The second card + board expansion for Eldritch Horror. Requires the core set to play.

*[...] Jack’s torch illuminated a mural on the wall. It depicted Akenaten’s prayer to the sun and the arrival of the priest, Nephren-Ka. Look again, Jack. How many times had Jack stared blankly at a shard of pottery or weatherworn stone only to have his father’s voice gently urge him to see more? Jack looked again. That was not the sun. It was a swirling mass of chaos, and it was not sending a priest. It was resurrecting a king. Nephren-Ka was not just named after the legendary Dark Pharaoh; he was that same ancient horror. “Hanif! Get in here! This is an amazing—” Jack turned and abruptly came face to face with Hanif, now clad in a black robe and wearing an inverted ankh around his neck. “You were a brave man, Jack.” Hanif raised his khopesh to Jack’s throat. “Your father died bravely as well.”*
