First Intermediate Period (Part III): Khety versus Intef.
After years of intermittent conflict and sparring, the time has come for a final showdown between the competing royal families of the North and South. In one corner, the House of Khety holds the North, supported by their vassals at Asyut. In the other corner, the House of Intef flexes its muscle, gathers its resources, and tries to break the line.
