- "On the east bank of the Nile sits the sprawling grandeur of the city of Thebes. Once Egypt's capital, the city's importance arose from a cult dedicated to Amun."
- ―Description about Thebes.[src]
Thebes, known to ancient Egyptians as Waset,[1] was a city on the eastern bank of the Nile and the capital of Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdom periods. It resided across the river from the Valley of the Kings and was home to a cult of Amun which operated out of Karnak. Thebes was also the birthplace of two Order of the Ancients members, Khaliset and Medunamun.[2]
Sometime around 34 BCE, the city was plagued by a "curse" where various deceased pharaohs from the New Kingdom were seemingly brought back from the dead to terrorize and kill local civilians. The news of these events eventually reached the Hidden One Amunet, who sent her ex-husband and fellow Hidden One Bayek of Siwa to meet her contact in the city.[3]
History[edit | edit source]
In 34 BCE, upon arriving in the harbors of the city, Bayek was greeted by Sutekh, an Egyptian who welcomed him to the city. They were soon interrupted by the manifestation of an apparition of Nefertiti, who attacked the residents and soldiers. Having defeated the apparition, Bayek met with Amunet's contact outside Luxor, an Egyptian smuggler named Merti who owed Amunet a favor some time prior. Bayek handed a parcel to the smuggler, who discussed the details surrounding the curse: a relic was stolen from a pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, which supposedly brought down the curse onto Thebes. Merti informed Bayek to head to the black market, believing the merchants there to have more information on the curse. She also told Bayek to look for the God's Wife of Amun Isidora in Karnak, should he have more questions.[4]
