Ethics
Polygamy
Polygamy is part of sekhmet's upper society as dictated by the faith. The wealthy and noble men are encouraged to marry multiple wives. Children of wives are legible for inheritance while children born to concubines are generally not legible. Wealthy polygamist men often maintain harems where the wives, concubines and other female servants reside often served by eunuchs. While some faithful of the lower classes practice polygamy, most marry only a single wife.Political Influence & Intrigue
As official religion of the Federal Monarchy of Al Achnon, tenets of the faith play a major role in politics on this nation. The Sultan of the federation is considered the representation of Achnon-Ankh on Artha and thus, his words are divine.
