[Culture] Rah'muns - Blessed of The Sands

[Boknice275 1186]

 

A group Rah’muns congregating in everyday life.

 

The Rah’muns, also known as the Blessed of the Sands and the Keepers of Ka’tau, are an ancient desert dwelling civilization traditionally composed of humans and elves which originate from the distant continent of Kemet-taw, or Kemet for short. Over the course of their civilization they evolved from small desert villages into a fearsome empire, spanning entire regions of land, including numerous members of all descendant races within its ranks, and containing numerous countries.

The original holy lands of Rah’tuma in Kemet-Taw where Naseret ruled

 

Rah’mun history is divided into three distinct eras: Hat-am-ankh (The early Kingdom, reign of Naseret the first Pharaoh), Hry-nekt-ta (the middle Kingdom period, which documents the reign of 40 Pharaohs in succession) and Ate-nek-pa (Modern Kingdom which occurred shortly before the Dawn of Isfet) and the present age called Isfe-nek-at (era of Isfet and exile). 

 

An event known as the Dawn of Isfet marked the beginning of the Isfe-nek-at period and saw the Rah’mun empire thrown into disarray and scattered across the continents of the world, splintered into factions that either integrated into other cultures or built isolated enclaves in the world’s deserts. This moment is less popularly known as the “Post-Empire” era, as it also conveys a sense of decline in Rah’mun glory.  In recent times, Rah’mun descendants and converts in Aevos have gathered under the banner of an enigmatic Pharaoh called Atemu-Ta and live in the city of Rah’tuma. 

 

The agenda of many modern-day Rah’muns involves restoring the glory of previous historical eras to their modern civilization, and bringing balance to the world through fervent devotion to their way of life and service to the Gods. Indeed, Aevosian Rah’muns are a deeply religious and proud people who devote themselves entirely to the principles of Ka’tau, the guiding set of religious ethics for Rah’mun society. They are also adventurous, curious, and inventive, all traits the many in Rah’mun society hope will help their civilization and all descendants prosper once more.

 

In addition to enriching the cultures of Aevos with their creative wares, Rah’muns are also known for taking an aggressive stance against the forces of Isfet, or chaos, the opposite of Ka’tau. Rah’muns of all areas in their society are commonly seen slaying darkspawn, driving away afflictions from the souls of the innocent, and judging minor and major crimes by invoking the law of Ka’tau, all with the aim of ensuring Ka’tau reigns strongly throughout the lands of the world. 

Rah’mun converts conversing together

 

Sample Rah’mun skins (guidelines, not mandatory):

 

 

Rah’mun culture is marked by a deep religious belief in a moral spiritual law named Ka’tau, who is also personified by the Goddess of the same namesake.  Rah’muns believe Ka’tau embodies the concept of cosmic order, truth, balance, and justice. This philosophy heavily influences how Rah’muns see the world around them, and the structure of their own society and culture. As long as the universe revolves around Ka’tau this purity would ensure that harmony reigns strongly throughout mortal affairs and societies. Isfet (chaos) is strongly condemned by Rah’muns as the source of all evil and disorder in the world. It is the battle between these opposing forces - Ka’tau and Isfet - that informs the Rah’mun worldview.

 

 It is believed that the Pharaoh is an important figure in the battle between Ka’tau and Isfet, and he is entrusted to keep the balance by warding away Isfet by acting as a symbol for strong morals in Rah’mun civilization. Some Rah’muns see the Pharaoh as a divine figure in his own right, worthy of devotion to the level of a God. Others see the Pharaoh as a strong and necessary figure who has the sanction of the Gods, but is still a mere mortal. 

 

 

Rah’muns also emphasize purity and health in everyday life. Fighting tournaments, archery sessions, fishing, exploration, and other physical activities are emphasized to ward away ailments of the body and mind. A body burdened by sickness cannot act properly, nor can a mind starved by vice think clearly. Mortality is an accepted fact in Rah’mun society - and their interpretation of death will be mentioned later - but to refuse to maintain oneself is considered an act of negligence and, to some, even evil. On matters of purity, many Rah’muns abstain from taking overindulgence in drinking, food, drugs, or other vices that bestow impurity. The avoidance of these vices has little to do with prudishness or tastes, in fact, Rah’mun ethics holds that personal beliefs are inferior to the ultimate truth is found in Ka’tau. Impurity is seen as a gateway into a disordered life and society, a penalty that will be paid upon death by harsh judgment from the Gods and in life with the ascent of Isfet in the world. The Cow Goddess Hesthor acts as the icon of purity within Rah’mun civilization. In honor of both the concept of purity and its personification in Hesthor, Rah’muns indulge in blessed waters from Hesthor’s temples, and keep their cities and homes orderly through many means, including washing them with the Bovine Mother’s waters.

 

Rah’muns are visionaries by nature, and aspire to perfect the resources Creation has given them to better the world. As such, there is a great emphasis on merchantry and innovation within Rah’mun society. Many Rah’muns practice multiple skills or trades at once, and sell valuable cultural wares to the nations of the world. 

 

 

Rah’mun religion flows from the culture’s devotion to Ka’tau. Rah’muns have a polytheistic spiritual belief system that is based upon following the principles of Ka’tau by worshiping many distinct Gods. The main three Gods are the Ra’tuhmet, Creator God whose domain is the sun and light; Hesthor, a Goddess associated with purity and rivers; and Kalthet, a goddess of strategy and wisdom in war. There are many other Gods within the Rah’mun canon that demand worship - over 1,000 of them, it is believed - most of which are contained in the many volumes of the “Book of the Gods.” Each God has their own unique role and domain. For example, the Cow Goddess Hesthor acts as the icon of purity within Rah’mun civilization. In honor of both the concept of purity and its personification in Hesthor, Rah’muns indulge in blessed waters from Hesthor’s temples, and keep their cities and homes orderly through many means, including washing them with the Bovine Mother’s waters.

 

Rah’muns believe that their actions in life must be ordered by Ka’tau and specifically follow the “Forty-two laws of Ka’tau” as the centerpiece of their religious practice. Rah’mun religion is often not practiced in temples or buildings by most people, but is lived out in everyday life through adherence to Ka’tau’s laws.

 

Rah’muns believe the Gods are locked in eternal conflict with Isfet and need the prayers and devotions of their followers to triumph. 

 

Religion in Rah’mun society is overseen supremely by the Pharaoh, who has the ultimate say on all religious matters, doctrines, and practice. The second-most powerful class of people in the Rah’mun religious hierarchy  are the Netjers, also known as priests. Netjers are seen as the voice and will of the Gods in the world. They often wield the power of their respective God - called Heka - and devote it to their priestly duties. Worship of the Gods takes place in temples devoted to a specific God or Gods. Every temple has a Nehemtempi Netjer (a high priest) and several regular Netjer below him who are responsible for undertaking religious rituals, assisting the Remtju with spiritual and religious matters, and maintaining the sanctity of the society through offerings and prayers to the Gods. The Nehemtempi Netjer oversees the priests and the internal dogmas of their respective temples, though deference is given to the Pharaoh in all manners of interpretation.

 

All temples and priesthoods play different roles in Rah’mun society. Nesahor’s priests tend to funerary rites and oversee the protection of the dead and dying. Hesthor’s temples cleanse impurities and keep Rah’mun sentiments in line with Ka’tau.. Ka’tau’s priesthood executes the judgment of Ka’tau upon Isfetians and wayward Rah’muns on behalf of their Goddess and her forty-two assessors. Tetu and Kalthet’s priesthood devise spiritual strategies for defense of Rah’tuma and its allies. Some Rah’mun cities have one main priesthood and thus devote themselves to a single concept; others worship multiple Gods and integrate their functions respectively. 

 

The influence of the Gods reaches every corner of the Rah’mun worldview. The great Rah’mun empires named their militaries and city guard forces after the Gods, specifically Kalthet and her consort Tetu. Netjer (priests) are often called to drive away sicknesses and supernatural afflictions with the power of Heka, and to invoke the wrath of the Gods and Ka’tau upon the Pharaoh’s foes and agents of Isfet. 

 

 

 Ka’tau brought forth the God Ra’tuhmet, sometimes called Ra, who then took her Heka and used it to shape the universe and the world all descendants inhabit. After finishing his work the Ra’tuhmet took the form of the sun that had a curved flaming eye at its center. From the Ra’tuhmet’s Creations came two Goddesses, Hesthor, who was given dominion over Creation’s purity, and Kalthet, who was charged to strategize against future enemies of Ka’tau. This event marked the beginning of recorded Rah’mun history and the era Hat-am-ankh.
 

Once the Ra’tuhmet became the sun, he created the original descendant races and all of their seminal figures, such as Krug, Horen, and so forth. Around this same time a force of chaos emerged at the edges of Creation that did not receive the fullness of the Ra’tuhmet’s light. Isfet was born in this moment and initially took the form of a dreaded entity called Keop, the fallen God of fear, darkness, and chaos, the exact opposite of the Ra’tuhmet. Keop’s influence entered into the minds of the earliest descendants and tried to turn their hearts against the law of Ka’tau. Corruption was introduced to the world, darker forms of Heka (isfetian magicks) came into existence, and rebellion, lawlessness, and chaos were first seen in descendant societies. Many Rah’mun citizens began turning away from the Gods and serving their own interests, as Keop had taught them.

 

Naseret, the first Pharaoh, cried out to the Flaming Eye and asked for guidance as he watched his people forsake the Gods and turn away from Ka’tau. The Flaming Eye then appeared to him and revealed its true nature as the falcon-headed Ra’tuhmet, God of Sunlight and Creation, and then bequeathed his power upon Naseret. This event made Naseret the first Netjer to wield Heka - in the words of other cultures, the first “Shaman.”  

 

Naseret drove Keop out of the lands of descendants with Heka and helped the Ra’tuhmet begin his eternal war against the darkness. Rah’muns believe this war explains the cycles of night and darkness. When the sun lowers, the Ra’tuhmet is in the realm of Keop upon his solar barge, surrounded by a plethora of Gods, fighting the draconic Keop until his defeat, then returning to the waking world upon victory.

 

But another problem arose around this time. Another force of chaos emerged from the edge of Creation, appearing as a ‘red flame’. From this form was birthed the one called Kazul, an agent of the entity known to some as ‘Iblees’. Kazul, a deformed creature composed of screaming souls with the head of a mangled dog,  Isfetian fire, and unholy wrath, led his armies against the people of Naseret. Kazul’s reign of terror introduced another Isfetian force to the world, though his rule ended quickly. Naseret met Kazul’s armies in an oasis on the continent of Kemet-Taw and invoked Hesthor to consecrate the oasis waters. He then caused the blessed waters to rise from the oasis and drown the armies of Isfet, sweeping them away and sending their accursed souls to forever drown in the Great River of Hesthor’s realm. 

 

Despite Naseret’s great victories, Isfet had now formally been introduced to the world in two forms, and as time marched on it would manifest new powers, figures, and forms. The Rah’mun people now lived in a world overrun by Isfet, and the Pharaoh became the figure to keep the balance between order and chaos. Many Rah’muns attribute the rise of Isfet during this era to the constant hardship, infiltration, and attack Rah’mun society faces from the many forces of Isfet. 

 

 

Death in Rah’mun society is an intricate matter that appears commonly in cultural mores and practices. The Rah’mun faith acknowledges two Gods that are over the process of death, burial, funerals, and the underworld which is called the Duat: Kambatet, the King of the Duat and brother of Nesahor; and Neshaor, the jackal-headed ferryman of souls and the God of funerary rites, the process of embalming, mummification, and caring for the dead. 

 

Rah’muns believe one’s actions in life are recorded and reflected in their soul upon death. For Rah’muns, death is not the end of life, but the beginning of a new stage of existence where one’s actions in life are judged by the Goddess Ka’tau and her Forty-Two judges. At the moment of death, Nesahor shepherds the Khnem (soul) through the Duat and towards the Hall of Judgment. Once at the Hall of Judgment the dead meet several Gods, including the personification of Ka’tau, forty-two lesser Gods that provide judgment for all forty-two laws of Ka’tau, Te’uth the God of Wisdom who records the results of the judgment in the Book of Ankh, and Kambatet, the ruler of the Duat. The individual’s heart is placed on a scale alongside a golden feather of Ka’tau which also represents Hesthor’s purity. If one’s sins against Ka’tau represented in their heart weigh less than the feather, they will be granted access into the Field of Reeds to live for eternity alongside the Gods, but if the heart weighs more than the feather they will be consumed by the destroyer Kammit. 

 

Neshaor may opt to annihilate particularly Isfetian souls himself before their arrival at the Hall of Judgment. Particularly tormented souls receive special treatment from Nesahor’s priests in the process of their burial. Nesahor’s priests include prayers and offerings for the deceased in their coffins to ward off bad luck during their journey in Duat and provoke the mercy of the Gods. In general, all Rah’mun burial rites include prayers to the Gods, known as sarcophagus texts, to entreat mercy and protection upon the passed soul and anyone connected with them during their journey in the Duat. Some coffins have inscriptions of particular Gods and Goddesses upon them, such as Amaunet, Tetu, or Hesthor, to ward off against specific dangers such as tomb pillaging, isfetian magicks, and military conquests that might threaten the integrity of the burial ground. 

 

The rituals of death also take great importance in Rah’mun culture. Heroes, Viziers, Pharaohs, and figures of great importance in Rah’mun society undergo a different burial process than those of lesser status. These venerated persons are given a special burial in the form of mummification to preserve the body, and they are gifted with greater tombs with grander offerings and more intricate prayers inscribed upon them.

 

Given their culture’s emphasis on proper burial rites and the narrative of death, Rah’muns take great offense at necromancy, or any art that is fueled by dead organic material such as Vamapires and Blood Magicians. Priests of Nesahor are often called upon to execute their patron’s judgment upon necromancers, undead, the restless dead, and others who would defy the Ferryman’s call to the Duat. 

 

 

Rah’mun language is called Kem-ne or Kemne. It is as ancient as Rah’mun civilization and is said to have been created by Te’uth, the Rah’mun God of Wisdom, as a unique way for the citizens of Rah’mun civilization to communicate with each other. It is common to hear both converts and birthright Rah’muns use different variations of Kemne. Dwarvish and Elven Rah’mun converts tend to mix their own native languages in with Kemne, though only to a minor extent, as linguistic purity is also emphasized in Rah’mun culture. Both common and Kemne tend to be the most common languages spoken by Rah’muns.  Here are some of the common phrases and sayings of the language. 

 

"Leh-iy" - A traditional greeting meaning "hi" or "hello."

"Reh-neb-seneb!" - A friendly greeting, roughly translating to "May you have good health!"

"Em hotep!" - A common greeting meaning "In peace!" or "with peace"

"Senenmut hotep?" - A way to ask "How are you?" with respect to well-being.

"Ankh wedja seneb!" - A kind farewell, wishing the best for the other person.

"Wedja ib-ek!" - A traditional way to say "cheer up" if someone is sad.

Rah’mun civilization is led by an absolute monarch called the Pharaoh, sometimes also referred to simply as “King.” Rah’mun lore holds that the Pharaoh possesses a divine mandate to govern and that he and all of his agents are directly accountable to the Goddess who personifies the personification of the law of Ka’tau. Some argue that the Pharaoh’s authority flows from the divinity of his own Khnem, establishing him as a deity in his own right. Members of the Pharaoh’s royal family are generally considered to have little political power unless given explicit authority by the Pharaoh or his wife. In many cases, Rah’mun queens have the same authority as their husbands, but they cannot contradict the Pharaoh’s orders in their own rulings. 

 

Below the Pharaoh in the structure of governance is his Vizier, the highest office to serve in all of Rah’tuma. The Vizier holds supreme authority over all governance and administration matters within the lands of Rah’tuma. He is tasked with being the Pharaoh’s voice to the people and the manager of the Kingdom. He also implements the Pharaoh’s orders, ensures his security, oversees the Rah’mun military, collects taxes, bears the Pharaoh’s seal, executes the enforcement of laws within Rah’tuma and territorial disputes abroad, conducts diplomacy, among other important administrative activities. Any decision that the Vizier makes can be overturned by the Pharaoh, but many Viziers are generally left alone to run the Kingdom while the Pharaoh is left to handle non-administrative matters. In the Pharaoh’s absence the Vizier effectively assumes all powers necessary to keep the Kingdom functioning. The Vizier’s presence in legal disputes, spiritual debates, and daily Rah’mun life allows him to be one of the most cherished cultural icons in all of Rah’tuma. 

 

Below the Vizier on the Rah’mun political hierarchy is the Nehemtempi Machimoi of the Rah’mun armed forces. This individual is responsible for commanding Rah’tuma’s army at the Pharaoh or Vizier’s will, and overseeing all guard forces throughout the kingdom. 

 

The fourth and final political authority in Rah’mun society are the Nehemtempi Netjers - high priests in common language. The high priests are in control of their respective temples and play a role in setting both doctrines and norms for the worship of a certain God. They also control all activities within their respective temples including the frequency of rituals, initiation of new priests, transmission of divine blessings upon the deserving, and other consequential uses of their God’s Heka in Rah’mun society. All doctrine and temple activity is subject to reversal by divine decree from the Vizier, or ultimately, the Pharaoh. 

 

 

Rah’muns believe that Creation is a product of divine will that is infused with two dual forces: Ka, vitality, and life that flows from that animating principle, Ankh. These two concepts are represented by hieroglyphic depictions of a river and a cross with a curved loop attached to it, respectively. Many Rah’mun Gods and Pharaohs are often depicted carrying an Ankh sceptre or object in their hand, symbolizing their dominion over life in the world. Following this belief Rah’mun culture holds that the only legitimate magical forces are those which flow directly from the blessings of the Gods which is called Heka by most scholars. Heka is a core part of religious worship in both temples and households in Rah’mun culture, and it is also essential to the preservation of Ka’tau and the natural order of Creation. Alchemy is also seen by the Rah’muns as an extension of the natural wonders of the Gods due to its intimate reliance on the divinely-inspired world order. Although uses of alchemy that disrespect the dead or attempt to mimic the Ra’tuhmet’s act of Creation in a grotesque way, like Homunculi, are looked down upon by Rah’muns. 

 

 The other word for magic in Rah’mun lore which reflects powers that rebel against Creation and the law of Ka’tau is called Hek-binet-Isfet or Hek-Isfe, which translates to “magic corrupted by chaos” or “the power of chaos.” Magicks in this category include those that belong to forces that are considered enemies to the Gods, Creation’s natural order, the law of Ka’tau, or the Pharaoh such as voidal magicks, the powers of the aengudaemonica, magicks sourced from dark or eldritch forces, or unknown powers that contradict the doctrines of Ka’tau. Any magic that degrades the body for power, like blood magic, is also considered starkly Isfetian and is also barred in Rah’mun society. 

 

For these reasons many Rah’muns frown upon anyone who practices any ‘magic’ except Heka, alchemy, or basic mana manipulations that fail to contradict their ethics. The penalties for practicing Isfetian magick in Rah’mun society range from floggings, being cleansed of the foul powers by Heka or, in some cases, death. Netjer of Hesthor often rule on which magicks constitute as true Heka or Isfetian, as the Goddess Hesthor is deeply concerned about preserving the worship of purity within Rah’tuma. In accordance with the Rah’mun duty to defend creation, it is common for groups of Machimoi (warriors) to accompany priests of Hesthor to cleanse and purify individuals and places overrun by the influence of Isfetian magicks. 

 

 

Rah'muns commonly marry within their social circles, and there is no formal marriage ceremony in Rah'tuma, but the closest thing to a formal ceremony would be to marry in front of a shrine of a god, most commonly the Goddess of Purity Hesthor to ensure a commitment to vows, and have a priest of that god bless the marriage. There is often a contract between the groom and father of the bride during courtship, the contract includes the names, occupations, and property of the couple and their parents, as well as the date of the Pharaoh’s rule. Marriage is considered a sacred bond between the couple and the Gods, the couple would offer gifts to the Gods and exchange gifts with each other. After the couple is officially married, there is a celebration and they move into a home together where they enjoy a feast and entertainment with each other and their families. The celebration can last several days and be big depending on the wealth and status of the newly wed couple. The husband is seen as the head of the household, however the wife can own and inherit property from him. 

 

 

 

The Kingdom of Rah’tuma’s armed forces is called the Hand of Tetu, a reference to sphinx God of civilizational defense who is also consort to Kalthet. The Hand’s primary goal is to stand in defense of all Rah’mun territories, shrines, and sacred sites. They also provide security for members of Rah’tuma’s royal family, the vizier, and other important figures as needed. “Machimoi '' make up the hand’s structure, as do priest-warriors and ultimately the Pharoh and Vizer themselves who assume ultimate command over the Hand. The most important duty of the Hand is its defense of Ka’tau throughout the world. The Hand is known for accompanying Netjer of Hesthor to destroy sites of Isfetian influence around the world, target troublesome individuals, and fight foul forces when they arise. A warrior in the Hand is not simply an average fighter - they are an instrumental part of ensuring all foes of Creation, spiritual or mundane, face the wrath of the Gods.

 

 

There are thousands of Gods within the Rah’mun canon, but only a select few of them receive daily worship from the Rah’mun people. Many Rah’muns uncover obscure or forgotten Gods and begin temples for them regularly, so this list is not entirely exhaustive. The more prominent Gods within Rah’mun religion are as follows:

 

Ra’tuhmet -  also known simply as Ra - the God of eternal sunlight and Creation.

Grommash fondly remembers his warriors breaching the walls of the small settlement of sun worshippers. With a chuckle he instructs his warriors to prepare for a new season of raids against those who would insult the Motsham and insult the Urukhim.
