The Pharonic Race
Long before recorded history, wards of several gods travelled the realms of men and selected several to bear offspring as a vessel of power of the gods to lead the people. In time, however, wars between many of the chosen people and intermixing amongst the chosen led to a great racial war and eventually a single line of power emerged in the Pharonic race, traced to Amon-Vanu, after all the other Pharonic lines were destroyed.
Today, in the far eastern kindom of Keth, the bloodlines of Amon-Vanu run in the ruling caste, and wizards and conjurers of other races are not tolerated, although they may show respect to a visiting dignitary who possesses such powers. The most powerful of the bloodline rules as pharoah, a god incarnate on earth. Since pharoah actually is a vessel of power, he or she grants power to his clerics as a god would.
There are racial prestige classes only available to the pharonic race, which represent the strengthening pharonic power in a bloodline and all of which are closely tied to the power of pharoah.
