The March Up Country - Adventure
 |
Far from Kush¸ in the city of Abydos¸ enemies surround and hunt the Princess and the heroes of the Kushite Dynasty. They must cross Upper Egypt¸ a land the dynasty once ruled but is now the domain for the Assyrians and their local proxy¸ the Saite Dynast-the new pharaoh by right of conquest.
Using wits¸ iron¸ and the love the people still harbour¸ the heroes seek to return to their home in Kush¸ to join their king and their kin¸ and to foil the plans of their enemies.
A mere handful versus thousands.
No problem.
The March Up Country is one translation for Anabasis¸ Xenophon's story of 10¸000 Greek mercenaries trapped deep in Persia. This adventure echoes that theme. It is the latest in a collection of adventures set during the fall of the 25th Dynasty of Pharaonic Egypt. The first of these was the free adventure "Rumours of War¸" which is part of the Nefertiti Overdrive Quickstart . Judged linked this first adventure to "Get Netiqret¸" the adventure included in Nefertiti Overdrive ¸ and these were followed by The Icon of Amun-Ra.
