The Frozen Awakening

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

The city of Alexandria awakens to a disturbing day. The sea around the port (and the port itself) is frozen with a few metres of ice. A long white serpent is seen deep in the waters at the same time. Both disappear quickly and a minor quake hits the city. A short time later, it is found that a part of the Library of Alexandria's underground workshops & storage area has been damaged and a small tunnel is found behind it. Though rumoured to have always been there, it is thought it was a cursed area and only entered by military personnel, who quickly vanish. So far no others are to have ventured down.   At the same time, a number of reports start to flood in through Egypt of the dead stirring more frequently in their graves, crypts and fancy tombs. Attacks by many of these increase. All the while, the number of assassinations & thefts increase, along with stories of parties of strange human / serpent hybrids are reported by many Bedouin, soldiers & civilians from old out of the way places making for the north.
