Ahktenomeht

The Ahktenomeht was a Human Egyptian family of powerful worshipers and Pharaohs whose dynasty lasted for over a century. They reigned at the side of the powerful Nubix refugees when they appeared, demanding resources and power. The Ahktenomeht were simply a figurehead to a predominantly theocratic government. The Nubix provided forbidden knowledge of the universe to the Ahktenomeht, making the family extremely skilled in mathematics and physics.

The Ahktenomeht came into existence during an undetermined period in Egypt's history when they rose to power alongside their Nubix rulers. They had no knowledge of The Warden Siege or any information concerning races predating the Nubix. They were also oblivious to The Ark, The Gods, or any cosmic or interdimensional conflicts.

Nubix Interference
The Ahktenomeht, before the arrival of the Nubix refugees, were intelligent alchemists and thinkers of ancient Egypt. They named their field of study "The Way of the Edawa". The Edawa underwent radical reform when the Nubix arrived with their advanced technologies and scientific and mathematical knowledge of the universe. The Nubix were treated as gods by the Ahktenomeht family. The wealthy Ahktenomeht supplied resources and refuge to the Nubix visitors, and in exchange, the Nubix shared their knowledge and developed technology. They also shared some of their stolen schematics from The Ark with the Ahktenomeht people. Eventually, the Edawa Grandmaster integrated strong Nubix culture within The Way of the Edawa. After an oppressive regime was overthrown by the people of Egypt, the Ahktenomeht launched a coup with advanced weaponry and fierce military tactics. They appointed a pharaoh whose dynasty would serve as a strong figurehead government whilst the Nubix worked from the shadows.

Eventually the Edawa was the official faith of the land. When another faith seemed to take hold, an actual Nubix garrison would appear out in the open, protecting the pharaoh, while immediately and publically eliminating the threat. The people of Egypt were very aware of their "gods'" existence. The Nubix showed themselves to the public, only in a few occasions. When they weren't walking amongst the lands of Egypt, the Nubix commoners would be within the City of the Gods.
