History[]
Pharaoh Seftew[]
Pharaoh Seftew was firstborn of the four sons of a governor in the eastern region of Isoro. Who believed the 19th Dynasty didn't have the divine right or blessing to rule the Isoro territory. Seftew and his three brothers along with their retainers took control of Neter River near the Isoro-Hami border. Where they began the Kefa Dynasty, naming it after in honor of their father the current governor of the region. It took them several years to gain land and support from other regions of the Empire.
Seftew and his family invaded Bekini in 2236 BG, successfully removing the current Dynasty after days of battle. Decades later, he attempted to invade the Junggar Tribe's territory to expand his empire. Failing to do so, eventually, he focused on polishing out the Isoro Empire. And then he passed away in 2173 BG.
Pharaoh Afa[]
Not much is known about Pharaoh Afa, he was known to be extremely greedy, and was forced to abdicate the throne for unknown reasons by Pharaoh Rakhet. He later died at the age of 112, in 2063 BG.
Pharaoh Rakhet[]
Pharaoh Rakhet forced his father off the throne and took it in 2075 BG, when he was sixteen. He married his first wife Hepet, she was barren though. Rakhet also had a concubine that he later married after the death of Hepet, her name was, Nefer. Nefer bore him only one child Shabaka. Rakhet ruled from 2075 BG until his death in 1969 BG.
Pharaoh Shabaka[]
Shabaka was born in 1969 BG to Pharaoh Rakhet and Queen Consort Nefer, in Bekini. Shabaka was actually the second-born in his lineage, but his mother suffered a loss. His older brother was a stillborn at birth, which led to Shabaka becoming the crowned Prince despite being the second-born. Shabaka was kept from his other siblings where he spent time with his tutors as he learned skills that'd make him an effective Pharaoh.
Years later, he met the love of his life through arranged marriage, Asenath was the daughter of a governor of the city of Bekini. Eventually marrying, Shabaka took power after his father's death in 1949 BG. Fifteen years into his reign his wife gave birth to their first son Setka. Four years later, after Setka their second child named after his mother, then finally Asenath gave birth to Shabaka's final child Zaphnath.
In the early years of his reign he carried low self esteem because he wasn't sure if he could do this. Eventually, the days got easier and he got a hang of things with the help of his advisers. Shabaka is known as one of the greatest rulers of his dynasty, as Bekini is living through an era of prominence since the beginning of the 20th Dynasty.
Crowned Prince Setka[]
Setka was born in 1934 BG, to Pharaoh Shabaka and Queen Consort Asenath in Bekini. He was their first-born child therefore making him the crowned heir to the throne. For years, the couple struggled to have children until this miracle occurred. At the age of four, Setka, discovered he was a sandbender and since then he was personally trained by his father. Spending years training he finally mastered the art at the age of fifteen. Setka excelled in his academic and combative education in his early teens.
However, he did become a rebel in his mid-teens and was known to escape the palace from time to time. Which caused Shabaka to double the patrol around the palace. Although Setka's loophole is to command them to let him go into the city beyond the palace. Where he's made friends outside with a ragtag group of nobles in Upper Bekini. Since he was a little boy he ended being arranged to marry a foreign princess of Omashu, over the years they communicated through letters. Eventually, meeting her in person on her coming of age party. When Chu Zi and Setka return to Bekini his family will prepare their wedding. Which according to Dai Hau will take about two weeks.
Princess Nefer[]
Not done
Prince Zaphnath[]
Zaphnath was born in 1922 BG, to Pharaoh Shabaka and Queen Consort Asenath in Bekini. He was their third-born child, very little is known about Zaphnath. He spends most of his time with his tutor in his academical studies, his parents desire in having him involved with the government and royal family when he's a grown man. Likely an advisor or even a minister for his older brother.
