The Vanguard of Thoth
The Vanguard of Thoth
In-universe date: Era Nova, August--September, Year 2
Real-world date: 22 August 2026
Author: Sekhem
In the mountains of Kheta-Kedet, lay a powerful sect of warriors following the teachings of Thoth.
The noble and brave, but thoughtless minds of the prevalent community regards Thoth as just one of The Six, defending and empowering Kheta-Kedet. Thoth is more. Thoth gives us strength from which we can enact the will of all The Six. Without Thoth, life as we knew it would crumble to dust.
The misguided believe Thoth only demands the protection of Kheta-Kedet. In truth, Thoth demands sacrifice. Thoth cannot give us strength if we do not possess it ourselves.
Thoth demands that we not only understand and preach his strength, but practise and utilise it.
Combat shall grace us with the knowledge of Thoth, and allow him to grant us more strength as we compete and sharpen our skill in combat.
I, Sekhem, the first Vanguard of Thoth, have dedicated my life to strength, and absolute devotion to Thoth. I will demonstrate today, by taking on an outnumbered duel.
And a duel is not complete...
without Death.
The Creed of Thoth
Protect those who cannot protect themselves, and defeat those who can.
Let the duel begin.
