Queen Nefertari

Queen Nefertari is the wife and closest counsellor of Pharaoh Stekeham. Within the court of Kemet’Ra, she carries an authority that rests less upon ceremony than upon her command of lineage, ritual and the obligations owed between the throne and its people.

Where Stekeham often rules through distance, Nefertari moves openly among ambassadors, priests and military households. She remembers every bargain made in the royal chamber—and every price left unpaid.

As the powers of the Old World gather around Kemet’Ra, Nefertari works to ensure that the realm enters the coming struggle with its identity intact, not merely its borders.

“A kingdom forgets itself long before an enemy reaches its gates.”
