Tii'ahme Khein

The Grand Harvester
NPC, Demi-God

In the unforgiving expanse of the Khein Dynasty's outer desert plains, where harsh winds sculpted the land, and the sun was both a giver and taker of life, a girl named Tii'ahme emerged from humble beginnings. Born into a family of weary desert farmers in a remote village, her childhood was painted with the relentless toil of laboring under the relentless sun. Yet, it was not the sweat upon her brow or the callouses upon her hands that marked her as an enigma—it was her uncanny ability to foretell the whims of the desert's capricious heart.

From her earliest years, Tii'ahme displayed an eerie talent—an unnatural understanding of the parched earth beneath her feet. She could predict the whims of the shifting sands, the capricious dance of the desert winds, and the hidden secrets of the arid soil. Her words became like scripture to her fellow villagers, guiding them to the precious oases and the life-giving moments to plant and harvest their crops. Her uncanny abilities soon attracted the whispers of awe, and rumors of her talents found their way to the throne of the God King Horus Khein himself.

Horus, the deity-king who ruled over the Khein Dynasty, took a keen interest in Tii'ahme's gift. He saw in her a rare and potent oracle, a seer of destinies yet unspun. He adopted her into his divine dynasty of semi-deities and showered her with titles and honors. From that moment on, she became the Patron of Destiny, Fate, and Oracles, a luminary whose influence flowed like a river across the Dynasty. Tii'ahme embarked on a journey that carried her to every corner of the vast Khein Dynasty. Her wisdom became a beacon of hope for farmers and landowners, and she shared her knowledge generously, helping them to navigate the treacherous terrain and eke out a meager existence from the unforgiving land.

Yet, her tale would take a grim turn on the day of her inauguration—a day meant to be a joyous celebration of her ascension. As the Dynasty rejoiced and feasted, a sinister omen manifested overhead. A dark and foreboding tempest gathered in the sky, accompanied by the acrid stench of sulfur—a harbinger of impending doom. Suddenly, a nightmarish descent unfolded. Infernal demons, their ash-gray wings blotting out the sun, rained down upon the Capital. Their chilling screams pierced the air, and chaos erupted as the city's denizens fled in terror. Tii'ahme, alongside her fellow Princes, and the King's stalwart Executioners of Light, rallied to defend the Capital, but the demonic onslaught was relentless.

In the throes of this chaotic battle, Tii'ahme's prophetic gifts flared to life. She beheld the patterns and flow of the battle's madness, allowing her to anticipate the demons' movements and tactics. Her insights guided her companions, turning the tide of the conflict in their favor. Yet, amidst the tumult, Tii'ahme sensed a malevolent purpose—the demons' primary objective was to capture her. They sought to plunder her prophetic abilities, to unearth and manipulate the secrets hidden within the realm of destinies she commanded.

In a harrowing decision, Tii'ahme confronted Xoros, the malevolent archfiend who heralded the demonic invasion. She ventured deep into the heart of the battle, her powers steering her clear of the demons' deadly onslaught. As she closed in on Xoros's commanding stage within the beleaguered Capital, she engaged him in a fierce battle, wits against malevolence, prophecy against darkness. Tii'ahme's prophetic insight danced like a web, ensnaring her formidable adversary. With cunning and unyielding determination, she outwitted Xoros, seizing the upper hand in their brutal clash. In the end, she emerged victorious, banishing Xoros and his demonic horde from the beleaguered Capital.

The people of the Khein Dynasty hailed Tii'ahme as a hero—a princess warrior who had faced down infernal forces and emerged unscathed. Her prophetic powers, once revered and feared, now held an even deeper mystique. Her name, etched in history as the first Princess and the Grand Harvester, would forever evoke a memory of unyielding bravery and unparalleled cunning in the face of impending doom. Yet, within the echoes of victory, shadows of doubt lingered. The people wondered if the demons were truly defeated or if they merely bided their time, lurking on the fringes of reality, waiting for the day when Tii'ahme's visions would falter, and destiny would once again be swayed by darkness.
