Guilds/Akhetaton

Welcome to Akhetaton!

We are a city in the region of Meroe, located south of the University of Art, around three beautiful lakes.

Blessings of Aton.

We are followers of Akhenaton, raised to Pharaoh as Amenhotep IV. The city of Akhetaton means Horizon of Aton and will be a beautiful city in Egypt, freely patronizing the arts and public service. Please feel free to ask about our community, the worship of Aton and join the city if you like.

Pharaoh Amenhotep IV of the 18th dynasty brought worship of the god Aton to the black and red lands. This religion centered upon the belief that all men were created equal and that all should live in harmony. Radical acts stemming from this worship, such as freeing the slaves from the mines, discouraging war and giving land directly to the men who tilled it, caused chaotic change to the structure of society and resulted in economic and diplomatic turmoil.

This led to his being referred to as "the enemy" by successors and his reign widely removed from record. Upon becoming Pharaoh, he changed his name to Akhenaton, "servant of Aton," and founded a new capitol city, Akhetaton, meaning "Horizon of Aton."

Unlike the strict dictates in the former capitol of Thebes, arts were not only patronized but allowed extraordinary freedom. The new worship also led to a wide acceptance of other expressions of human individuality. His primary consort and queen, Nefertiti, is depicted in roles normally reserved exclusively to Pharaoh and their affection for each other is often seen in surviving art.

Despite this, Nefertiti's name disappears from the record toward the end of his reign and he is shown naked with the ruler Smenkhkare, possibly co-regent and successor, leading to speculation that he may have been bisexual. He is also depicted as an androgynous embodiment of Aton, believed to be both mother and father of all humankind.

Akhenaton has been called the first monotheist, first scientist and first romantic. While the changes wrought during his reign barely outlasted his death, he brought at the very least a beautiful dream to Egypt.

• Position planter at the sweet spot, 1058, -2709.
• Planter will stay in the same place, planting at intervals that will depend on how patient you are and how many planters you have. 1 seed at this spot can yield 16 pappy, collected from both banks of the river.
• Plant at 10 second intervals (shift to 15-20 second intervals if you have two avatars collecting and if seed is an issue).
• Collectors will go to -2600 and collect north to about -2490. Keep running back and forth along that line.
• Possibly due to drift, the spawning area is slightly longer on the east bank than the west. About 10% more pappy grows on the east bank as well.
• It appears there is a saturation level along the spawning area of the Nile. This may be 40 pappy at once, but this is a guesstimate. So the goal is to get the pappy out of the Nile as quickly as possible to allow more to grow.
• With two collectors, planting at 18 second intervals, we obtained 6-8 pappy per seed. With more collectors, stationed at 25-50 coord intervals, yield could theoretically approach the 16 pappy per seed generated at this area of the Nile.
