The Suzerian of Egypt, Khaldun the Blue Dragon God

The Blue Dragon Khaldun (his name meaning "The Immortal One" in Egyptian) holds court at Thebes as Suzerain (or Pharaoh) of Upper and Lower Egypt.

After the collapse of the Old Kingdom, Egypt entered a period of weak Pharaonic power and decentralization. Towards the end of this period, two rival dynasties, fought for power over the entire country. It was by then that Khaldun made his appearance. The Ancient Blue Dragon who had been living in the desert saw the quarreling kingdom an easy target, ripe for plunder. However when he arrived in Thebes he received a completely different welcome then expected. The Egyptians saw him as a descendant of Nut, the goddess of the sky. They believed the dragon had been send as an answer to their prayers, one who would assist the pharaoh in defeating the rival dynasty at Herakleopolis.

Khaldun, sensing an opportunity for something greater then simple treasure,agreed. With a mighty dragon at their side, the Thebans staged a siege at Herakleopolis. The pretender Pharaoh fell under Khaldun's lightning breath and the city was conquered. Khaldun declared himself ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. The Theban Pharaoh protested of course but he and his followers suffered the same fate as their colleagues at Herakleopolis. The priests sided with Khaldun and the dragon was worshipped as a living god. Khaldun officially ascended the Theban throne in 2055 B.C

Though not a brutal tyrant Khaldun possessed a highly developed sense of order with himself at the top. He saw humans as slaves or useful tools at best. He acted as an overlord receiving homage from his subjects and settling any disputes. As the years went by, Khaldun grew in his arrogance and vanity. Eventually he started to believe that he was truly a god and ordered the start of a building project that would make him the unquestioned ruler of the ancient world. Something which is now only known as "The Black Pyramid."

Something must have happened when the project was completed as Khaldun suddenly seemed to have just disappeared and all traces of his rule were deliberately removed by the Egyptian priests. Indicating a terrible offense against the gods themselves.

Today the only evidence of the "Dragon Pharaoh" is a brief mention by the Egyptian historian and priest from Sebennytos, Manetho. His tomb was never found, nor any traces of this "Black Pyramid" and his existence was dismissed as a myth. A secret lost to the trackless sands of time...or so it would appear.
