NAIomi Projections The Families of Blood

NAIomi Projections


Information is limited in regards to Families of Blood.  Review of The Nigerian Prince’s previous articles reveals several errors as well as many illogical leaps of fancy and suspicion. At that time The Prince was clearly bored with the subject. Despite these errors The Prince had a set of facts and suspicions that were of use, specifically following the money which revealed several wealthy families that worked and aided each other.

Using this premise and applying the Thoth Algorithm has allowed the identification of a group of family names, the majority Egyptian, that have clearly been cooperating with each other for at least four centuries. Researching the earliest days of the internet has revealed a few emails that speak of a threat to an unknown group of allies that our evidence would suggest are The Families of Blood.

If there is a group of noble blooded families conspiring with each other and sharing ancient knowledge, we have identified a financial trail to support your hypothesis.  Despite identifying the families, we have yet to isolate the actual members or membership requirements. NAIomi has now identified these families as a hidden financial cabal operating in Egypt and around the world all these years.

SUBJECT: Rotterdam

Dear D.,

The Dutch are finally agreeable. Assuming no further objections from their counsel, we should have  signatures before November.                  

S. remains concerned that the purchase will attract attention. I think he is being unnecessarily cautious. The ownership is divided among three entities, none of which has any obvious relationship to the others. Anyone examining the transaction will see an insurance concern, a shipping company and a property investment. They would need a very suspicious mind and considerable free time to discover otherwise.

London remains troublesome. Hassan will not participate. Again.

I suggest we stop asking. The amount involved is insignificant and repeatedly approaching them only invites questions from people who have forgotten why the questions matter. Please telephone me regarding Alexandria. Not at the office.

Regards,

A.

Dear A.,

Excellent news regarding Rotterdam. I agree with you concerning S. If our fathers survived nationalization, revolution and three generations of tax inspectors, I think we can survive Dutch accountants.Give them the additional quarter point if necessary. It is cheaper than another month of lawyers.

Leave the English Hassans alone.Their absence does not call our membership into question, nor theirs. Blood establishes inheritance. It does not establish membership, as you know perfectly well.

Their chair was paid for long before either of us was born. Whether anyone presently wishes to sit in it is another matter.Besides, they have forgotten us rather more successfully than we have forgotten them.You mentioned Alexandria.

Did S. tell you what happened?

[...] if this concerned money I would agree with you. It doesn't. Someone knew what Sawiris intended to compare. That is what concerns me.

We have spent hundreds of years ensuring no government, church, university or collector could assemble enough of it in one place to understand what we understand.

If someone outside can anticipate the questions, then either we have underestimated them or someone inside is providing the questions. Neither possibility is acceptable.

Move the meeting. Not Cairo. And absolutely not London.

I spoke with M. this morning. He believes we are overreacting and reminded me that there have been suspicions before. I reminded him that suspicions do not normally arrive in Paris four days before we create them in Cairo.  He was not amused. Neither am I.

Clever. I'll speak to N. If one of the arrangements travels where it shouldn't, at least we'll know which table it left.

On an entirely unrelated matter, Cassel wants another two points on the Belgian financing. I told him no. Empain is already carrying considerably more risk than was agreed in June, and I am tired of pretending otherwise simply because Cassel complains more elegantly than everyone else.

Give Cassel one point. He'll accept it and complain about the missing point for the next twenty years. Empain can carry the exposure until March. After that, move half through Rotterdam. That was one reason I wanted the Dutch matter settled.

Another matter for Athens, Simbel wants the marriages discussed.

Apparently there are concerns regarding two lines. I reminded him that December is already crowded and that none of us is getting younger. He did not laugh.

He says one should be corrected soon and the other requires watching. I asked whether this was genealogical or political. He said yes.

I sometimes wonder whether the Simbels practice being irritating or whether it is hereditary.

I hate when they do that. For what it is worth, I don't think Hassan is the immediate concern. The English branch has been outside the room for too long. That does not make them irrelevant.

My grandfather was quite explicit on that point, although naturally he neglected to explain why before dying. There are traditions in this organization whose sole purpose appears to be ensuring our grandchildren remain as irritated with us as we were with our grandfathers.

Dear D.,

Ruspoli confirmed this morning. Niarchos will attend if the shipping negotiations permit it. Safra is uncertain. Morgan has asked whether representation is sufficient, which I take to mean he does not want to fly to Greece. Sawiris insists on attending personally. That interests me.

He has also asked that everyone bring their oldest copies rather than summaries. I asked what exactly he intends to compare. His answer was:

"Dates." Nothing more. Does that mean anything to you?

No. And that worries me more than if it did. Sawiris has been asking peculiar questions for months.

Flood records. Astronomical observations. Harvest failures. Temple construction. Something from the Mansours concerning stars, although I may have misunderstood that one.

In August he asked whether my family's contribution contained any references to "a sky without distance." I told him that phrase means nothing to me.

He said, "Good." Then he changed the subject. I assumed he was amusing himself. I am beginning to think he wasn't.

I telephoned Sawiris. You were right. He would tell me almost nothing. I asked whether whatever he is studying concerns the families. He said yes. I asked whether it concerns our businesses. No.

Governments? "No." War? "Perhaps afterward." I asked him what that was supposed to mean. There was a long silence. Then he said: "It is not one secret."  I asked what he meant. He said: "That is precisely the point."

Then his secretary interrupted us and he refused to continue. I am writing this down because I want a record that the conversation occurred, and because in six weeks he will undoubtedly claim that his meaning was perfectly obvious. It was not.

Session 29: The Prince of Abydos

The Alexandrian Storm

Date: Friday, June 15, 2057

Primary Locations: High House in Alexandria; the Pharaonic States survey camp at Abydos; the battlefield surrounding the Temple of Osiris; the Temple of Osiris; the Void Room; the sealed royal treasury beneath Abydos

Session Overview

Session Twenty-Nine begins only hours after Rana Al-Masri completes her interview with Jade Dubois.

Rather than waiting for the interview to air, the party turns immediately toward Abydos. Michael’s research has linked the ancient city to Nigerian artifacts, the Abydos King List, Osiris, royal bloodlines, and the forces surrounding Yusuf. The site appears to offer answers capable of connecting several of the campaign’s longest-running mysteries.

The expedition begins at High House with preparation rather than travel.

David distributes five unidentified artifacts recovered from the Silo, believing that prolonged exposure to the party’s growing magical collection has caused them to begin awakening. Each hero carries one into Abydos. Michael receives an ebony starburst charm associated with time. Yusuf takes an amber scorpion amulet. Rana receives a pewter anklet. Tariq carries a cracked brass belt. David keeps a glowing crystal sphere recognized by the Arcane Blade.

The party then performs a shared ritual around the Staff of Ra. Michael prepares the staff for future use upon Yusuf, while Tariq uses the ceremony to project his vision hundreds of miles south.

What the party sees transforms the expedition.

Abydos is no longer a quiet archaeological site.

At least six factions are fighting around the Temple of Osiris. The Saudi dragon-men and likely Russian operatives are among them. Powered artifact hunters occupy the ruins. Ley lines glow beneath the battlefield. A Pharaonic States military survey team maintains a blackout from the mountains. At the center of the conflict, a massive amorphous guardian disables combatants who attempt to approach the temple.

The heroes choose not to teleport directly into the fighting. They contact the government survey team first and learn that people have been drawn to Abydos since early June. Many entered the temple and never returned. Organized raiding began later, overwhelming defenses that had previously repelled individual intruders.

The survey team also reveals something more personal.

Inside the Temple of Osiris is an ancient image of Ra beside a white-haired priestess who resembles Rana.

Modern worshippers of Ra have already begun appearing among the survey personnel, despite the fact that Rana’s interview has not yet aired. She pauses the expedition long enough to teach them what Ra’s message actually demands: acknowledgment of sin, resistance to corruption, and the obligation to remain in the light.

The party then enters the temple.

They pass magical effects designed to destroy their sense of direction. Black bird-like guardians escort them through the halls. The temple responds to their presence without attacking them.

Michael feels something calling from beyond the Void Room.

The Void is a three-foot sphere that consumes equipment, drains power, distorts distance, and speaks through hostile planar voices. Michael and David cross the room together. They resist its mental pull, preserve their powers, and reach a sealed chamber containing tribute offered by foreign peoples who sought burial and protection at Abydos.

Michael awakens the Chrono Charm and uses it to buy enough time for David to open the chamber without breaking its seal.

Inside, an unidentified soapstone tablet rises to meet him.

The tablet confirms that Michael’s family was an ancient royal lineage. His ancestors traded with Egypt, petitioned for burial at Abydos, and secured protection for their souls in the afterlife.

The Nigerian Prince began as a disguise.

At Abydos, Michael learns it was also the truth.

The Story So Far

Session Twenty-Eight ended with the world preparing to hear Rana Al-Masri speak publicly about Ra, compassion, corruption, and the meaning of power after the Storm.

The interview was completed without attack or interruption. Rana spoke as herself rather than as a distant religious symbol. She explained that Ra did not come to replace what was good in existing faiths and warned that his name must never be used to justify hatred or domination.

At the same time, Michael’s artificial intelligence platform, nAIomi, became fully operational. It found the Resurrected Five in a photograph taken near Abydos, detected three unattributed stealth satellites, located Aleister Crowley in London, and began exposing global crises faster than the party could answer them.

Abydos emerged as the next priority.

The ancient city connects Osiris, resurrection, Yusuf’s bloodline, the Egyptian royal lists, Tariq’s ancestry, and a missing Nigerian relic believed to represent contact between West Africa and the Nile.

The party expected history.

They arrive to find a war.

Major Events & Key Moments

1. The Relics from the Silo

Before leaving High House, David gathers the party around a collection of objects that have remained undefined since the early artifact recoveries.

The items came from the Silo and related caches. They were stored near stronger magical objects, exposed to rituals, ley-line energy, and the party’s expanding collection. David believes that exposure has changed them.

They are no longer inert curiosities. They are waiting.

David keeps a perfect crystal sphere that glows faintly white and draws recognition from the Arcane Blade. He gives Michael an ebony starburst charm associated with time. Tariq accepts a cracked brass belt. Rana takes a pewter anklet. Yusuf receives an amber amulet containing a tiny scorpion.


None of them knows what the objects will become.

David believes the answer will emerge through experience.

Abydos provides one of the most magically saturated environments on Earth.

If the artifacts intend to awaken, they have selected an ambitious place to begin.

2. A Ritual for the Staff of Ra

Michael asks the group to gather around David’s permanent golden circle.

He levitates the Staff of Ra within a localized field of gravity and explains what he wants to accomplish.

The staff accepted multiple magical energies during the party’s previous temple ceremony. Michael now wants to prepare it for future use upon Yusuf. The ritual will not make Yusuf another owner. The staff recognizes Michael and cannot normally be attuned to two independent people.

Instead, Michael wants it to become familiar with Yusuf’s bloodline.

David contributes binding and artifact knowledge. Tariq provides postcognitive magic. Rana and Yusuf join the ceremony. The Staff of Ra hangs above the circle while the party’s powers collect around it.

The work lasts an hour.

The result is not an immediate new power. It is preparation.

The party has learned that ancient relics respond not only to possession, but to relationship, blood, ceremony, and intent.

Michael is ensuring that when he uses the staff upon Yusuf, the artifact will not be meeting him for the first time.

3. Tariq Looks Across Egypt

During the ritual, Tariq reshapes his psychic array into something he has never attempted before.

He sends his vision south.

Distance does not stop the projection. Alexandria falls away. The Nile runs beneath the unseen passage of his senses. Abydos appears nearly eight hundred kilometers from High House.

Because the party remains connected through the ritual, everyone sees what Tariq sees.

The visible temple complex stands within an enormous field of buried history. Raised ground continues toward the mountains. Modern roads and power lines cross land that almost certainly contains additional structures.

The scale explains why so much remains undiscovered.

Archaeologists do not lack imagination.

They lack the ability to remove miles of earth without destroying whatever survives beneath it.

The Alexandrian Storm has arrived at a city still waiting to be excavated.

Unfortunately, several other groups arrived first.

4. The War at Abydos

Power erupts around the Temple of Osiris.


At least six factions fight across the ruins. Some draw visible energy from ley lines. Others impose geometric structures upon the lines themselves. Magical blasts cross the open ground while artifact bearers gather near the temple.

The Saudi dragon-men are present.

A speedster and associated combatants suggest Russian involvement.

Other individuals remain close to the temple without joining the battle. Many carry magical objects they have likely removed from the site.

A Pharaonic States force waits near the mountains with vehicles, heavy equipment, and mobile weapons. They do not behave like a combat unit. Their position resembles an engineering or archaeological operation that has been trapped beside a supernatural war.

The temple glows. A government blackout surrounds the region.

The heroes had planned an expedition.

They are now observing an international artifact rush taking place inside one of humanity’s most important religious sites.

5. The Guardian Without a Mind

The most destructive presence on the battlefield is not one of the organized factions.

It is a towering amorphous creature that shifts between a blob and crude humanoid shapes. It forms hammer-like limbs, appears directly around opponents, and hurls them across the battlefield.

No attack appears to injure it.

During the party’s reconnaissance, the creature envelops two members of a group hiding behind the temple pillars. Tariq reaches toward its mind and discovers that the Blob has no consciousness he can contact.

The minds he finds belong to the people trapped inside it.

One cannot breathe. The other is fading toward unconsciousness.

David identifies the creature as a transformed gelatinous cube, enhanced by the Storm, the temple, or both. Disintegration could destroy pieces of it, but any surviving fragment would eventually regrow.

The party had wondered whether the Blob was a looter, monster, or attacker.

The answer is more complicated. It may be a temple guardian performing its duty with an enthusiasm that leaves very little room for appeals.

6. The Pharaonic States Hold the Line

Rather than teleporting directly into the conflict, the Alexandrian Storm chooses restraint.

Michael carries the group insubstantial to the Pharaonic States survey camp outside Abydos. Tariq announces their arrival openly, refusing to approach as unseen intruders. The greeting surprises the exhausted personnel more than the heroes themselves.

The camp is not commanded by soldiers preparing for battle. Instead, it is staffed by archaeologists, survey engineers, military specialists, and support personnel who have become accidental custodians of one of history's greatest supernatural awakenings.

The lead survey archaeologist explains that strange events began in early June. Individuals from across the world simply started arriving at Abydos. Many entered the Temple of Osiris and never returned. The Pharaonic States initially believed they faced a conventional archaeological emergency and deployed mapping teams equipped with drones, sonic scanners, air-quality monitors, and excavation equipment.

As more artifact seekers appeared, the situation deteriorated rapidly.

Three survey teams established an information blackout using the surrounding mountains and specialized equipment. Their purpose was not secrecy for its own sake, but containment. The world was not prepared to understand what had awakened beneath Abydos.

Only twelve hours before the Alexandrian Storm's arrival had the scattered incursions erupted into open warfare. The archaeologists never intended to become guardians.

History chose otherwise.


7. The Priestess Finds Her Reflection

While reviewing the survey maps, the team is shown images recovered from deep within the temple. Among the ancient carvings stands a familiar figure.

Beside Ra appears a white-haired priestess whose stylized features unmistakably resemble Rana Al-Masri.

The resemblance is not presented as absolute proof of reincarnation or destiny. The surveyors simply acknowledge that the image exists, and Rana recognizes it immediately.


The discovery carries profound emotional weight.

For months, Rana has struggled to understand her relationship with Ra, her miraculous gifts, and the role she occupies within the modern world. Here, inside one of Egypt's oldest sacred sites, she finds evidence that someone resembling her stood beside the Sun God thousands of years ago.

Whether ancestor, predecessor, symbolic representation, or something stranger, the transcript does not answer. It simply records that the image exists.

The temple itself has begun answering questions that no living historian could.


8. The First Followers

Outside the command tent, several members of the survey staff quietly approach Rana.

They are not looking for healing. They are not asking for miracles. They want to know how to pray.

Several have fashioned crude symbols of Ra for themselves despite the fact that Rana's interview has not yet aired. They have reached their own conclusions after witnessing events at Abydos and following public reports surrounding Flight 142.

Rana gathers the small group and teaches them directly.

She does not establish rituals, hierarchy, or religious authority.

Instead, she returns to the same message Ra entrusted to her.

Acknowledge your sins. Reject corruption. Remain in the light. Protect others.

One surveyor named Frankfurt displays particular fascination with Egypt's ancient gods. His interest extends beyond Ra toward the wider pantheon, suggesting that humanity's rediscovery of the divine may not stop with a single deity.

The exchange lasts only minutes. Its implications may last generations.

For the first time, Rana is not simply speaking to the public. She is teaching believers.


9. Into the Temple of Osiris

Armed with the survey team's maps, the Alexandrian Storm teleports into the temple while remaining insubstantial.

Immediately the structure attempts to disorient them.

Every instinct regarding direction begins slipping away as ancient magic interferes with natural perception. Thanks to preparation and strong wills, the party resists the effect before it fully takes hold. The battlefield outside has quieted.

The dragon-men and likely Russian operatives have temporarily ceased fighting, negotiating instead over possession of a powerful magical mirror while the immense Blob guardian waits nearby.

The six artifact hunters observed during Tariq's reconnaissance have vanished. Only two abandoned bags of magical objects remain.

Before anyone can secure them, an unidentified speedster races through the temple and removes both bags in seconds.

The Alexandrian Storm lets the opportunity pass. Their mission has already changed.

The temple itself is calling.


10. The Void

The black bird-like guardians silently escort the party deeper into the temple before disappearing.

Michael alone feels something drawing him toward the Void Chamber.

The surveyors described the phenomenon as a floating black sphere capable of consuming matter without warning.

The reality proves far stranger. The Void is not merely dangerous. It is aware.

Michael and David enter together while Tariq, Rana, Yusuf, Deuce, and Twa remain outside.


Almost immediately distance itself ceases behaving normally.

A chamber only a few dozen feet long stretches into what feels like hundreds of yards.

Walking accomplishes almost nothing. Gravity manipulation barely advances Michael.

David's teleportation provides only incremental progress.

The Void also attempts to reduce their powers while whispering in unknown planar languages that threaten to overwhelm reason itself.

Outside, Tariq discovers his psychic abilities cannot meaningfully penetrate the chamber.

The Void isolates those who enter. Each traveler must cross it alone.

Rather than relying upon greater power, Michael and David rely upon discipline.

They continue.


11. The Treasury Beyond the World

Reaching the sealed doors beyond the Void presents another challenge.

David realizes the ancient mechanism may be opened without violating its magical protections, but doing so normally requires approximately one minute.

Inside the Void, a minute may be impossible.

Michael reaches for the ebony charm David entrusted to him. The artifact awakens.

Drawing strength from the Abydos ley line, the newly awakened Chrono Charm alters Michael's experience of time just long enough for David's ritual to complete.

The seals release. The Void falls silent.

Beyond the doors waits an immense royal treasury filled with tribute from civilizations that sought burial near Osiris and protection within the afterlife.

Michael barely notices any of it. A single object rises from the chamber and floats toward him.


The unidentified soapstone tablet. The moment Michael accepts it, generations of uncertainty disappear. The Nigerian Prince was never merely a convenient identity.

His family truly descends from an ancient royal lineage whose members traded with Egypt, earned recognition among foreign kings, and secured places within Abydos itself.

The theory Omatola Adewale proposed is confirmed. Michael's ancestry is real.

His connection to Abydos is real. The temple had been waiting for him. The tablet recognizes its rightful heir. Michael advances to Power Level 11, though its greater reward is not power.

It is belonging.


12. A Door Closed Again

Neither Michael nor David attempts to empty the treasury.

The heroes take only the artifact that clearly called to its rightful owner.

The great doors are carefully resealed behind them. Outside the chamber, the guardians continue their work.

An artifact hunter approaching the Void is intercepted by the electrical guardian and the invisible aerial predator before the party chooses to intervene. The guardians incapacitate the intruder without confiscating personal magical equipment, suggesting that Abydos judges conduct rather than mere possession of power.

The Alexandrian Storm quietly leaves the chamber exactly as they found it. History remains protected. Only one rightful inheritance changes hands.

The expedition has barely begun.

Yet one of the campaign's oldest mysteries has finally received its answer.


Character Spotlights

Michael Adeyemi

Session Twenty-Nine belongs to Michael.

His leadership during preparation, his willingness to rely upon archaeology rather than force, and his determination to open the treasury lawfully rather than magically breaking it demonstrate remarkable restraint. The awakening of the Chrono Charm and recovery of the soapstone tablet fundamentally redefine his place within the campaign.

For the first time, Michael discovers that the identity of the Nigerian Prince was never merely symbolic. It was inherited.


Rana Al-Masri

Rana spends much of the session teaching rather than fighting.

Finding the ancient image of a priestess resembling herself forces her to confront history on deeply personal terms, while her conversation with the survey personnel demonstrates that Ra's faith has already begun spreading before her interview reaches the public.

Rather than creating followers through miracles, Rana creates them through compassion and instruction.


Tariq Mansour

Tariq's long-range ESP transforms the expedition before it begins.

His reconnaissance prevents the party from teleporting blindly into an active battlefield and reveals critical information regarding factions, guardians, ley lines, and the government's containment effort.

Throughout the expedition he consistently favors information gathering over reckless action, illustrating how dramatically his role has evolved since the campaign's beginning.


David Hassan

David continues proving himself as the campaign's foremost magical craftsman.

His judgment regarding the awakened artifacts, understanding of the ancient seals, and willingness to preserve the integrity of the royal treasury rather than plundering it demonstrate growing maturity as both an artificer and guardian of history.

Without David, Michael never reaches the soapstone tablet.


Yusuf Khalid

Although Yusuf receives fewer dramatic moments than other party members, his quiet vigilance remains essential.

His observations during Tariq's reconnaissance, disciplined security throughout the expedition, and willingness to let stronger personalities lead when appropriate reflect increasing confidence and teamwork.

The amber scorpion artifact hints that his own story is only beginning.


GM Notes & World Narrative

Session Twenty-Nine shifts the campaign from discovery into inheritance.

The Temple of Osiris is not presented as another dungeon filled with treasure. It behaves as a living sacred place that evaluates intention, lineage, patience, and respect before granting access to its deepest mysteries.

Nearly every important success comes through restraint.

The party chooses reconnaissance before action.

They speak with archaeologists rather than charging into battle.

They preserve the treasury rather than looting it.

Michael refuses to force the seals.

Even Rana's contribution centers upon teaching instead of demonstrating power.

The guardians reinforce this theme.

The Blob, electrical entity, invisible predator, and other defenders appear to punish intrusion rather than simply attack life indiscriminately. The temple behaves less like an ancient trap and more like an immune system responding to perceived violations.

Finally, Michael's revelation regarding his ancestry dramatically expands the campaign's historical scope. The relationship between West Africa and ancient Egypt is no longer speculation. The temple itself confirms it.

Next Session Preview

The Temple of Osiris has acknowledged Michael's bloodline, but it has not revealed all of its secrets. Ancient guardians still patrol the halls. Powerful factions continue fighting only a short distance away.  The awakened artifacts carried by the Alexandrian Storm have only begun revealing their true nature.

And somewhere beneath the oldest sacred city in Egypt, history still waits behind unopened doors. The Alexandrian Storm came to Abydos seeking answers.

They leave with proof that the past has been waiting for them all along.
