognised that she had greatness in her, and brought her to the attention of the Kingdom. Since then she has served as the high priestess of war and as the commander of the nation's armies. She is famed for her honour and sense of duty (which some say she pursues to an excessive degree) and once famously destroyed a city for daring to stage a theatre performance critical of the Pharoah. She inspires similar fanaticism in the soldiers she commands - thanks to her influence the Kingdom's armies have a reputation for absolute incorruptibility and absolute devotion to their King.

==BISHOP: Ma'at, Lady of High Justice==

'''Ma'at''' was a mere junior minister in her department just three years ago, but wrote a series of scrolls on justice and law. This was recognised by the Pharoah as a work of great insight, and she was instantly put in charge of formulating the kingdom's code of laws. Her iron control and deep understanding of the intricacies of the Kingdom's legal systems make her one of the most powerful women in the kingdom. Oddly (for an authority figure that represents law and order) she is well loved and respected by the common folk, who recognise that she is even-handed and fair in all she does, even if she is merciless towards criminals and lawbreakers.

==ROOK: Neith, the Protective Mother==
A soldier-turned-physician, Neith realised that there was a great gap in the care of women and women's health. She gathered the wisdom of midwives across the kingdom, and created an organisation to oversee childbirth and women's health. These achievements, though modest, have created a situation where almost half of the kingdom's population sings her praises and see her as one of the greatest protectors of the kingdom. At her word, militia armies of womenfolk can be raised. To her ears the whispered secrets of a million women are told. The pharoah saw this, and brought her into his household...
