Users > Hekatef

In Tale 1, Oracle of Thought. In Tale 2, Student of Three (Architecture, Body, Worship).

In this telling, just your average Level 26 Student of Four (Architecture, Body, Harmony, Worship) and husband to KettaMow. My current goals are many!

Home camp is in northern Tanis. Co-Elder, with Samut, of the Order of Khet, making a triumphal reappearance from its First Telling incarnation. Camp coords will follow, but basically, it's like this: start at the UWorship and go northeast just a stone's throw. See that compound? No, not that one, the other one? That's me!

Paint

Need paint? Gimme a call! I can produce paint in mass quantities (given the materials), and I currently offer 113 vibrant colors for your aesthetic enjoyment. If you don't see what you need, ask me anyway and I'll try to figure it out.

Hekatef's Paint Catalog

I'll mix paint for the cost of materials, plus a small tip (customer's discretion). Mixing and trading is done at my secret laboratory in my camp in Tanis.

Beer

Although I don't plan to stockpile beer expressly for trading (for one thing, my beer only stays fresh for 1 day), for special occasions I might be persuaded to do a little brewin' on demand. Call me and we'll negotiate a price.

Once the Banquet and Festival tests are opened, I will of course be available to provide beer and ambrosia for those as well.

Game Ideas

Here's a link to my Scratchpad where I jot down my various game and test suggestions. Feel free to add comments!

Family History

Four generations ago, during the First Stranger's Challenge, the great founder Hekatef I began his career in obscurity, making a home just north of the Lake of Reeds in modern-day Tanis. In time he rose to become a figure in his community as well as a skilled paint mixer, a celebrated brewer, and an Oracle of Thought. Hekatef was selected to complete the Monument of Thought after the first Oracle succumbed to poison, and had the honor of consecrating the final monument of the First Telling. Afterwards, Hekatef lived out the remainder of his days in prosperity, and was entombed in a great pyramid near his home.

Hekatef I lived long, but not long enough to witness Egypt's slow ennui and decline which eventually set in during the years after the Stranger's Challenge. But his son Hapu embodied the spirit of the new generation; being unlike his father, he grew bored of domestic life and became a trader. Hapu prospered in his own way, but his commercial journeys took him farther and farther from the declining Egypt until ultimately he stayed away altogether.

Hekatef II, son of Hapu, was born beyond Egypt's borders, but felt a reverence for the land of his ancestors. Therefore when word spread of the repopulation of the Nile and the challenge of Gharib, the second Stranger, he traveled far to return to the land of the pharaohs. Hekatef II made his home in Kush (then called Lower Nubia). His contribution to Egypt's efforts was not a large one. His name is one of the many inscribed upon the second Monument to the Human Body. Outside of the Monument, he gained some fame as a keen-eared crafter of glass chimes.

The current Hekatef is Hekatef III, grandson of Hekatef II and great-great-grandson of the family founder. (But obviously, in the game he's just called Hekatef.)
