History
During the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, the Apple came into the possession of pharaoh Amenhotep IV, who associated it with Aten. Alongisde his wife, Nefertiti, Amenhotep IV introduced a monotheistic religion to Egypt centered around the relic, and changed his name to Akhenaten.
Following Akenhaten's and Nefertiti's deaths the Aten passed on to their son, Tutankhamun, who chose to restore the polythestic religion of his forefathers. Tutankhamun entrusted the relic to the High Priests of Amun, who kept it safe for generations until 38 BCE.
In this year, the God's Wife of Amun Isidora began using the relic to take vengeance on the tomb robbers who had killed her mother, Nitokris, a bring a curse upon the city of Thebes in the process.
Eventually the curse was lifted by the Hidden One, Bayek of Siwa, who had the relic hidden away where no man might ever find it.
