Legend tells of a long-dead empire of sphinxes, ruled over for millennia by a great queen named Ankharet. She fell into darkness and her empire was shattered, as her subjects rebelled and cast her down.

As his blood seeps into the sands, a doorway opens at the base of the statue, leading down into darkness...
