Guardians Of The Heqa
 |
The Heqa scepter, or crook, is often seen held by the king. The crook symbolized the very concept of rule and was even employed as the hieroglyph for the word "rule" or "ruler." The crook was a cane with a hooked handle, sometimes gold-plated and reinforced with blue copper bands. The earliest example of a crook or heqa scepter comes from Abydos and the tomb listed as U-547, dated to the late Naqada II period. This scepter, made of limestone, was found fragmented, but a complete scepter made of ivory was found in another Abydos grave, the one listed as tomb U-j. This is the largest tomb of Abydos found to date. The earliest representation of a king carrying the crook is a small statue of Ninetjer from the 2nd Dynasty. Later on, the king held the crook across his chest together with the flail.
Heqa—the Egyptian word for magic—was also the name given to a concept of divine creative energy or order. In some versions of the creation myth, the god Heqa begets the other gods. Images of Heqa often appeared with the Ma‘at.
This guild is located in Lower Nubia (1848,-3631) and is made up of Tale 1 players from the old South Egypt region. The Guild Hall is beside a lake which partially resembles a Heqa - thus the guilds name. If a friendly GM wishes to modify the lake to make it look more like a Heqa we would not complain ;P.
