Testament of the First Peoples

And our Lord spake: “Behold, I am Sutekh, master of the primordial, shaper of storms, and he who has conquered death. As the waters of the Nile drew life out of the desert sands, so I have drawn you from your world of death, to life eternal.” “I raised this place from the waters of Nun, from the nothingness of what came before, and have brought you here to raise a great city. From the red sands of the desert, our greatness shall spill forth to cover these lands like a garden of reeds. Those who follow shall bring forth multitudes, and hold themselves inheritors of all this power and glory.” “But those who disobey, they shall be cursed with wanderlust. Into the desert, I commend their kin, to scrape out a living from the dust. There, they shall know despair. For their pride I curse them to deathless life, for in their hubris they have turned their back on true divinity. And their punishment shall be unending!”
