Aigyptoi

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History
The Aigyptoi have the power of the Nile.
For centuries, the Aigyptoi ruled supreme throughout the eastern Mediterranean and the northern Middle East. Great was their power and splendour, but all that disappeared with the enormous cost of resisting and resettling the Sea Peoples more than eight centuries ago. Aigyptos is still blessed with riches thanks to the fecundity of the Nile, but now the land is rent asunder by infighting and foreign dominance. Pharaoh's authority is questioned, both by pretenders and the priests of Amun alike, while the vast lands of Asia, once serfs of the Aigyptoi, no longer bow to him.
But even so, the seeds of greatness are still with Aigyptos, waiting for the opportune moment to bloom once more. The Nile continues to flood and fertilise the earth along its course across Aigyptos, even as the great monuments of centuries past continue to inspire wonder and awe in the Hellenes who now ply Aigyptos' harbours as sellers of wares and sellswords on the search for adventure, but the threats that the Aigyptoi face from a nascent Persia are very much real and must with care and perseverence be dealt with. Will the sun finally set on Aigyptos, or will you  be able to resurrect her past glories once more?
