However, as the gods of Amonkhet made themselves increasingly known to the settlers, and their worship became more common place, Karnak became a religious hub. It was originally built in opposition to Cuzu, as a settlement for heretics. Karnak, like Cuzu, is one of the smaller and older cities in Amonkhet. Although it is small and the architecture is basic and utilitarian, Cuzu has become a popular destination for wealthy holiday makers looking to escape the big city. The current city is often referred to as Cuzu 3. Cuzu is situated close to the Tyet River, and has been rebuilt twice due to flooding, but has maintained its old-fashioned style. At the time, Amonkhet was still unknown land, and the city was built as a waystation to house the weary colonists who would later become the founders of the country. Shepti now sits well within Amonkhet and is ruled over by a Yanassi, but is still considered neutral territory for the purpose of diplomatic meetings, and is the home of one of the last remaining Sirruk Foreign Embassies in the world.Ĭuzu was the first city to be built in Amonkhet, by settlers arriving from the south. However, over time, Amonkhet’s economy boomed and Sirruk fell into a decline following a civil war.

Originally, Sirruk was far wealthier than Amonkhet and Shepti lay on the border of the two countries as neutral ground. Shepti was developed to foster good diplomatic relations between Amonkhet and the neighbouring country, Sirruk. Khenei is rural, but well-connected through a number of large roads running radially to all of the main cities, giving Khenei the nick-name “Compass City”. The banks of the Tyet River provide a source of clay, which is collected and pressed into bricks. Beneath the city is a sprawling goldmine, which has proved larger than ever expected.

Despite being so close to the river, Khenei has only suffered one major flood, and locals attribute their good fortune to devout religious practice. The town is situated within a cluster of large salt pans, fed by two of the bigger streams from the Tyet River. Khenei is the major source of all mineral based products on which the economy of Amonkhet depends. Aesthetically, Hesiris is a far cry from the beauty and scale of Ta-Kharot, but it has sound infrastructure and good service provision. However, Hesiris is a permanent hive of activity, as there is high international demand for salt, building materials, gold and cotton, all of which are exported via the harbour here. Amonkhet imports very little, other than luxury items such as exotic wines and gemstones. Hesiris is a harbour town, which is the primary source of exported goods. Crime rates are virtually non-existent as the Pharaoh enforces a no-tolerance policy, where most crimes are punishable by death. There is a strong emphasis on education, health and service provision. The design and engineering is recognised as some of the finest and most advanced in the world. It is home to the wealthiest people in the country, and is also recognised as the cultural capital, attracting many academics and artisans. Ta-Kharot is the largest and most developed of the six cities. There are six main cities in Amonkhet: City nameĪ map of Amonkhet's major cities (surprisingly not drawn by a five-year-old)
