#Flavor of god series
The people within the city were divided into several districts that prepared for the trials of the five gods, an elaborate series of tests overseen by viziers. The only known settlement was the city of Naktamun, where the gods dwelled among the population and acted as stewards for the God-Pharaoh until his return. Much of Amonkhet is covered in desert and ruins, which are known to the inhabitants as the Broken Lands. With Nissa's examination of the leylines, it's possible the Curse of Wandering may be the result of some ancient corruption that predates Bolas, a sickness in the plane itself which seems to be slowly killing it.
In "The Hour of Revelation", the eight gods are described as seeking to protect Naktamun, as it is "all that remains", and failures of the past are referenced. It is unclear precisely where the Curse comes from when Nissa makes contact with what remains of Amonkhet's soul in "The Writing on the Wall", it describes the Curse as "its gift". When no flesh remains on their bones, the Curse of Wandering ends. If they are embalmed, they become servile mummies. The most unusual aspect of Amonkhet is that things that die on the plane transform into undead, which is referred to as the Curse of Wandering. When given the chance to examine the leylines within Naktamun, Nissa describes them as "stunted" not only are they artificially concentrated behind the Hekma, but the leylines of Naktamun are corrupted by a dark, virulent strain that subtly weaves itself through the leylines. The people believed that when it appeared between the horn, the God-Pharaoh would reveal himself to them.Īmonkhet's leylines are weaker than other planes, pulsing like the veins of a dying animal. The second one has slowly been making its path to Bolas's Horn Monument. The plane is orbited by two suns that shroud the plane in perpetual daylight without actual nights. While the denizens saw this as a righteous path to a glorious afterlife, Bolas's goal was the creation of an army of Zombie warriors known as Eternals, who would be stronger than regular zombies, retaining all the skills they had in life but with unthinking loyalty to Bolas. Bolas had engineered a world where the inhabitants reach maximum physical perfection before killing one another in the Trials. Liliana believed the plane was created by Nicol Bolas before the Mending, when a planeswalker would still have had the power to do so, though Nissa later discovered that Bolas had instead corrupted a pre-existing plane and warped its culture to worship him instead.
