The good King Duncan - beloved ruler of all Kel'Aran - is dying. The people mourn in the streets, and his children gather in the Keep to say their final goodbyes. With his dying breath, he divides the kingdom equally between his children, and leaves it to them to take his people forward into the future.

As you take up the mantle of leadership, what Vows will you make to your people? Will you focus on bringing them wealth and prosperity, or perhaps ensure a bounty of farmland so that none shall go hungry? Or perhaps, you will choose a darker path and wage war with your siblings? In any case, you must see it that your Vows are upheld and your people satisfied, else there will be hell to pay.

Please note: The Vow is a competitive political rpg that is in development. It's a bit weird/different to your classic ttrpg, but if you're a fan of Smallworld, Civilization, Diplomacy, Twilight Imperium, or some good ol fashioned backstabbing, please come along!

On Alternate Earth the city of Al-Kahire (Cairo) is an internationally recognized "Free City" governed by all the Five Empires (New Atlantis, Europa, Osman, Mughal and Ming) equally. The city's governor, Prince Dmitri Amilakhvari, has sought to divert attention away from intrigue and corruption by opening up the hitherto cursed and tabooed necropolis of Ghiza to excavation (for some parts are buried in sand) and exploration. The necropolis lies ten kilometers west of the Great Pyramids and includes mortuary catacombs, subterranean temples, caverns, tombs of nobles, graves of commoners, and sites about which rumors and legends swirl.

One rumor avers that the long lost pyramid temple and tomb of the pharaoh Akhenaten has emerged from the sands.

With Angels watching over us, no one is safe.
