Last Year's Events: The Alphatians
mostly forgot the role Thothia played in keeping the Alphatian remnants out of
Thyatian grasp, and the aura that the Thothians had gained faded to the point
that it lost its grip on the Naycese Council.
Facing trouble at home, with the attack by spiders and the denunciation
of his policy by Haptuthep, Pharaoh Ramenhotep dramatically altered his
stance, notably by using what power Thothia still had in the council to prevent
it from interfering on the Isle of Dawn.
