Occupations

Councilors

Description unavailable.

Commanders

Medjai and Djed commanders are accomplished warriors. They oversee anything involving war, tribal safety, and they're required to have quick decision making skills. Unless they're the High Chieftain who oversees all tribes, a commander only oversees their tribe.

Medjai commanders are elected by the councilors, and a Djed commander is a paternal hereditary position. Commanders can only be men. Furthermore, it must be emphasized that a Djed commander has their tribe name as their surname, and this isn't practiced amongst the Medjai.

• Languages taught: Arabic, ancient Egyptian, and English depending on their time spent outside of their tribe.

Sub-Occupations: Warriors, Trainers, Messengers and Spies.

Warriors

Medjai warriors are to guard Hamunaptra, protect the Egyptian royal family, and ensure that Imhotep is not awakened; if he is, their sole duty is to return him to his grave at all costs, as they swore this upon entering manhood.

All Medjai men are required to begin training at age seven, and if they pass the cultural rite they become a full warrior. However, if they fail they don't become a warrior but they're permitted to continue training as a sub-occupation due to the declining warrior population and they're not summoned unless they're truly needed. However, all warriors who've passed the rite are required to partake in battles. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated most Medjai warriors participated in the Battle of Ahm Shere.

A Djed becomes a warrior based on either their hereditary occupation or a vision they receive during the cultural rite. Djed warriors don't have the duties that the Medjai do.

Medjai don't permit women to become warriors, and while women are accepted as warriors amongst the Djed, it is extremely rare. We currently aren't accepting female warriors, but we are accepting male warriors for both clans.

• Medjai warriors are trained in martial combat, sword fighting, archery and gunfire.
• Djed warriors are trained in martial combat, sword fighting and archery. It's uncommon for them to be taught gunfire.

• Medjai languages: Arabic. They're rarely taught ancient Egyptian and English unless a reason's provided.
• Djed languages: Arabic and ancient Egyptian. They're rarely taught English unless a reason's provided.

Sub-Occupations: Trainers, Scouts, Messengers and Spies.

Priests/Priestesses (Djed only.)

As the Djed are Kemetics and follow the ancient Egyptians, their priesthood is quite similar in function. It must be emphasized that amongst the Djed Kemetism is the sole religion, therefore there's no need to preach. All ancient Egyptian Gods exist amongst the Djed tribe, and therefore there are individual cults per God.

The Djed priest's cycle consists of working one month every three months and other months are dedicated to another profession. Due to the fact that becoming a priest takes longer than other occupations it's not required for a priest to partake in quests - they just start immediately after they complete their apprenticeship.

• Languages taught: Arabic, ancient Egyptian, and English depending on their time spent outside of their tribe.

Ranks:

• The High Priest(ess) is the chief priest of a cult. In the Djed there is only one High Priest per God, and not per tribe.
• Lector Priests are ceremonial masters, overseers of funeral rites, and they're responsible for reciting religious texts precisely.
• Priestesses are singers, musicians and dancers, and they're usually affiliated with a goddess. During funerals women also become professional mourners, and two women in funerary cults are given the titles Great Kite and Little Kite.

Sub-Occupations: Councilors, Scribes and Storytellers.

Healers

Description unavailable.

Scribes

A scribe's duties involve composition, the copying of literary texts and keeping records. Unlike most occupations available, a scribe begins apprenticeship at sixteen years of age and it ends when they're twenty-seven years of age. Therefore due to their long-term apprenticeship a Djed scribe doesn't partake in quests, and amongst the Medjai quests are inexistent.

It must be noted that while the Djed permit both men and women to become scribes, Medjai women rarely become scribes as it's a patriarchal occupation.

• Languages taught: Arabic, ancient Egyptian, and English depending on their time spent outside of their tribe.
• Djed equipment: reed pens, papyrus, and red and black ink palettes.
• Medjai equipment: qalam, paper, and black ink palettes.

Sub-Occupations: Councilors, Priests and Storytellers.

Spies

Spies relay information to their tribe from outside the city, when they infiltrate an enemy's territory, or for other espionage related events. They're required to blend into the crowd via disguises, and if they live inside the city (and not with their tribe) they're required to report back to their tribe periodically.
