The Asar are known in other lands as men. When Ægyptus was young, they came to the Land of the Nile fleeing some long-forgotten evil, and the god Osiris gave them sanctuary, adopting them as his own Children. Peacefully, they dwelt with their fellow Ægyptians, acting as the administrators and officials of Ægyptus. All that has changed when Osiris was murdered by treacherous Set, and their city of Abydos was besieged by the dark god''s army. Since that time, the Asar have become a fragmented people.
