In Akiri myth and religion, Ra is a sun god who was held in great respect as the creator of the universe and lord of the gods.[1]
The Punishment of Anhktepot
Ironically enough, Anhktepot, once pharaoh and now the ancient dead darklord of Har'Akir, is (or was, prior to his corruption, now receiving spells from the Dark Powers instead of Ra[2]) a potent cleric of Ra. For Anhktepot's betrayal and blasphemy in his search for immortality, Ra granted Anhktepot with a cursed form of the eternal life he wished for. Anhktepot's evil did not abate, so his own priests rebelled against him. They murdered and mummified Anhktepot, leaving him to eternally suffer in his bindings. The Dark Powers stepped in and claimed Anhktepot for their own playthings[3]
Other Informaation
A statue of Ra is among the six that grace the outer wall of the Anhktepot's Tomb.
