The Story
For millions of years, Khemet stood watch over the tombs of her people, safeguarding a sleeping civilization while awaiting the day of its return. As ancient systems begin to stir and forgotten legions awaken, old conflicts and hidden schemes emerge alongside them.
Once a respected protector, Khemet now bears the weight of disgrace. Betrayed and condemned for past failures, she has endured a punishment unlike any other. Now released from captivity, she is offered a single chance to restore her reputation and regain what was lost.
Her task is simple in theory but devastating in practice: reclaim a tomb world that has fallen into the hands of outsiders. Success could restore her standing. Failure will ensure her disgrace becomes permanent.
