Yes, it may be true the Order of the Divine is at work at The Heart within the lands held by Sarainy, but the cult is larger than most believe. There is another group working within old crypts of the Khadarian Desert. There have been sightings of mummies leaving the pyramids in the dead of night and simply roaming the grounds of said pyramids. It is an odd sighting indeed, for they typically guard the crypts they are in from intruders or simply lay at rest. It was not long before order was set for a curfew for any resident residing near any of the crypts. It was of course protocol for the gates of Menaphos and Sophanem to be sealed shut by midnight due to the odd awaking of the undead. It does not help at this current moment that necromancer Mimring who resides at Goshima is currently missing and a rescue mission was just approved.
The best they can do now is call for Divinus to assess the situation. As he left from The Heart, he saw in the distance more of the undead mummies roaming around the desert. Perhaps leaving at dusk was not the best idea if that is when much of the sightings are reported. He made his way to the Jaldraocht Pyramid, though it was a made into a temple dedicated to Zaros, the undead was merging from its depths and roaming outside. Yami Eternal did not stay for long, he simply vanished at night until dawn when he would return and order the building to be cleaned up. He approached carefully, they did not seem aggressive, but what was waking them?

He had some knowledge of necromancy from his previous work from a now fallen kingdom, but he cannot be sure if that is what is doing it. He thought to himself, the undead of the desert are somewhat different to that of other regions. Curses, spells, and countless other things tend to control them but their behavior is nothing like that and even not in the way zombies behave. At that moment he was noticed by one of the larger mummies, it groaned loudly and the others faced in the direction of Divinus. Well this isn’t good.
Divinus had to quickly teleport out and thankfully he successfully did and right on time. Okay so maybe they are somewhat aggressive but…smarter? No that cannot be. They normally mob… but that larger one seemed to…lead? This is beyond what the undead are capable of, at least on their own. It is prudent that we find Mimring and quick. He returned to his tent at The Heart and grabbed a sheet of parchment and his Pen & Ink. He went to his desk and lit a small candle that illuminated the small teak desk and all the documents and trinkets that laid upon it.
He placed the sheet of parchment in front of him and begin writing addressing the Pharaoh of his findings.
