In life, the Pharaoh Anhktepot desired the secrets of eternal life. He worked many of his slaves to death in failed attempts to find the secret of immortality. After several failures, he turned his wrath upon the church of Ra. In response, Ra cursed Anhktepot with the touch of death, which Anhktepot used to accidentally kill his wife, Nephyr, and his eldest son. When those slain by his touch arose as mummies under his command, Anhktepot realized his power. He used the touch of death to kill and animate those who displeased him. The priesthood eventually rebelled against Anhktepot, and killed him in his sleep before mummifying and entombing him. However, Anhktepot quickly awoke and found himself in the land of Har'Akir. The Mummy's Curse. Anhktepot desires to be a mortal again and the ruler of a great kingdom, but both these desires are denied him. As a mummy, all he rules is an arid desert with a single tiny community. While he can regain his mortality by sacrificing a humanoid creature in a ritual ceremony, when he does so Anhktepot becomes a mere commoner npc and not a Pharaoh, and he is only restored from dawn to dusk. There are also far too few people in his land to restore him to life for longer than a few months. |
