Once upon a time, in a small village nestled amidst verdant hills, lived a weaver named Jacob. Jacob was widely known for his exceptional skills in weaving the most intricate and beautiful fabrics. His creations were so captivating that people from neighboring villages would travel far and wide to purchase them. One sunny morning, as Jacob was setting up his loom to start his day's work, an old woman appeared at his doorstep. Her presence was somewhat mysterious, as she seemed to possess a certain aura about her. Jacob welcomed her in with open arms, eager to hear the purpose of her visit.
What's more, because the power of a demigod is right there in the back of their skulls, this also means the Deceived are even more immortal than Arisen; completely destroy one, the temakh just seizes the soul of its host and possesses a new body. Their presence also means that Deceived cults are substantially packing in supernatural mojo-and are gradually brainwashed by the temakh's power as they advance. Their relics aren't physical objects either, but more like memes; I forget the term, but they're pieces of the stars that fall and ascend from Earth in a gradual cycle.
Killing or radiating millions of innocent, non-American, non-European people, effectively destroying a vampire clan, and the three kung-fu bad-asses, and the whole world goes, eh, so what. The magic that created you, though, prevents you from remembering your past with perfect clarity - forgetting even what it means to be human, as you ve been a lich for five thousand years.
Jacob welcomed her in with open arms, eager to hear the purpose of her visit. The old woman introduced herself as Agatha, the village witch, known for her knowledge of nature and her ability to see into the future. She pleaded with Jacob to create a special fabric for her, telling him that it was for a noble cause.
Is the curse of the mummy REAL? Archaeologist claims he suffered a mystery illness that left him coughing up BLOOD and hallucinating after opening an Ancient Egyptian tomb
An archaeologist has claimed that he was left coughing up blood and hallucinating after he opened an Ancient Egyptian tomb. Ramy Romany was filming the TV show 'Mummies Unwrapped' for the Discovery Channel when he entered the crypt, which had been untouched for 600 years. A few hours later, on the way back to Cairo, he started feeling unwell, and the next day woke up with a 107°F (42°) fever and more severe symptoms. Doctors were called who gave him antibiotics, thinking he had picked up an infection from the dust or an animal, but he didn't recover fully for another four days. 'Whether it was a mummy curse or not, something in that tomb got me,' he told the Khaleej Times at the time.

In 2019, Mr Romany suffered his mystery illness after entering a tomb in the city of Amarna, where he was trying to find out more about the pharaoh Akhenaten.
WHAT WAS AMARNA?
The city of Tell el-Amarna, or Amarna, was built by the pharaoh Akhenaten as home for the cult of the sun god Aten and now contains thousands of graves. Akhenaten controversially placed much emphasis on the worship of the Egyptian sun, and away from Egyptian tradition of polytheism, the worship of multiple deities. Upon becoming Pharaoh, he ordered all the iconography of previous gods to be removed. After his death, his monuments were dismantled and hidden and his statues were destroyed. The city was abandoned around 10 years later, despite only being occupied for 15 years from 1347 to 1332 BC. One of Akhenaten’s sons was Tutankhaten, who went on to become pharaoh and took the name Tutankhamun, one of the most famous ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
AdvertisementHe said it was the 'closest to death [he's] ever been'. The TV presenter told the Khaleej Times: 'We were filming an episode trying to identify a mummy that we believe could be a figure from the Bible. 'And while we're filming that, we went into a tomb that hadn't been opened for years. 'We unlocked the door and the locals would stay away first to make sure there weren't any snakes or any curses. 'Not believing in curses, we just went straight through down staircases. 'The tomb was endless. We kept going down and it's quite dusty. And I was breathing it all in.' In January, he told The Jordan Harbinger Show that there were bats and snakes inside, as well as a strong 'ammonia bat urine smell'. He said: 'Your body is telling you stop breathing, this is not good. 'The dust is collecting, all that stuff is coming up, because we're walking in there for the first time and all that dust has settled. 'I'm a host on Discovery Channel, so I'm yelling at the camera and being very excited and I'm breathing all this c**p in.' That was when he started to feel unwell, and the next day was 'coughing blood' and 'hallucinating', and none of the doctors could work out what he had. He told the podcast: 'They put me on a bunch of antibiotics and I explained to them all where I was.

'They said: "Well, bats, snakes, dust; it's not a very good combination, it could be anything. We have not seen this combination of symptoms, but hopefully these antibiotics work."' While he does believe that there is a 'curse of the mummies', Mr Romany says he thinks its related to the build up of mould rather than anything supernatural. 'It's not an actual ghost of King Tut that comes out,' he told Mr Harbinger. 'But leaving a tomb closed for thousands of years with live organic materiel inside and then opening it for the first time and going inside is not healthy. 'People didn't wear masks back at the time when they're finding these things. so a lot of that happened, people died after opening tombs for the first time.'

In 1923, more than 20 people died in bizarre circumstances, linked to the opening of Tutankhamun's burial chamber in Luxor - including six in London. Legend has it that when one man - Lord Carnarvon - died after the tomb's opening, there was a short power failure and all the lights throughout Cairo went out. His son reported that back on his estate in England his favourite dog howled and suddenly dropped dead. A frenzied public blamed the 'Curse of Tutankhamun' and speculated on the supernatural powers of the ancient Egyptians. In 2002, a study was conducted that analysed the deaths related to the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun between 1923 and 1926. Researchers looked at how long 25 people survived after the date of their potential exposure. They found that there was no significant increase in mortality rates among those who were involved in tomb excavations, dispelling the myth of the curse. Indeed, Lord Carnarvon died five months after he first entered the tomb, and during that period did not have any symptoms. This has led some scientists to argue that his death was unrelated to his archaeological work. However, in 2003, two London doctors wrote to The Lancet and explained that he could have been infected after inhaling spores of the fungus Aspergillus . This fungus has been detected, amongst many others, on other ancient artefacts, including the mummy of Ramses II.

Aspergillus preys on people whose immune systems are seriously weakened by illness. When it invades humans, it causes a condition called aspergillosis, which primarily affects the lungs. There, the fungus can grow into a lump up to the size of a tennis ball that can be extremely difficult to eradicate. The infection can develop into invasive aspergillosis, where it spreads to the skin, brain, heart or kidneys. The doctors said that Lord Carnarvon may have inhaled dormant spores in the dust which could have been activated later, and his prior chest infections made him vulnerable to infection. While his cause of death was registered as pneumonia, the symptoms of aspergillosis are similar, so the possibility remains that this is the true 'curse'.
So at any rate, you play one of the Arisen, a mummified citizen of a mythical ancient Egypt. You serve the sorcerous, demonic god-kings of the underworld, wielding cosmic magic and powerful artifacts to protect the tombs and legacies of that forgotten Empire. The magic that created you, though, prevents you from remembering your past with perfect clarity - forgetting even what it means to be human, as you've been a lich for five thousand years.
Intrigued, Jacob agreed, and thus began their collaboration. Agatha provided Jacob with an array of colorful and rare threads that she had collected over the years. With each thread, she would tell Jacob a story of its origin, weaving tales of mythical creatures, enchanted forests, and magical lands. As Jacob weaved, he became more enchanted by Agatha's stories and grew fond of the mysterious old woman. Weeks turned into months, and Jacob found himself weaving fabrics that surpassed any of his previous creations. The villagers marveled at the intricate designs that seemed to come to life under Jacob's skilled hands. Little did they know that it was Agatha's threads and stories that fueled his inspiration. One day, as Jacob was nearing the completion of Agatha's fabric, she visited him once again. This time, she brought news that the noble cause she had mentioned before was none other than to save the village from an impending disaster. Agatha revealed that an evil sorcerer had cast a spell upon the villagers, causing their crops to wither and their livestock to fall ill. The only way to break the curse was to create a fabric infused with the essence of goodness and hope. Filled with determination, Jacob worked tirelessly day and night to finish the fabric. He poured his heart and soul into each stitch, infusing it with the love and compassion he felt for the village and its people. Finally, the fabric was complete, shimmering with a brilliance that seemed to radiate positive energy. The villagers gathered in awe as Agatha unveiled the fabric, explaining its purpose and the importance of their belief in its power. With bated breath, they watched as Agatha draped the fabric across the withered crops and sickened livestock. Miraculously, within moments, the curse was lifted, and life returned to the village. In gratitude, the villagers hailed Jacob and Agatha as heroes, celebrating their bravery and selflessness. The weaver and the witch became legendary figures in their village, forever remembered for their exceptional collaboration. Jacob continued to weave miraculous fabrics, now with a newfound sense of purpose and the knowledge that sometimes even the most unexpected partnerships can lead to the greatest of achievements..
