Experience the wonders and majesty of ancient Egypt, when the mighty cities of Thebes and Memphis were key locations during the reign of one of the most well-known pharaohs, King Tutankhamen. Yet even such a dazzling world, full of kingly treasures and towering statues, holds dangers, intrigues, and surprises. Can you solve the mysteries before Lord Meren, the Eyes and Ears of Pharaoh, does?
 * Location Description: **

//Note//: Be aware that Egypt is a fairly hot and dry climate. Bring your water bottle and be sure to take resting breaks!

First, Thebes is full of mystery and adventure. Men are murdered in sacred places while other plots come to light—plots that involve the royal family of Egypt. Explore the Place of Anubis—the embalmers’ workshop—for clues to the murder of an ill-tempered scribe. Then, take a skiff ride along the Nile River to the tomb-maker’s village to see the tomb artisans at work—perhaps one of them knows who killed the scribe.
 * Itinerary: **

Once the mystery of the Place of Anubis is solved, take on the challenge of solving the murders of two priests in the temple of Amun—priests who, perhaps, knew about a conspiracy? The clues might lead you to the near-abandoned city Horizon of the Aten, the once-flourishing capital under the previous pharaoh, the heretic Akenhaten. If so, just how are the two connected? Can you figure out why someone died at the God's Gate?

By now, you probably are ready for a bit of rest and relaxation. Travel on Lord Meren’s boat, //Wings of Horus//, to his country home, located just outside the city of Abydos, for a Feast of Rejoicing. Enjoy the fine food and entertainment while you can, in case a murder should interrupt the festivities.

Are you superstitious? The Eater of Souls--the Devourer--punishes the wicked in the afterlife by consuming their souls. Now it seems she's loose in the back alleys of Memphis, King Tutankhamen's royal city, and killing randomly. Who will be her next victim?

Join Meren as he takes the first steps on his journey to discover the murderer of the beautiful Queen Nefertiti, the wife of Akenhaten. Does the murder of a royal guard or a Hittite emissary have any connection to Nefertiti? Continue to explore Memphis and take part in the continued intrigue in King Tutankhamen's court in search of the drinker of blood.

Horizon of the Aten was the capital city of King Tutankhamen’s predecessor, the heretic Pharaoh Akenhaten and his wife, the famous Queen Nefertiti. Now virtually abandoned, the final clues to Queen Nefertiti's death lie within. Being Egyptian royalty makes you the embodiment of a god--can you find out who would dare to slay a god?
