I, Eugenius the Great, had a delightful conversation with a shady character only known to me as "The Stranger." In our conversation, the Stranger confessed to me that Alchemist from his land had recipes for Strength, Speed, and a mysterious concoction that was one produced in Egypt. The recipes (which he described as Documents) are lost at sea and may have washed ashore in Egypt. The Stranger was vague on details but the information I was able to get is as follows:

===Demonstration===
−
:Documents contain recipes for Sun, Moon, Stars

*7 Common Ground Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)

The spirit of Khonsu arrives in Egypt at 6PM and departs at 6AM. Players build ceremonial bonfires at Humble priest altar locations (within 20 coords) while Khonsu is in Egypt.

At any time during the night players may add as many herb types as desired. Maximum of 3 deben per herb is permitted. Prior to passing the test, a player cannot build a Ceremonial Bonfire outside the 20 coord radius of a Humble Priest altar and cannot light a Ceremonial Bonfire.

Since the details are sketchy, I continue about my tasks in Egypt. While fishing, exploring and in general attempting to unravel the Stranger's clues, the Stranger sent me another message:

I have found shreds of evidence that alchemy started within these borders. I need 357 of every type of ore there is on this land.

Bring it to my camp with 2 cabbage juice 400 bricks and 48 boards.

The herbs hold a balance of sweetness which has been known to attract both insects and the spirit of Khonsu.
