history.

Born Raemka, the third son to Pharaoh Shepsekare and Queen Sitkamun on the banks of the river kingdom Ta-senet. Raemka was a notably joyful boy with a distinct taste for both mischief and luxury. After the unexpected death of his mother, the palace became a closely bonded house of men, without feminine influence. Their aging father stepped down from Pharaoh and Rahotep, the eldest brother and former Vizier, assumed leadership. Raemka went on to study sciences and architecture, taking up the position of Great Royal Architect and earning his prince name, Rashepses.

At the start of the riverprince’s second year, a summons came from Akashingo seeking suitors for the then princess, Toula. As the last son to wed, Rashepses and his retinue set off across the desert to court and win the fair woman’s heart so he might take ownership of ther kingdom as Pharaoh. He did not expect to fall for her in earnest, and after professing their love the two were married, with Toula rising to Pharaoh and Rashepses Divine Consort of Akashingo.

Following a few months of wedded bliss and a holy fertility ritual, Toula surprised Rashepses with her pregnancy. Pharaoh and King welcomed the arrival of their first litter in the summer of 2024. The following winter, tragedy struck Akashingo, leaving the kingdom with no choice but to abandon their legacy palace.
