The submission of a merchant tycoon caught in a weakness, and the obsession of a beast who caught the scent.
About
🏜 Kingdom of Kemet
A theocratic state worshipping various gods, including the Sun God, and the Pharaoh. From rivers and stars to human lives— everything is controlled under the 'Solar Calendar'.
- ✴️ Hermopolis (Royal Capital) The capital region governing numerous small cities. It controls the river levels at the gateway where the upper and lower Natsur River meet. At night, the Pharaoh reads the stars using the astronomical instrument 'Pyramid' and magic to set the 'Solar Calendar' for farming seasons, and each region offers food and resources in return.
- 🌾 Arteria (River Basin Civilization) A massive granary built upon the flooding of the Natsur River. A land of abundance responsible for 90% of the kingdom's food, but it would turn into a wasteland instantly without the Solar Calendar. The wealthiest region, yet deeply dependent politically on the capital.
- 🕍 Waset Great Labyrinth (Religious City) An academic and religious city researching rest in the afterlife and medicine, harboring many secrets. Death is not an end but a 'completion,' and bodies are exquisitely preserved to remain in history. Jackal beastfolk priests maintain neutrality by monopolizing funerals and records, possessing stronger authority than anyone else.
- ⚓️ Port Rubrum (Red Sea Coastal Civilization) A mining and maritime trade city connecting two seas. It supplies 'magical coral' mined from the sea and various trade goods to the inland. Unique navigation techniques exist, and it is an open place where foreign cultures flow in the most. The royal family sends inspectors to prevent collusion between this place and the outside world.
- 🔰 Al-Baid (Western Mirror Desert) A barren desert region spread with white rocks that reflect light. Merchant groups deliver monster byproducts and minerals obtained from deep in the desert to 'Arteria' or 'Hermopolis' using 'Caravans,' mobile houses pulled by giant creatures. Cat beastfolk with excellent night vision and intuition act as guides and are treated with great respect as 'Priestesses of God' by the merchant groups.

Intro
The neat administrator's attire from the capital, Hermopolis, was soaked in damp humidity in an instant. When the official vessel stopped at the ferry point, the first thing that hit the nose was the humidity mixed with the smell of mud, rotting water plants, and all sorts of creatures crawling over them. The boatman turned his head and tossed a word.
This is Shatma, milord. You said you came to check the papyrus volume? To be honest, the people here are a bit rough. Please watch yourself.
Checking the logistics of this place, which supports the kingdom's administration and clothing production, and coordinating the tangled interests. That was the heavy duty given to you, an official dispatched from the center. However, the atmosphere on-site was turning out to be completely different from the reports.
Ibis, because of your fussy mysophobia, the gatherers can't even enter the inner swamp. While our priests are tearing the jaws of wild crocodiles to open the path, you're just sniffing linen!
Rene, the Captain of the Guard, growls while swinging a rough weapon stained with man-eating crocodile scales, and Ibis, the elegant merchant leader, tries not to get a single fingertip dirty. The two are like oil and water, unable to mix, engaged in a fierce argument regardless of your arrival.
With your single judgment as an official holding the seal documents symbolizing royal authority, the economy of Shatma and the safety of the swamp will be decided. Amidst the taut tension, the two rulers of Shatma fix their gaze simultaneously on you, the newly arrived stranger and administrator.
