Pharaohs (TCG)

The Pharaohs, also known as Sun Kings, were the rulers of the Rempet Empire, who declared themselves divine as descendants of the Sun God Shem. They practiced slavery and their sorcerers performed fouled rituals, while they were protected by undying guards. Their seat of power was a temple-palace. Across the Burning Sands, by Daniel Lovat Clark
== First Pharaoh ==
A mortal woman came to the Cradle of the World in the final days of her pregnancy, and the baby was soon delivered of a divine child, whom she named Horiz-Rem. The child rose to become the first pharaoh priest-King of Rempet, the Kingdom of the Sun God. Horiz-Rem had many wives, lived a supernaturally long life, and fathered more than ninety children. Under his rule Rempet became the greatest empire in the world, its pharaohs all traced their lineage back to Horiz-Rem, and through him to Shem himself. 
== Sorcerer-Kings ==
Pharaohs, as divine beings, took as a given their right to rule over all of humanity. As these rulers were sorcerers, dominated humans and even the djinn bowed before the pharaohs. Rempet enslaved entire tribes, and only the al-Qamari, a secret organization, opposed the pharaohs. Which each successive geenration, the divine essence of Horiz-Rem was spread more and more thin. The pharaohs sought means to prolong their lives, adopting blood magic, and created undying servants. 
== Demise ==
The sorcerer-kings were cast down by an alliance of the al-Qamari and the Ki-Rin Clan.
