The myth

This warrior is a MYTHENOR creation. The setting speaks to the real Egypt: beyond the fertile Nile valley stretched the desert, a dry and dangerous land tied to Set, god of war, chaos and storms, called Lord of the Desert and associated with the color red and with foreign lands. For a long time Egypt relied on conscripts, but after the Hyksos were expelled the New Kingdom built a professional, trained and organized army. Training barefoot under the noon sun is the game's own image.

Why it has this power

An uncommon level 5 Warrior of Fire with 1650 ATK and 1100 DEF: all attack, little defense, like someone who no longer feels the heat. Sun beats Moon and Scarab beats Leviathan. With the Ancient Bronze Khopesh it reaches 2150 ATK.

Did you know

Set, lord of the desert, was associated with the color red and with the foreign lands beyond the Nile valley.
