Order of the ancients

The Order of the Ancients are a group of the most powerful people in Egypt, who have combined their forces to take power by any means. Acting both in the shadows and through young and inexperienced Pahroah in Ptolemy XIII, this secret society is responsible for the oppression felt all throughout Egypt.
These high powered political and social figures believe that only with control can you achieve peace and order, and they are willing to do anything for it. Not only are they willing to kill anyone who gets in their way, they also exert influence over the major leaders of the ancient world. No one is safe from The Order.

Ptolemy XIII

At 12 years old, Ptolemy XIII becomes the most powerful person in Egypt. He initially shared the throne with his sister, Cleopatra, after their father’s death, but his youth & naivete made him susceptible to those with darker intentions.
After he leads a coup that drives his sister into exile, he is installed as Pharaoh. But he is nothing more than a pawn in a war much bigger than he could ever imagine, involving forces he doesn't know exist.

Cleopatra

Powerful. Intelligent. Beautiful. Cleopatra assumed the throne, along with her brother Ptolemy XIII, after their father died. But it wasn’t long before that power corrupted her sibling, and a coup forced her out of the throne and into a world of exile.
Now, she has to use her intelligence and beauty to convince Julius Caesar, along with the rest of his Roman countrymen, to help her reclaim her birthright and put her back on the throne that is rightfully hers.

Julius Caesar

With one eye always focused on surpassing Alexander the Great’s legacy, Julius Caesar’s ambition and drive to become a great conqueror is second to none. This focus, combined with his worldly experience and cunning in battle, inspires great loyalty in his men, helping to make him even more formidable against his foes.
As he looks to Egypt, a proud sovereign nation prey to a power struggle, he sees his next opportunity. But even with the weakness therein, he still needs help accessing Egypt’s inner circles. Enter Cleopatra, the recently exiled and rightful heir to the throne. With this new ally, Caesar may just be unstoppable.

Faiyum

Faiyum is another one of the many oasis lands in Egypt. It was once a great sea, but is now home to the bones of great, ancient whales. It’s also home to an abundance of history, that can be found throughout the land.

Siwa

Discover the agony of exile while walking among the poor souls of the Siwa Oasis, one of the loneliest and most isolated places in all of Ancient Egypt. It’s situated below sea level, making the climate hot and dry, and less-than-ideal for would-be scavengers. Still, there are temples, and even a necropolis, which means there’s plenty to be uncovered if you can handle the discomfort. Be careful as you traverse the barren sands, however, or you may find yourself losing your grip on reality.

Giza & Memphis

Positioned near the mouth of the Nile Delta, Giza and Memphis are home to the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian capital during the old kingdom. Explore the tombs and catacombs in search of the area’s lost secrets and dark tales. Decrypt hieroglyphics as you solve riddles and slowly unravel the foundations of this ancient civilization.

Kyrenaika

This highly intellectual and artistic area has been shaped by both the Greeks and Romans over the years, but don’t let its lush valley surroundings and highbrow undertakings fool you... It’s also a place wrought with danger and deception. Tread lightly in this fertile land.

Alexandria

This land, named after Alexander the Great, is the biggest city you'll explore and the mysteries herein are as legendary as the city’s namesake. Spend time in the Great Library, discover pantheons and seize glory in high-speed Hippodrome races. Make sure, however, to watch your back while wandering in the Great City.

Nile Delta

The Nile Delta is a land of plenty. And danger. The fertile lands where the Nile River flows into the Mediterranean Sea are the source of abundant life. Here you’ll find farmers tilling the land, growing the crops that keep the surrounding cities moving, and the soldiers and brutes who exert control over the people. What else will you find exploring these grounds?
