 A Glorious Civilization
By Ethan Fleischer, Amonkhet™ co-lead designer

Discover the ancient and powerful civilization of Amonkhet. The people of this
fertile valley raise monuments to the glory of their gods and compete for their
blessings. But something sinister lurks beneath the orderly façade of this society.

The Amonkhet set began with a simple question: what if Magic™ did its own take on
ancient Egypt? There could be a plane with scorching deserts, shambling mummies,
and awe-inspiring monuments.

That sounded great, but what could make it even better? What if the villainous
Planeswalker Nicol Bolas ruled the world? What if he was the chief god of the pantheon
there? What would a world built in Bolas’s image look like? It would be a cruel,
dangerous world of lies and oppression.

But one more piece was needed to round it out. What about battles to the death, fought
to achieve the God-Pharaoh’s promise of a glorious afterlife? The five trials—each
associated with one of the five Magic colors—give structure to this society and to the set.

 Amonkhet Mechanics
The abilities in Amonkhet are representative of the God-Pharaoh’s perfect society. Tireless
effort is rewarded with glory, and death is merely another chance to serve. Playing with
this set will give you a new appreciation of the graveyard, with Zombies rising from the
dead at every turn and spells that find new usefulness after they’ve been cast. Pack your
decks with battle-hardened initiates and fearsome demons of the desert wastes.

 The World of Amonkhet
Amonkhet is a world of endless desert, plagued by marauding mummies, ravenous
sandwurms, malicious demons, and a host of unimaginable terrors. A necromantic
phenomenon called the Curse of Wandering causes any being that dies on Amonkhet to
rise again as the mummified undead, burdened with insatiable hunger and an irresistible
drive to attack the living. This could have been a world given over to horror if it weren’t
for a single, gleaming city that stands amidst it all: Naktamun.

Naktamun is protected by a magical barrier known as the Hekma. A gift from the all-
powerful but absent God-Pharaoh, the Hekma keeps the horrors of the desert at bay and
allows life to flourish within the city. Every day, the people of Naktamun are confronted
by the truth of what their lives would be if the Hekma barrier were to fall. The whipping
sands of the brutal desert assault the transparent barrier, hordes of cursed mummies
press against it, and monsters as tall as monuments strike at it. Only the magic and the
might of the gods hold them off.

8 Illus. Grzegorz Rutkowski

This is a civilization at its height. Massive,
gold-encrusted monuments tower over
a fertile river valley. A pantheon of five
benevolent, animal-headed gods rewards
the faithful. The people’s needs are tended
to by ranks of hard-working serving
mummies. Naktamun is a paradise.

Soon, the God-Pharaoh will return to

bring the people to a wondrous afterlife.
The Second Sun, a magical orb that
marks the time until the God-Pharaoh’s
arrival, has nearly reached its final resting
place between the distant horns of his
monument. The people of Naktamun
are in a frenzy of preparation, anxious to
complete the five trials and prove their
worth before the final hour. An eternal
life awaits!

Illus. E. M. Gist and Volkan Baga 9

 The Journey to the Afterlife
The promised afterlife awaits those who prove they are worthy. It’s the aim of all
people who live in Naktamun—human, naga, aven, minotaur, and khenra—to earn a
place alongside the God-Pharaoh.

Acolytes
Children as young as five are invited to
become acolytes. Along with the others
in their birth year, they are known as the
year’s crop. As part of their preparation, a
crop must construct a ceremonial obelisk.
The task can take over a decade, and as
they work, the acolytes strengthen their
bonds of friendship, demonstrating that
when the time comes in the final trial they
will do the honor of granting each other
Glorified Deaths.

10 Illus. Christine Choi and Magali Villeneuve

The Ceremony of Measurement
Their time as acolytes comes to a close when a crop is called to stand before the
pantheon of gods for the Ceremony of Measurement. Through the magic of the ritual,
the gods can see the true heart of each acolyte. Those judged worthy become the God-
Pharaoh’s initiates or are selected by the individual gods to become viziers in service to
the gods. Those judged unworthy are culled from the crop and exiled from the city.

Initiates
The majority of those judged at the Ceremony of Measurement become initiates.
Initiates will face the five trials that test the five aspects of worthiness: Solidarity,
Knowledge, Strength, Ambition, and Zeal.

For each trial passed, initiates earn a cartouche, an amulet inlaid with shimmering blue
lazotep and imbued with the magic of the God-Pharaoh. Each successive cartouche is
attached to the one above, so they form a line running down the initiate’s chest. The
God-Pharaoh teaches that this record of the initiate’s achievements preserves the initiate’s
essence, safeguarding their life force for the journey to the afterlife.

The Trial of Zeal, the last of the five, is a combat to the death. The bodies of the worthy dead
who succeeded at all five trials are carried through the Gate to the Afterlife on a funerary
barge. They will wait in a glorious oasis until the God-Pharaoh arrives to welcome them as
eternals in the afterlife.

Illus. Chris Rahn 11

 Viziers
At the Ceremony of Measurement, a select few are chosen by one of the five gods for
honorable service as a vizier. Viziers perform a number of essential tasks: they lead
rituals, oversee the trials, teach and train acolytes and initiates, keep watch over the
protective Hekma, and carry out the will of the gods. They do not earn five cartouches
as the initiates strive to do. Instead they are given a single cartouche to represent their
mastery of one aspect of worthiness. Their devotion is rewarded with a Glorified Death
at the end of their service.

12
Serving Mummies
While all strive to prove they are worthy of the afterlife, not everyone succeeds. An
acolyte may perish in training, an initiate may die in a trial, or a vizier may pass before
having the chance to prove devotion. The God-Pharaoh has promised that the fallen,
though unworthy, will not spend eternity in the desert suffering from the Curse of the
Wandering. Their bodies are carefully embalmed, anointed, and awakened to serve.

Each of the anointed is given a cartouche that directs them to a particular form of
service. They may harvest food, quarry stone, construct buildings, cook and clean, care
for children, dispose of waste, assist in ceremonies, spar with acolytes, lead drills for
initiates, load the funerary barges, or embalm the bodies of others like themselves. A
second lifetime of service will earn them a place as attendants in the afterlife.

Unworthy Dissenters
Even in the paradise-like oasis of Naktamun, there are dissenters who doubt the
teachings of the God-Pharaoh. They refuse to follow a path that would lead them
to the afterlife. Punishment for dissenters is severe. Angels bind them in special
sarcophagi, called Tombs of Disgrace, which leave the prisoners’ hands exposed. The
sarcophagi line the streets of Naktamun for all to look upon in what is known as a
Display of Doubt. When the display concludes, the angels carry the dissenters through
the Hekma and into the desert beyond where they are left to be consumed by the
Curse of Wandering.

Illus. Lake Hurwitz and Anthony Palumbo 13

 The Pantheon of Gods
In the absence of the God-Pharaoh, five gods rule over Amonkhet. They believe
they were created by the God-Pharaoh to act as his stewards, to protect the people,
and to guide them through the five trials to the afterlife. If they execute their duties
faithfully, they too will be welcomed to the afterlife.

The gods have humanlike bodies and heads of living gold that resemble the heads
of animals—Oketra, a cat; Kefnet, an ibis; Rhonas, a cobra; Bontu, a crocodile; and
Hazoret, a jackal. They stand thirty feet tall, wield enormous weapons, possess
immense physical power and magical might, and are nearly invulnerable.

Daily, the gods can be found among their people, teaching the virtues they embody.
Each god is responsible for training and testing initiates in one aspect of worthiness.
The five trials are held in the gods’ monuments: massive, awe-inspiring structures
shaped like the gods’ heads that line the Luxa River.

14 Illus. Noah Bradley and Chase Stone

Oketra the True
Cat-headed god of solidarity.
White-aligned.

To be in Oketra’s presence is to be awed

and inspired. She is an archer with
unshakable focus who never misses her
mark. Her arrows are made from the
light of the Second Sun, and a single
wound is enough to take down even the
largest desert horror.

The Trial of Solidarity

Oketra’s is the first trial initiates
undertake. A crop enters her monument
to find their obelisk, which they worked
for years to construct, standing in the
center of the chamber. At the beginning
of the trial, Oketra shoots a massive
arrow to the far side of the chamber. The
floor of the monument shifts, creating a
treacherous landscape, and all manner
of enemies swarm in—viziers, anointed
mummies, horned beasts, and even
angels. The enemies assault both the
initiates and their obelisk. The crop
must work together to defend their
obelisk and retrieve Oketra’s arrow.
They succeed or fail together.

“The worthy shall respect the worthy. In

the afterlife, all will stand united.”
—Inscription on Oketra’s monument

15
 Kefnet the Mindful
Ibis-headed god of knowledge.
Blue-aligned.

Kefnet knows all, from the deepest

fears in the hearts of the initiates to the
wondrous truths of the afterlife. With
his glorious golden wings, he soars over
Naktamun, observing everything and
everyone. He considers the city under
his protection; his command over water
and illusion sustains the Hekma barrier.

The Trial of Knowledge

Kefnet welcomes initiates to his trial
with a spell that dampens their physical
instincts, forcing them to depend on
their mental acumen and spellcasting
abilities. A vast labyrinth of water and
illusion extends before them. The maze
defies reality. It is filled with threats like
illusory horrors, traps, and false doors—
all curated to play on the fears of the
individual initiates. Not only must the
initiates navigate this labyrinth of terror,
but they must also realize the glyphs
on the walls hold the key to passing the
trial: a spell that will reveal the true exit.
Without this spell, they will drown in
the final room. A truly wise initiate will
feel barely a drop of water.

“The worthy shall cultivate a nimble

mind to perceive the glorious wonders
that await them.”
—Inscription on Kefnet’s monument

16 Illus. Chase Stone

Rhonas the Indomitable
Cobra-headed god of strength.
Green-aligned.

To Rhonas, strength is all. Strength

encompasses physical forcefulness,
speed, endurance, mental reflexes,
willpower, and determination. He
believes he has obtained perfect
strength. Without hesitation, he rushes
into battle to protect the city and its
people from desert horrors, wielding his
powerful weapon and poisonous fangs.

The Trial of Strength

Rhonas has little patience for the weak,
which is why he made entry into his
monument a trial of its own. Initiates
must climb thorny vines and ride down
a raging waterfall. Rhonas greets those
who survive, informing them that toxin
from the thorns has left them incapable
of spellcasting; they must depend on
their physical prowess. Within the
monument, a seemingly endless jungle
is filled with territorial beasts and
poisonous hazards. It takes days for
initiates to reach the heart of the jungle
where they find an ancient basilisk. They
must claim one of the basilisk’s scales,
which holds the cure for the toxin. But
that is not the end. Initiates must still
cross the final half of the jungle.

“The worthy shall hone a strong body

to endure the boundless energies
of the afterlife.”
—Inscription on Rhonas’s monument

17
 Bontu the Glorified
Crocodile-headed god of ambition.
Black-aligned.

Bontu is a solitary being. She spends most

of her time in the embalming chambers
under Naktamun. It’s her duty to oversee
the preparation of the anointed, and in
turn she selects the best of the serving
mummies to tend to her every need.
Bontu believes that among the gods she
is the most worthy, and she intends to
prove her worth to the God-Pharaoh.

The Trial of Ambition

Ten members of a crop enter the Trial
of Ambition, where they are made to
compete rather than cooperate. The
further they advance, the more pressure
they come under to turn on each other.
In the final chamber, Bontu informs the
remaining initiates that there are three
doors, and their starting position in the
final Trial of Zeal will be determined
by the door through which they exit.
The initiates are forced to act quickly as
swarms of flesh-eating scarab beetles
enter the room. It is the initiate willing
to put personal glory over friendship
who will achieve the highest honor.

“The worthy shall strive for greatness.

Supremacy in life leads to supremacy
in the afterlife.”
—Inscription on Bontu’s monument

18 Illus. Chase Stone

Hazoret the Fervent
Jackal-headed god of zeal.
Red-aligned.

Hazoret believes she is the daughter of

the God-Pharaoh, made of the same
magic as the Second Sun and the fire of
the God-Pharaoh’s breath. In turn, she
sees the initiates who pass the first four
trials as her children. She celebrates with
these glorified initiates before the final
trial, and it falls to her to grant them a
Glorified Death.

The Trial of Zeal

All who enter the final trial have earned
the rank of worthy and will be invited
to the afterlife. This trial determines
what place each shall have, and it ends
with Glorified Death for all. Hazoret’s
trial takes place in the arena of her
monument, known as the Proving
Ground. A series of escalating combats
pit initiates against each other. The
surviving initiates from each combat
climb to the next platform, moving up
the Steps of Battle. The bodies of those
who die are carried to funerary barges,
which will take them through the Gate
to the Afterlife. When only one initiate
remains, Hazoret grants that initiate
the most Glorified Death with her
forked staff. Her gift is eternal honor.

“The worthy shall rush to the God-

Pharaoh’s side with relentless zeal, rising
to overcome every obstacle.”
—Inscription on Hazoret’s monument

19
 The Gatewatch
Comes to Amonkhet
After their victory over Tezzeret on Kaladesh, the five
Planeswalkers of the Gatewatch—Gideon Jura, Jace
Beleren, Liliana Vess, Chandra Nalaar, and Nissa Revane—
learned that the dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas was
behind Tezzeret’s schemes. He planned to create a Planar
Bridge, which if finished would pose a significant threat
to the Multiverse. Without hesitation, they traveled to
Amonkhet to confront Nicol Bolas before he completes
his nefarious plans.

Knowing that Amonkhet was Nicol Bolas’s stronghold,

the Gatewatch expected to find a hellscape, and they were
shocked to discover the protected oasis of Naktamun.
Gideon was enamored by the genuine care the gods
showed for the people; they seemed far more kind than
the gods on his home world of Theros. He longed to get to
know these divine beings better, so he entered the trials.

20 Illus. Izzy, Chris Rallis, and Howard Lyon

 Meanwhile, Liliana had her own selfish
reason for traveling to Amonkhet: her
plan to enlist the help of the Gatewatch to
kill Razaketh, the third demon to whom
she was bound in contract.

But Nissa was unsettled by the darkness

she could feel pervading the cursed land.
Together with Chandra, she discovered
that things were not as glorious as they
first seemed. People who did nothing
more than doubt the God-Pharaoh’s
teachings were locked in sarcophagi
and cast out to die. In a rage, Chandra
liberated the prisoners, including the
fierce dissenter Samut.

Gideon too discovered that Nicol Bolas’s

influence ran deep, affecting even the
gods. Nicol Bolas had established himself
as God-Pharaoh, and the people and gods
of Amonkhet believed he would return to
welcome them to the afterlife when the
magical Second Sun came to rest between
the horns of his statue. Whatever the
dragon Planeswalker’s plan was for the
people, the Gatewatch were sure it wasn’t
good. They prepared to face Nicol Bolas
when he arrives, ready to do whatever
it takes to stop him, even if that means
standing against the world’s gods.

Five moments of the Amonkhet story—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards.

You can identify these cards by the large Planeswalker symbol behind their text.
