The Kingdom

Backround
In ancient Egypt, several wealthy and powerful people tried to use rituals to give themselves immortality and access to the afterlife. However, something did not go as they planned. And instead of gaining immortality and access to the afterlife they died. Their bodies were mummified and buried, along with all of their wealth - as was the custom of the time. Decades later, they wake up. They have gained a form of immortality, but as ever-living mummies.

In the centuries since then, these mummies have formed an underworld organization known as "The Kingdom". They have used their burial wealth to create more wealth and power, and they are now involved in nearly all major dealings in Egypt - both legal and illegal.

They have no plans for world domination, no interest in the politics or ethics of the various other groups in the Secret World. They serve their own interests.

Mechanics
To Come Later
 * PCs who wish to be part of The Kingdom must either take the "Race: Mummy" background or "Affiliated: The Kingdom" background.
 * Mummy PCs may be major players in The Kingdom, and may act as they will.
 * PCs who take "Afflianted: The Kingdom" are mortal workers, and will be unable to gain more status or power. They still gain the benefits of the Affiliated background as normal, however.

Other Information

 * While the majority of The Kingdom is controlled by the mummies who formed it, most of the people affiliated with it are their mortal workers. It's far easier for mortals to move about.
