This is just some basic info about the realm...
The name is from a city made in ancient Egypt for the god Aten, he is a form of Ra, the sun god. I thought this was an interesting name so I took it, yay me. He was named god of gods during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV. He tried to make a monotheistic religion called Atenism, after his death they tried to cover up the fact he ever was a pharaoh by erasing his name off the list literally, because this was looked as heresy.
Just some interesting information. In no way do I want to make us a realistic reenactment of Egyptian life or culture, mainly just a Egyptian basis, with whatever we want to add. Stargate did it, why cant I.

xD Holy christ on a cracker...xD; Man this is going to kick some major ass, Skizzy all spray tanned and with eyeliner...xD Man. We almost found your WHOLE costume in one crappy halloween store too! Lol.
But seriously, This is a great idea, I've never seen another Egyptian based Dag group out there, and I've always wondered why not, you know?

I think to go a bit more fantasy you can use things like conan the barbarians stygia to get a reason for orcs and the like rember we egyptians practice dark magics and it's not like we can't get us some orcs and such in our realm, I mean we just can't sca this we got to play on myths and legends as well as facts then it will be a party.
By the way the dress code for this party is tuxedo t shirts becuse it says I'm formal but I still like to party.
