armies are well organized. In generations past their tall and muscular warrior castes have swooped across
the desert in their bronze and brass chariots and inflicted grievous damage upon the Shemite ranks that
stood against them.
The ruler of Stygia is always the one most favored by their god Set. Legends of the Stygians tell that
before the times of men, the serpent-men ruled Stygia. They are seen as ancestors of the Stygians, and
are treated as holy demi-gods. To the outsider, the beliefs of the Stygians seem strange. The dead are
mummified in long, involved rituals, which call upon the spirits of the underworld to perform many of
the required tasks. The tombs of the Stygians are not like the tombs of other grand empires. They lack
the masses of wealth which other races place within their graves. The dead of Stygia rest guarded by
spells, and are buried with the scrolls and potions needed to return from the dead whenever their spirit is
disturbed.
