This is part of the Fantasy Universe.

The Khep Dominion is a nation that exists in the Eastern Plains of Koldenwelt. They are known for the construction of four pyramids that mark the North, East, South and West and the fact that they have managed to use solar energy as their main power source and develope heat rays. They have a large military but a small amount of civillians, most of whom are slaves to greater Anubi, the ruling body over the Khep Dominion. The slaves are the ancient Sarcophi, who are smaller and physically strong, but have not developed their own weapons. The area in which the Khep Dominion resides is covered with hot sand, heated by Koldenwelt's sun. Creatures such as Khep Beetles and Hor Eagles are common, and considered sacred by both the Anubi and Sarcophi. Also, Nekh Vultures and Serk Scorpions wait in the deserts to prey on unweary travellers who get lost in the territory of the Khep Dominion.

The Khep Dominion appeared 2,500 years ago and was formed by the now-extinct Sohet, who were considered gods by the descandents of the first Anubi and Sarcophi. Four statues of the Sohet still exist and one is placed near each pyramid respectively. The statues are guarded by elite Anubi warriors, for they are the last remains of the Sohet people. To the Anubi, advancement is important because they believe that the Sohet statues contain the souls of all the Sohet.
