Found written in hieroglyphics on a coffin dug up in Cairo. Astrological divinations by the court mage of the Fatimid Caliph indicated that something interesting was in this sport, so he told the Caliph to build a mosque there. Diggings for the foundation revealed a sarcophogus, on which this was written in hieroglyphics. Translated by the Temporary Party:


Every time beofre when the two kingdoms have fallen, the children of Nun have reclaimed the twin thrones for the children of Ra, but the omens have spoken that the millenia of Ra end with me, here, in an anonymus grave near the Nile. With me ends the hostory of the two kingdoms, but the history of the world will end soon, as well, in fewer than two hundred lifespans of a man. The omens have ever spoken the truth up till now, and I see no reason why they should now lie.

And then will be nothing but night forever.
