To Legatus Crassus

To the one known as Legatus Crassus, I see by your order and discipline of your ranks, that you are a strong soldier and veteran of many campaigns of conquest. But by now it is surely known to you that this land is like no other that you have dared to tame. The wages of immortality render the prospect of prolonged conflict grim, and the ruins you now call home are evidence that there are greater dangers slumbering beneath the sands of this strange and terrible place. And so, in the interest of peace, and the prosperity of the greater whole, I make this proposal: take me into your service. You have, no doubt, gained much in the way of wisdom through your travels and tribulations. You should then know, then, that I have lived many lifetimes and died many deaths in the pursuit of such knowledge. I offer you this insight, along with my vast chronicles of this new world and its denizens, if you will only agree to entertain my council. If you find my terms acceptable, look for me at the foot of the Great Pyramid. I will be waiting. -Imhotep, Sage of the Brimstone Sands
