[QUOTE="Brazeku, post: 3980019, member: 48916"] [size=4][b]Introduction[/b][/size] [i]Since the earliest times, the Great River ran through the land of Khemet - each day and night, sweet waters graced the sons of men with divine nourishment.

There was a great clamor in the south, and a terrible brightness in the sky. As the river of water stretched across the earth, so did a new river – a river of fire – stretch across the heavens. Destruction rained down, a punishment from the Gods: and so the cities fell, one by one.
