The heat is rolling in. After spring's cool air and occasional rains, summer hits Egypt like a wall. No one is prepared for the heat. A few old ones say they have never experienced this, and it is record breaking. No one can remember having it hotter than this.

Bartimaeus Egypt is a role-play site, vaguely centered around Jonathon Stroud's "The Bartimaeus Trilogy". It has a few twists of it's own, such as the desert angel plot, and other things. It has the same basic characteristics, with commoners and magicians. It isn't required to read the books before joining this site.

A long time ago there was a man. This man had no name anyone can recollect but he was a profit and a magician. One night he had a dream. Twins will be born with the power to tear the desert apart at its seams. Since it was midevil times and he was a highly respected man, people believed him. Magicians were banned from having children. All the commoners twins were set on the sand and left to the scorpions. When this profecy did not come true, the people were outraged. They killed the man by cutting his feet and hands off and leaving him to the scorpions. They soon forgot about the profecy and the law. Their lives returned to normal. The man and his profecy were soon forgotten.
Alexis Wentz and Mark Lovett are going to have a baby. Correction. Make that two babies. They are the twins of legend. They just dont know it yet.
Kantai Mugaro was looking through his book of laws. He found one that he was not familiar with. No magicians shall have children. The punishment is death to the child. He frowned. He didnt bring this law up in front of the government until he found out about Alexis's newborn children.
Rosalie Swan does not live in the city. She lived in a small hut on the other side of the Nile. The only way to reach her house was by taking a boat across the river and then taking a ten mile hike to her property. One day she was out in her garden when she heard a cry. Quickly followed by another. The wailings continued until her curiousiy got the better of her and she had to go look. She found two tiny babies on the ground. She took them to her home where she would take care of them.

&&. The Egyptians Here is where you can find a list of all the commoners and or magicians that reside in Egypt. If your character isn't here for whatever reason please PM a staff member. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The Other Place If you have a demon or a demoness they can be found here. You may also role-play any un-summoned spirits here. Please keep in mind that in the other place the spirits really have no form and are nothing but a blur of color, unless they choose to mold themselves into something. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. Politics Many magicians work here, passing laws for commoners to follow. The office itself is huge, with polished mahogany floors and rosewood desks. The first floor is a stylish lobby with a receptionist. As you climb higher through the floors you get to higher rnaked magicians. The most powerful work on the top floor, the seventh. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. Start a Riot Sometimes commoners have a problem with the magicians' laws. So they come here, the main square, to rebel against their rulers. Often though, they are arrested, or even worse, killed. So only a few dare risk their lives revolting against the government. The main square itself is made of sandstone, worn smooth by ages of walking feet. A street shops surround it and the main street runs through it. It has absolutely no shade besides the canopies of the buildings so it is exhausting to stand there all day. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!

&&. Cairo The capital of Egypt. With it's lightly colored majestic buildings, it is quite a city. The streets are filled with people on foot and people on livestock. Often street vendors station themselves so that many come to them, but they are more common in the market. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. Magician Homes You can describe your magician's home, whether they choose to live like the commoners in poor mud huts or whether they choose to live wealthier in huge mansions with fountains abound and dogs and livestock and butlers waiting on their every whim. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. Commoner Homes Here, you can describe your commoner's home. Maybe they have more money than most and can afford to live in a wooden hut, or, like most of the commoner population, are forced to live in mud huts, with holes for windows and a blanket for a door. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The shops Commoners and magicians servants venture here for provisions, cloth, or tools, or anything else they might need. It is mainly segregated, with the magician's servants going to a cleaner, more fruitful area when commoners are forced to use a dirty, ugly part of town that produces horrible things. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The Tower A 'jail' to some. Commoners are often held here after being condemned on trial or to be interrogated by magicians. Many are dragged within it's walls, few come out. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The Pyramids In the outskirts lie these huge monsters. Built in ancient times with entrances and hieroglyphics that only archaeologists can guess at, they are a mystery to many, as well as a refuge. Their huge shadow provides much shade, even during the midday hours. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The Nile The Nile itself is quite relaxing, as well as a congregating spot for many. Some commoners come here to do their laundry, sometimes even magicians venture here to sail about on boats larger than the richest commoner's houses. But the place is riddled with dangers, like alligators, toxic waters and even hippopotamuses. Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
&&. The Pits (2 sub-boards) Just a fancy name for BE's old, forgotten, or finished threads. To be put in here, all the RPers in the thread must agree it is over and then ask a staff member to move it. There are two sub-boards. The OOC board is for chat conversations etc. The IC board is for finished role-play threads Moderators: Thunder, rebel!
