Captain of the Burning Sands

The myth

The Captain of the Burning Sands is a MYTHENOR creation. His world, however, recalls New Kingdom Egypt, when the country had a professional army with chariots, archers and infantry. In the great campaigns, troops marched under the protection of the gods: at Kadesh, Ramesses II led the divisions of Amun, Ra, Ptah and Set. The idea that the desert fights for those who respect it is the game's poetry, but Egyptians knew well that sand and heat were enemies as dangerous as any army.

Why it has this power

A rare level 7 Warrior of Fire with 2300 ATK and 1900 DEF, the strongest Warrior of the Necropolis. Sun beats Moon and Hammer beats Bull. With the Ancient Bronze Khopesh it reaches 2800 ATK, commanding from above like a general on campaign.

Did you know

At Kadesh, in 1274 before the common era, each of Ramesses II's four divisions bore the name of a god.
