Quite fruitful negotiations with the pharaohs finally came to an end - and for the signing of the historic decree, no doubt, it was necessary to hold the ceremony in the square in front of the palace. It was only a formality, but the imperial tradition demanded that it be observed. And for the Pharaohs themselves, it was to be a beautiful starting point for their long and heroic journey under the Empire’s standard.
And when there were only a few minutes left before the beginning of the triumph, the image of a court magician suddenly appeared within the walls of the capital's palace in the midst of the reigning light fuss. Abu-Bakir looked a little tired, which was not surprising. According to his assistants, the wizard worked every waking moment for a month on a very important scientific project. Fortunately, he did manage to find a free minute to attend such an important event for the Empire.
"Master!" Suddenly there was an enthusiastic call from someone, but before Abu-Bakir could even orientate himself, the image of a young pharaoh immediately appeared before him, "nice to finally meet you!"
"Greetings, young friend of the Empire," the sorcerer answered with a friendly smile on his face.
"My people are in unpaid debt to you," continued the young man quietly, causing a slight sense of anxiety to the wizard, which caused his gaze to run slightly around, "Don't worry, they don't know anything," added the Pharaoh almost in half a whisper. He then took out a mysterious roll and extended it to his companion, "We have destroyed the pyramid of the false Sun, and found it there. I don't know why, but our elders thought it should belong to you". Slightly lowering his guard with curiosity, Abu-Bakir cautiously accepted the gift and began to unravel it leisurely. Suddenly his heart seemed to freeze for a moment when he saw the outlines of the golden tip of a sun baculus. It looked completely unharmed - not a single scratch or trace of the flame could be seen on him. Carefully touching it, the sorcerer suddenly felt a strange feeling, which he had already once felt. When he took in his hands the royal sceptre of Altor IV Lightful. Absolutely nothing - no cold, no heat, no internal streams of magic. It was both frightening and mysteriously peaceful.
"I think I should go now!" The enthusiastic response of the young man suddenly ripped Abu-Bakir out of a trance that absorbed him for a moment, and the young pharaoh was already nowhere to be seen.
"I am glad that you have decided to attend this ceremony," said the Empress, suddenly the voice of the Empress was heard from behind the sorceress's back, which made him shudder. He turned around a little hesitantly, clutching the fingers of the hand in which he held the roll with the tip of a staff, "Your presence may have a beneficial effect on their fighting spirit," continued the Lady.
"Your Majesty...?" ...the court wizard spoke in confusion...
"I hope that your actions will not become systematic?" Suddenly the Empress continued in a stricter tone.
"It was a measure of last resort" Abu-Bakir responded with a slightly trembling voice.
"And yet…"
"No, Your Majesty," the wizard responded more confidently.
"I am glad to hear that" after a few moments the severity on the Empress's face suddenly dispelled, and then the words came out that in a moment they dispelled all the fear and anxiety in the heart of Abu-Bakir "Please accept my condolences"
"Thank you," the court magician replied briefly, bowing his head respectfully before Her Majesty and following her to the opening of the ceremony in honour of the accession of the Pharaohs to the rank of full subjects of the Empire.
Lords and Ladies! On this remarkable day, the Empire presents to you a new faction that stands under our standards. From now on and forever the Pharaohs will be declared full subjects of the Empire and will have the right to purchase their own castle and personal army and enjoy complete freedom to use their magic. And may the sun shine on our glorious path together!
 
Pharaoh is a completely new faction within the expanses of the Empire, whose distinguishing features are:
- The unique racial ability is the Shining Moon and Sun. Due to their racial ability, the pharaohs during the battle constantly feel the action of one of the effects of the cycle: the Sun phase or the Moon phase. The phases change after each Lord's turn. The Sun phase - empowers all Holy magic spells, the Moon phase - empowers all Darkness magic spells: decreases their cost and empowers the spell power of magic, thereby empowering the duration of their casting.
- The central talent is "Shining of Moon and Sun". During the cycle the Holy and Darkness mass spells become available, if there are corresponding spells of 1-3 levels unlocked;
- The faction skill level has an effect on the increase in spell power when calculating the strengthening of Holy and Darkness spells in the corresponding phases. Calculation formula: [1 + faction skill / 2] - so, at FSL 10, 6 spell power will be added at the moment of casting the spell.
In honour of their arrival in the Empire, Pharaohs have a special 20% discount on all buildings in the castle until September 6, 2020!
Welcome to the new faction in the lands of the Empire! |
