Nitocris, a contentious daughter of a pharaoh, tried to legitimize her hold over Egypt using sorcery as the only means that might enable the imposter to add her name to the sacred list of kings. Such a list was assembled and sealed by high priests in tablets and manuscripts. The superior clergy had grown in power over many dynasties, painstakingly documenting the names of monarchs in special potions before engraving the names of ancient kings, thus guarding the records for eternity.

It was believed that replicas of the list existed and left in scattered sanctuaries across the kingdom but only one was known to be preserved intact. One temple kept the manuscript, the rest of the copies were most probably washed away in floods that attacked many temples along the Nile, to be resurrected for posterity through the medium of visions, dreams or seances. If the document could be found and the name of Nitocris added among the kings, then the people of Egypt would be forced to accept the evil reign. Nitocris hoped to prevail as queen using any means necessary to control large swathes of the land, if not all of it.

The conniving methods used by Nitocris alerted spirits far and wide who lamented the weakness of the land of Egypt, that led to the presence of such a woman on the throne. Wizards and phantoms invoked their elders whose intervention led to magical battles in an already embattled country, eventually Nitocris was cornered into a war for survival against two women and many ancient priests.
