THREAD TRACKING:

Satriya is essentially ancient egypt and based on the concept of Akashingo created by Ebony & Khryptid. If you are interested in getting in on some desert drama please feel free to tag Khaemwaset and/or Merneith in a joining thread! :D

*Due to the BWP a terrible heat is plaguing the desert, so the pack is currently sheltering in the nearby Dawn Cuesta territory.
