*The Nameless Capital, once presided over by the great and terrible God-King
*remains the only bastion of hope for humanity against the encroaching undead from the East.
*Defiant against the God-King's corrupt ways, the priestess Neferet struck him down and tore his divine essence from him.
*A brilliant light poured forth from his ruined body as wisps of energy streaked out into the night air,
*each seeking out a specific individual, as if drawn to them.
*Soon, the truth of their God-King became apparent—
*To ascend beyond death itself, he had shattered it, and with stolen divinity ruled his court as if he would never die.
 	
*Neferet's loyal bodyguard, Rahotep, became the Vessel of Anubis, the Arbiter...
 	
*...while Hetepheres, a rogue operating out of a cat goddess' temple, received Bast's blessing along with her sacred headdress and chakram.
 	
*Gathering allies with similar destinies, the Shards—as they would later be known—
*protected the survivors of the God-King's reign from the undead forces that lurked outside.
*The self-appointed guardians could only do so much to stave off the inevitable, however, and despair weighed heavily on their hearts...
 	
*...until Aesys, Lady of Horizons, appeared at the gates in a flash of brilliant flame.
*The goddess declared the key to the undead's violent pilgrimage to lay within the depths of the city itself,
 	
*but more than that, lurking somewhere beneath the earth was the lost Shard of her husband.
 	
*Little did she know that Osiris, Lord of Life and former ruler of netherworld Duat, had been irreversibly corrupted.
 	
*The God-King's dark influence only seemed to grow in the wake of his supposed "death".
 	
*Their struggles against darkness were only about to begin.
*After a heartwrenching battle between husband and wife, old allies and new, Osiris was sealed in his altar beneath the earth.
*Faced with the tides of darkness to come, the gods of Urzyma must gather their brethren once more.
*Leaving Hetepheres in charge of the Nameless Capital alongside their allies,
 	
*Aesys and Rahotep set forth on the trail of Neferet, who had left about a moon ago
*on a journey to beseech divine aid at the ancient Shrine of Dawn.

*For if the gods still deign to listen, then so exists the barest flicker of flame in the darkness of chaos.
