Nari is Sedjem — a temple slave, unnamed by law, invisible by design. She scrubs blood from judgment hall floors while priests weigh the hearts of the condemned. In an empire that has industrialised death and legislated against entropy, she occupies the lowest tier, seeing everything and permitted to witness nothing. When the undying Pharaoh asks for her name, the most dangerous thing in the Forsaken empire happens: someone at the bottom is noticed by the one at the top.
