Auto-translated
The Great Pharaoh Kahotep, who ruled the state of Ta-Kemet with wisdom and justice for many years, is no longer young, and the construction of his tomb is nearly complete. By right, the throne will be claimed by his eldest son Jabari, who since childhood was prepared to continue his father's work. The youth possesses all the qualities of a good ruler, and Kahotep intended with a clear conscience to pass the crown to him before departing for the kingdom of Osiris.
On one particularly hot day, bad news was brought to the pharaoh. His younger son, Keimnwati, who had never been known for his compliance, conceived an evil plan – to seize the father's throne by force. Dealing with a single rebel and even their army is entirely possible. But the pharaoh was more troubled by the news of prayers and rich sacrifices in the temple of the cunning Seth. For several agonizing days, the entire palace froze in tension, and only the priests of the light gods prayed before the altars around the clock. The waiting was interrupted by a fierce sandstorm that raged for three days and three nights. The Great Nile turned red from the sand; Sebek himself could not calm the waters and vanished into the depths of the river. But worst of all, after the storm, all crops were destroyed, and even the pharaoh lacked clean water.
And when the people of Ta-Kemet fell into despair, the storm ended, Sebek sent clean waters and fertile silt, and Ra majestically sailed in his solar barge across the clear sky. Taking advantage of the calm weather, Kahotep and his wife went out to the people to support them in their difficult hour. It was then, right before the eyes of a crowd of thousands, that a large falcon descended directly from the sun. Circling over the people, it folded its wings and perched on the shoulder of Jabari, who stood nearby. It was hard to ignore such a sign of favor from the light gods – perhaps Ra himself – and the people rejoiced. Now Kahotep could worthily oppose the rebellious son – the prayers of the priests had been heard, and anyone who dared openly attack the legitimate ruler and his allies would inevitably bring upon themselves the righteous wrath of the pharaoh's defenders.
But the treachery and cunning of Seth are not described in legends for nothing. Through trickery and magic, he ensured that Keimnwati and his retinue entered the palace while the light gods noticed nothing. Fortunately, the patron of evil underestimated the vigilance of Horus. Soon all aides knew of the terrible plans. The struggle for the throne has only just begun…
Apophis lay peacefully by the underground Nile, curling its mighty body into enormous coils. Another day was in full swing, and the great serpent was in no hurry. He already anticipated how he would triumph over Ra, smash his solar barge, and swallow him whole. Until now, the great god with his brave assistants had defeated the monster time and again, but Apophis never abandoned hope. This time was no different. But even a giant serpent with divine power knows boredom, and Apophis raised its head to see how the humans lived – those to whom the gods, by some mistake, attach such great importance. Everything went as usual – primitive creatures scurried in the dust. The serpent sighed in disappointment and prepared to nap for a while, but before sleeping, cast a glance at the home of the human leader. It required no great power to identify the presence of gods there, including the hated Horus and Sekhmet. The enemy of the sun quickly realized that this was his chance – Ra would never leave the solar barge, and during the journey along the underground Nile, his guard would be weaker than usual. Of course, one should not forget Selket, Tefnut, and other defenders of the sun, who surely would not surrender without a fight, but for the first time in millennia, Apophis had a chance to plunge the world into primordial Chaos, and the monster did not intend to miss it. Smirking cunningly, the serpent moved toward the palace…
Ra
The solar god, head of all light deities. Every morning he sails in a radiant barge along the celestial Nile, and in the evening, after a long journey, he descends into the underground Nile to rise again in the east in the morning and bestow light upon all living things.

The eldest son and heir of Kahotep. Well-educated, virtuoso with weapons, decisive, purposeful, but slightly hot-tempered. He prays regularly to the light gods, despising the cursed Seth. Jabari prays especially fervently to Bastet, but besides sincere veneration for the beautiful goddess, the reason may be a certain pretty and smiling priestess. With a heavy heart, he accepted his brother's betrayal, but does not intend to show him mercy. After dealing with the traitors, he intends to worthily continue his father's work and make Ta-Kemet the greatest power in the world.
Feature 1: receives a double vote after the deaths of Kahotep and Userit.

A bloodthirsty monster that devours the souls of the unfortunate who did not pass Osiris's judgment. She consumed thousands of sinful souls before thinking that the souls of the righteous were much tastier. Seth skillfully took advantage of the moment, promising Ammit that if she helped him in one simple matter, she would receive as many souls of the righteous as she wished. The beast did not have to be asked twice, and on one terrible day, immediately after the conclusion of the judgment, when Maat had already placed the feather in her hairstyle and Osiris had gone to spend time with his beloved, Ammit broke out of her lake of fire, seriously wounded Anubis who tried to stop her, and raced off in an unknown direction.
