Ancient Egyptian Horus Relic... and The Sphinx!November 1, 2010 4:50 PM
Hello citizens. The first of November has arrived and with it is the last in our wonderful Ancient Egyptian Relics series! This month when you complete your Loyalty tasks, you will earn the very last item and you'll be able to display your set of three fantastic Egyptian relics.
You could also take your set of three relics to the Combobulator Laboratory and transform them into something really fantastic. This month is the end of the current series which means that we have an Egyptian treasure for you.
Ancient Egyptian Horus RelicThe god Horus is one of the most famous gods of ancient Egypt. The name Horus stems from the ancient Egyptian word hr (her) which in its simple form was the word for "above" and "upon" so Horus the falcon soars above all the land and its inhabitants, and was the natural symbol of the King who reigns over all Egypt.
Horus may have been known in many forms, but he was always associated with the falcon. In almost all variations, Horus was known as the patron saint of the existing pharaoh and in fact the pharaoh was often referred to as the 'Living Horus'.
Make sure you complete your Loyalty tasks in November so that you don't miss out on this fantastic Egyptian relic!
Loyalty Reward Item: The SphinxCitizens, I think this is one of the best Loyalty reward items yet! This incredible looking Sphinx doorway is going to add a real "pharaohs tomb" look to your space. And a great thing about this is that you can choose to use it as a doorway, as a turret, or both!
You can nominate a destination to use the Sphinx as a doorway / portal.
You can also set an interaction on the Sphinx to shoot people walking past. A purple blast will shoot from the head of the snake in the head of the Sphinx, and the unsuspecting victim will be engulfed in a purple haze. It's a great effect - and I love that my Sphinx has so much functionality!
To get your own golden Sphinx just complete all your Loyalty Challenge tasks for November, complete your set of three Egyptian relics and pay a visit to the Combobulator Laboratory.
