Book of the Dead

Sadly, your father's misdemeanours are reflected upon his relations, and
you too are banished from Paradise by the wrathful Horus, and doomed to
live out a mortal life in the world of men - a dismal end at best. But
not all gods are against you, as after all you are innocent of the
murder! With their calndestine help, there may be a way back to the
immortal status of god - but this leads through death itself.

There is an ancient manuscript, almost forgotten even by the gods, which
is known only as the Book of the Dead. It is a work written in mouldering
tomes, on tomb walls, and even in the minds of priests and other beings.
It details the one method by which a mortal soul may travel after death
to the Other World. This, then, is the route of your redemption, if you
can find it.

But at the last minute, Horus, still overhelmed by grief and rage,
discovers this. As you leave the Other World, and emerge into the land
of Men as a frail mortal, he places an awful curse on you, manifesting
itself as a crippling disease which will kill you long before you can
undergo the rites of purification to release your soul back to Godhood.
There is one last hope - somehow secure the aid of friendlier gods to
cure yourself in time...
