Since the time of the Nameless Empire, the Arisen have commanded devoted groups of mortals who serve them. Even during their long periods of sleep these organizations continue, passing along their secrets and duties to the next generation and watching over the tombs of their masters. Typically only one mummy oversees each cult, and if that mummy dies or disappears the cult may go rogue and use their eldritch knowledge for their own purposes. This might be the ultimate origins of Last Dynasty International. The Blessed are ghosts who are affiliated with a mummy's cult.
