Amunyet was born into a minor Osirion noble family in the capital of Sothis. A strong, but somewhat clumsy, child, she was the youngest of six. At a young age, she was sent to join the priesthood of Pharasma, as many of the younger sons and daughters of those in her station often were. The elder priests and priestesses found she took to their teachings quickly, and had an almost unnatural affinity with the dead.
Amunyet likely would have remained in Sothis for many years, performing her duties and rising through the ranks of the priesthood. However, only a few months ago, one of the elder priests received a prophetic vision - one he believed came directly from Pharasma. He saw a darkness in the sky, a blot, over a gate of strange symbols. There were people about, and as he watched, he saw that their faces were the faces of the dead.
Through further divinations, the priest realized that the gate in question was the Cyphergate of Riddleport, and the vision fortold great calamity. After discussing the matter with the temple high priestess, they decided to send one of the acolytes to investigate, and Amunyet was chosen as the most capable. Now, after several weeks of travel, Amunyet has arrived at Riddleport to look into this mysterious blot.
