- Start
An old man is sweeping sand off the ruins of Akhetaten, very slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. He has. (Requires A Stranger in Men-nefer.)
- Stage 1
Old Huya stayed behind when the court abandoned Akhetaten, and he's still filing the clay letters of foreign kings. The sun-starved shades of the southern ruins and the Flamecallers of Set in the eastern ruins have carried them off. I should bring him 4 clay letters.
Updated by talking to Old Huya - Stage 2
One letter, from Tushratta, King of Mitanni, lists his wedding gifts to Pharaoh: 'bows of the north, of horn and sinew'. Huya swears they were never unpacked. They should still be in the storerooms of the Temple of Aten. I should go and look.
To do: Go to Temple of AtenUpdated by talking to Old Huya - Stage 3
The temple storerooms have been smashed open and stink of burning: the Flamecallers of Set got there first. I should take back what they stole from the Flamecallers in the eastern ruins: 4 of them should do it.
To do: Kill 4 × Flamecaller of Set - Stage 4
The last Flamecaller dropped a long bundle wrapped in faded royal linen. I should bring it to Huya.
- Complete
Inside the bundle was a composite bow of Mitanni, still strung after thirty years. Huya gave it to me: Pharaoh, he says, won't be needing it.
