**Tips about characters and plot**

⚠️**SPOILER WARNING**⚠️

* Ancient Egypt is divided into two parts: Upper and Lower Egypt.
* Only recognized priests have the right to practice dark magic. For everyone else, it's illegal.
* There are very few dark magicians left, but there's huge competition between them.
* Hunters are pharaoh-approved squads of warriors who are specially trained to capture shesmu.
* Rumor has it that there are shesmu even in the pharaoh's closest circle. They have ears everywhere.
* Thebes is the capital of Upper Egypt, next to which is the main necropolis.
* The Judgment of the Dead is the moment when Osiris weighs the soul of the deceased and determines their fate in the afterlife.
* A dark magic mentor usually takes from two to five students.
* The afterlife is of great importance to ancient Egyptians. They are not afraid of death but revere it.
* Memphis is the capital of Lower Egypt and Egypt as a whole. The pharaoh and all the members of high society live there.
* A third of all shesmu die at the hands of their fellow dark magicians during conflicts and struggle for power.
* Thanks to her travel experience, Agnia speaks several languages. Greek is her mother tongue. She is called Agnia of Attica because that's where she comes from.
* The elders are highly experienced dark magicians who enjoy great authority in their circles.
* Elder dark magicians try to avoid teaching, but someone has to train the young shesmu, so being a mentor became a form of punishment.
* When a shesmu begins to study dark magic, their soul loses its warmth, which deprives them of the ability to dream.
* It's rare for a shesmu to be predisposed toward both branches of dark magic.
* It’s important for necromancers to remain calm. Heightened emotions can scare the ka away or prevent you from getting in touch with it.
* The warmth of a soul, its ka, allows oneiromancers to connect to it and step into people’s dreams.
* The hunters are representatives of the pharaoh’s power. When they hunt, they take on the role of the god Horus and wear an amulet in the shape of his missing left eye.
* Young dark magicians are punished by death. Their survival rate is very low: Many die within the first year after finishing their studies.
* The hunters came up with many methods of execution. "A shesmu’s last song" is their favorite.
