History
Kur, the capital city of Kurhan, was founded in 850 B.R.M. by the great leader and warrior pharaoh, Khensu I. He envisioned a grand metropolis that would serve as the center of power and culture for the growing empire. Under his rule, the city began to take shape with the construction of grand temples, towering monuments, and sprawling palaces.
As the empire expanded, so too did Kur. Conquered territories brought new resources and labor to the city, allowing for even more grandiose construction projects. The city's population swelled as people flocked to Kur to take advantage of the opportunities and wealth it offered.
Over the centuries, Kur became a melting pot of cultures, with people from all corners of the empire coming to live and work in the city. This diversity was reflected in the city's architecture, which incorporated elements from many different styles and traditions.
During the reign of Pharaoh Namtes II, Kur in 350 B.R.M. reached its pinnacle of grandeur and splendor. The pharaoh commissioned the construction of the Great Temple of Sarghus, a massive structure that towered over the city and served as the center of worship for the Cult of Sarghus after it was completed in 100 B.R.M. which resulted in The Cult of Sarghus: The Beacon being established and the ultimate scism with The Cult of Sarghus: The Divine.
Despite invasions and conflicts throughout history, Kur remained the heart of Kurhan, standing as a symbol of the empire's power, wealth and cultural heritage. Today, it continues to be a thriving metropolis, drawing visitors from all over the world to marvel at its ancient monuments and experience its rich history and culture.
