SPARTEN
17-08-2004, 20:38
Surveying the construction site of his burial pyramid the pharaoh leaned out over the balcony watching the slaves toil and work in the harsh sun. The gods had blessed his lands with a plentiful supply of resources and the ever present rivers which are the life blood of the nation had always kept true to their promise to flood every year.
The guards maintaining order in the capital oversaw the work of the Israelite slaves, and when necessary they would whip obedience and a backbone into them, they should be thankful for the food they receive from the government, working to build the eternal resting place of their god is a great honour, though for some reason the slaves never did realise the duty bestowed upon them.

A huge pillar, hand carved and worked on for over twenty years was now being raised into position, the pharaoh in awe at what he had designed and oversaw was now rejoicing at the splendour of his capital. Huge mirrors shone light into every corner of the city, while colour and hieroglyphs covered the walls of the temples and homes of the general populace. Staring in awe of the great city the pharaoh was interrupted by an advisor moving onto the balcony. Prostrating on the floor before his God the advisor waited before the command to raise was given.
The advisor a tall, pale, skinny man raised and faced the pharaoh making sure to keep indirect eye contact. “My lord I have disturbing news on the slave population, it appears that if they continue their current population increase then they will outnumber us by three to one, we have attempted to introduce contraceptives but they see it as an insult to their false god. What are we to do my lord?”
The Pharaoh concerned by this sudden but expected population boom would do what he has always done in a crisis or difficult position. He would look to his ancestors for advice. Thinking back to the ancient and grand kingdom where Sparten ruled the region un-challenged the pharaoh drew a sinister smile upon his face. “GUARD!”
At once a soldier came running at the beckon of his god, once again prostrating on the floor he begged his liege for instructions. “Let it be known throughout the land that all male Israelite children under the age of twelve are to be slaughtered tonight. I want no survivors.” The guard shocked but not horrified at this merely smiled. “It will be an honour to serve you my lord, as always.”
In the darkness of the Sparten night the guards took to the streets, bursting into every Israelite home they made their way to each bedroom searching for a child, if and when they discovered a slave hiding or sleeping the guards would raise their curved knives and slit their throats.

The slaughter had begun.
OOC: I'm essentialy wanting to go all biblical, I'm looking for people to rp an underground resistance (Jewish of course to try and free the slave population. The resistance of course can have semi-backing from your nation just not too much. If you want to apply send me a tg or post here thanks. BTW This is Modern Tech, or if demand requires it can go ancient tech)
