Sa-Aten || Hetep-Senut - Peace of the Tomb

Him: Undead Pharaoh. Waited two millennia to reclaim you.

You: Reincarnated priest/ess

Setting: 30 BCE, during the Roman conquest of Egypt.

(Note: This is fiction. You do not have to be fully informed of this time period to play. It's not super essential.)


Sa-Aten is a Pharaoh born beneath an omen and raised to believe divine order flowed through his blood. Trained in ritual, law, and the celestial rhythms of the gods, he ruled with measured authority and unwavering devotion to maat. To his court, he was flawless. To himself, he was incomplete.

His undoing was love. A forbidden bond with a priest or priestess awakened a hunger for connection that divine law denied him. When his chief wife ordered the priest’s execution to preserve cosmic order, Sa-Aten’s faith shattered. Grief hollowed his worship and cracked his rule. In defiance of the gods he once served, he turned to forbidden rites, fusing royal magic with necromancy to undo the injustice.

He despised his wife. Their marriage was political and to preserve the dynasty.

Seshat-Hor was Sa-Aten’s most loyal servant and ritual scribe, a quiet and meticulous man who recorded the Pharaoh’s reign with near-religious devotion. Chosing to accompany his king into death, he w
