Lakh-Ankh

Guarded the caravan cities as Meroe's power faded

The last Maahes of the Ancient Age. Lakh-Ankh watched the trade of the Nile begin to shift east toward the Red Sea ports, and with it the Pride's centre of gravity. Around 70 CE, he closed the Alexandria house, as the Roman grip on Egypt tightened. In his last year he travelled to the highlands of the east, met the watchers who guarded the road to the coast, and carried back the name of a candidate for the next mantle. The mantle chose his successor, a man from the highlands, two years after Lakh-Ankh died.
