They See Things Too!

by Knowledge Warden Cramus Wrenth

I'm not the only one seeing things! Overnight, Merosh conversed with a man who wore a leopard skin robe and ornate headpiece, with a snake that faces out. Waking Jaimis, Merosh talked with the man, who apparently wasn't a man at all. He was moving unnaturally. He revealed himself as "Amun'Ra, son of Takash-Ra, of the house Mul'Palar", and that his shadow is wandering the lands in search of men of valor. He hoarded posessions in his tomb, everyone hated him, and the people rose up in anger to demand their lives, gold, and freedom back. Amun'Ra cursed them, and the rivers slowed and died in Cyrus's holy name. Athnis, the spring, stopped its flow.
 
So now we know the source of the curse that dried up the land! In return, Osiris cursed Amun'Ra, to live forever, until his staff of ruling is taken, as well as the gem of Mul'Palar. Merosh, amazing as he is, was even able to glean information about the star gems, who were given to pharaohs to protect and to watch in many of the battles. Mar'tek created Amun'Ra's gem. Merosh told us that when he asked about what could arm us, Amun'Ra's shadow spoke only gibberish.
 
Thallan didn't see anything, but Fy did! A regally-dressed man approaached her, in flowing gowns with the headband of a snake. Apparently Amun'Ra was that shadow as well. Interestingly enough, the figure said, "I think this is the first time someone has shown up who can enter the tomb. The tomb is not plundered, but there is wealth to be had and secrets to be unearthed." Fy also was able to determine that Amun'Ra and his kin used to live where the dragon was circling the rock. I guess that confirms it, I was seeing things.
 
A lone figure has just appeared on the dune ahead. Oh good, everyone else sees it too.
