Rising along the southeastern coast is a legendary Egyptian-styled empire of radiant gold and sun-baked stone. Massive temples dedicated to sun and death deities dominate the skyline, alongside obelisks etched with glowing hieroglyphs. Canals and rivers flow through the city, feeding lush gardens and sacred pools. Ruled by a divine monarchy supported by priesthoods and warrior castes, the Golden Kingdom controls trade across the island and beyond, drawing caravans, scholars, and emissaries from many races.
