Copies of these scrolls begin turning up in Djedet and are sent with reverence to the Monolith. Each scroll would address one part of the guiding system of Maat pertaining to the culture of Mulhorand. They are written in beautiful arranged pictoglyphs. These particular scrolls bear the seal of one Tauronemhet.
Book 1: Social Order and Harmony
Verse I: "I have made every man like his fellow"
Social order is important, as is tradition, but within the eye of the God-Kings all men within the realms are equal within the cosmic harmony. No man, property or noble, is above the service he must render unto the Gods, for it is with service that man finds his way into immortality. To maintain the kingdom the summation of all its parts, from the youngest child to the eldest man, from the smallest Oasis to the largest Sepat, must be preserved.
Verse II: "The highest palm frond owes life to its roots"
The Pharoah is served by his subjects for he is the manifestation of the Divine rule of the Gods. The Pharoah therefore must also serve the people for he is answerable to the Gods, for the people, even the lowest property, are also the subjects of the Gods above him.
Verse III: "I have never seen a man give birth, have you?"
Women within the realm are to be granted the same rights to land and the oppurtunity to accumulate wealth and title if they are unmarried or are widowed and the eldest sons are not of age. This is a universal truth for it was Isis and Nepthys who returned Lord Osiris to life.
Verse IV: "The fairest gems are often found in the plainest earth"
Venerate intelligence and wit, judge not by birth but by merit. Seek out the able amongst the people, amongst the property, amongst the nobility and amongst the artisan castes. Relate to them the Maat and provide them the means to reach their full potential.
Verse V: "It is not the victors that write the histories. No, it is the scribes"
Honor the history of the kingdom of the God-Pharoahs. Offer succour and protection to the literate for the preservation of the Kingdoms history is what allows the truest people of the realms to endure. The lowest scribe is as valuable to the Kingdom as the most literate noble.
Verse VI: "Better to be property than a pauper"
All within the Kingdom serve the God-Pharoahs. If a man, noble or free cannot pay a debt, let him enter the ranks of property gladly. The Knowledge that all men within the Kingdom serve, is the foundation of our glory.
Verse VII: "The Lion does not maim, nor does he kill without cause"
All within the Kingdom serve the God-Pharoahs, and all within the Kingdom are answerable to the Law. Doing injury unto another, without cause or provocation will see the antagonist face justice. Even the lowest of property have a right to wellbeing.
