I didn't work directly on that section.The setting does indeed include the equivalent of hieroglyphics and hieratic languages, and discusses their use in the culture.The pantheon is, in fact, the patheon of Ancient Egypt--though it's been pared down a bit, at least as far as major gods go, since we didn't really have room to include thousands of them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The set includes info on (I believe) 27 primary gods of Khemti, 11 greater and 16 lesser.The set does not go into detail on other cultures specifically, but it definitely implies their existance. Read between the lines, you'll find hints of the existance of Greece and Africa analogues. (In fact, while we didn't set out to do this deliberately, Khemti could easily exist in the same world as Nyambe, from Atlas Games.)And Khemti was designed heavily off the actual map of Egypt, so yes, you've got the major river (with most of the region's primary settlements/kingdoms located along its bank), surrounded by vast stretches of desert. In fact, the shrinking of the "Black Lands"--the remaining areas of fertility, as opposed to the "Red Lands" of the desert--is a major plot hook of the setting. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
