In the sands of Ancient Egypt, a divine revolution stirs as Pharaoh Akhenaten challenges millennia of tradition.
Declaring Aten, the Sun Disk, as the sole deity, he embarks on a radical shift to monotheism, dismantling the deeply rooted polytheistic structure that has defined Egypt's religious and political identity.
This upheaval fractures the kingdom: reformists rally behind Akhenaten’s vision of divine singularity, while staunch traditionalists conspire in shadows to restore the pantheon of gods and the favor of the people.
As the Nile’s lifeblood flows through the kingdom, rival factions must navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue, forge alliances, and sway the hearts of Egypt's citizens. All the while, external threats loom on the horizon, eager to exploit a divided empire.
Will the revolution give rise to a new age of enlightenment, or will the old gods reclaim their thrones, plunging Egypt into chaos?
In this critical juncture of history, the fate of a civilization rests in your hands.
