Whether ye be denizens of heaven, or of the earth, or of the South, or of the North, or of the East, or of the West, the fear of me is in your bodies. I am he whose being has been wrought in his eye. I shall not die again. My moment is in your bodies, but my forms are in my place of habitation. I am "He who cannot be known."\|The Papyrus of Ani, Hymn to Osiris}}

	The last game for the New [[World of Darkness]] created before the 2nd edition update (not counting [[Demon: The Descent]], that is). Long story short? Long before Egypt existed, there was the Nameless Empire - so called because either it's been totally forgotten, it was never named because it was the first empire the world had ever seen, or both. Ruled by necromantic sorcerer-kings called the Shan'iatu, from its capital of Irem (yes, as in "Irem of the Pillars") its influence spread out over the world.

	You are one of the Arisen: once a member of the elite guilds upon which the Empire's might was founded, you were chosen for your value as a servant to become Deathless, a mummified servitor who spends most of their time in the land of the dead, Duat, and arises to carry out the will of the mysterious Judges, the god-kings of Duat. In short, you're both unkillable and powerful - obscenely so. The Deathless are explicitly said to be one of the most OP splats in CofD.

	Think this sounds awesome? Think again. Your memories are shot to utter hell, robbing you of anything meaningful about your past. This isn't helped by you being bound to the Sothic Turns; periods of time in which you're allowed to be awake and exist, which last barely half to two thirds of a year, tops - and then you die again. You start each Descent (cycle of life) as ~~the~~ stereotypical shrivelled, bandaged , ~~at the~~ highest ~~levels~~ of power. The longer you're awake, you become more human but also ~~steadily~~ grow weaker and weaker, until you're eventually forced to snooze for another few centuries. This is to say nothing of the fact you're little more than a puppet for eldritch unknown forces who want you to run around playing Tomb Raider with their assorted cursed trinkets and shit.

Mummies' "Racial" splat, based on the five parts of the soul in Egyptian folklore. When the Arisen stood before the Judges of the Duat, they made a Decree that determined which soul was most important to them, which in turn determines their general abilities.

			The Falcon-Heads decreed Ba, the Spirit (known for always being depicted as a bird with the person's head), was the most important to them. This makes them the Mummy equivalent of Rogues, and their Affinity allows them to boost their mental attributes as well as their mobility, allowing the mummy to nearly fly like a falcon. They regain pillars via attempting challenges, and regain Ba by triumphing in a challenge- the worse an idea it was, the better.

			===Ka===

			The Bull-Heads decreed that Ka, the life force, was the most important part of their soul. As could be expected from this, they're the physical splat. Their Affinity makes them strong and tough as nails. They refill pillars by correcting mistakes, and Ka by being recognized for their works.

			====Ren===
			[[File:MummyDecreeRen.jpg\|right\|150px]]

			The Serpent-Heads decreed that the most important part of their soul was their Ren, or their name. This is the splat for both intelligence and magic, with their Affinity allowing them better ways to get at the truth and preserve things important to the mummy. They regain Pillars by proving their knowledge, and Ren by completely mastering a situation.

			===Sheut===
			[[File:MummyDecreeSheut.jpg\|right\|150px]]

			The Jackal-Heads, before the Judges, decreed their Sheut, or Shadow, to be the most important aspect of their self. They are, as expected, the spooky splat, with affinities allowing them to invoke vices and uncover things everyone else would rather keep hidden. They regain their Pillars by confronting harshness head-on, and Sheut by exposing great deceits.

			Because what would a White Wolf game be without the obligatory "PCs but eeeeeeevil" splat? The Lifeless are the less-than-perfect undead creatures created (no relation to [[Promethean: The Created\|THE created]]) by the Arisen. These range from Mummy-made servants to botched attempts at redoing the Rite of Return.

	Despite their power, the Arisen will often find themselves in the crosshairs of many an irate mortal. Ranging from mere grave robbers to people who (quite understandably) found out about their existence and freaked out. More often than not, some will even deliberately go after Arisen to try and steal their powers and arcane secrets for themselves. A specific group of concern is Last Dynasty International, a group with enough knowledge and resources to do with Iremite magic that they're capable of tracking down and using the Mummies to turn a profit. Very [[Pentex]]-esque.		Despite their power, the Arisen will often find themselves in the crosshairs of many an irate mortal.
