In this game module, players play characters of the 18th Egyptian dynasty, whose characteristics are set in a similar way to those involved in D&D character design: there are, therefore, limitations of race (only humans are allowed) and class (only those compatible with the Egyptian society of the New Kingdom). These characters are involved in adventures to protect Egypt from the forces of evil, embodied by Apophis, Set, and their minions, both supernatural and human in nature.
Because the setting is in the New Kingdom, the module contains two initial chapters focused solely on explaining the history, society, and culture of ancient Egypt in that period, including facts about daily life, and appendices with glossaries of terms useful for adventure design and game development. In this general information on the context of the game, certain fictional elements have been introduced, such as the linking of Set and Apophis, the conflict between Osiris, Horus, and Set in the Middle Kingdom, and the Hyksos invasion as a conflict that takes place mainly in Heliopolis, but in which the divinities are mainly pitted against each other. Chapter 3 contains descriptions of the character classes, including the scribe, the nomad, the merchant, and other so-called 'prestige' classes, such as Pharaoh, Avatar (of good or evil divinities), and Godslayer (sent by the gods to eliminate the avatars of their rivals). The final two chapters focus on the Egyptian pantheon, its connection to the struggle to dominate Egypt, and an explanation and appendices of the game, which presents bestiaries, enemy lists, etc. In addition to these elements, in the design of the game we find multiple visual references that illustrate the book with Egyptianised elements.
