The Medjay are a nomadic group of desert warriors in [[Kemhet]]. They work for the Kemheti government and enforce the law across the great deserts. Their duties often call them to patrol the borders of Kemhet and neighboring lands, such as [[Deshret]] and [[Parsanshar]], and they even work to keep the accursed abominations of [[The Wastes|the Wastes]] in check, trying to prevent them from encroaching near civilization or trade routes. Law enforcement officers, monster hunters, and guardians of tombs and all things ancient, the Medjay are a relatively small and extremely elite order comprised of peoples from all the Southron lands and even the [[Desert Dwarves]], with contingents ranging from five to a dozen or more riders patrolling all reaches of Kemhet's vast deserts.

−
−	~~==History==~~
−	Though no one knows precisely when the Medjay were founded, they have always been a part of Kemheti culture. Initially serving as mercenaries for Kemhet and largely hailing from foreign lands, they eventually became an order serving directly under the rulers of Kemhet itself. After the death of the first pharaoh who treated them as his personal guard, they began to closely watch over his tomb and eventually took up the mantle of protectors of the Kemheti dead. Today, they also serve other more mysterious and varied purposes. They are never ones to share the nature of their duties or how they operate, except with their own.
−
−	~~==Purpose==~~
−	The Medjay serve many purposes across the deserts. Firstly, they watch over the resting places of the dead and will battle and even kill those who attempt to rob or in any other way disturb tombs, especially tombs of Kemheti royalty and priests. Secondly, they guard the deserts themselves and preserve peace and order, enforcing the law in regions that may otherwise be considered lawless, even wandering between the smaller Kemheti towns to assist local watchmen while also watching over important trade routes. Thirdly, they watch over the borders of the [[Blasted Wastes]] and prevent the many abominations there from entering any civilized lands. Fourthly and finally, they directly oppose the [[Zharduvari]] wherever they may find them.
−
−	The duties of the Medjay often call them to patrol the borders of Kemhet and neighboring lands such as the more lawless [[Deshret]] and even the borders of the empire of [[Parsanshar]]. Generally, the tribes of Deshret tolerate them, though the [[Redsail Corsairs]] and others frequently cross blades with the Medjay. They are often treated reasonably well in Parsanshar, where they are known to represent the Kemheti government and to be important figures of safeguarding trade and travel, though some Parsanshari look down on them as savages for their desert-dwelling ways.
−
−	~~==Structure==~~
−	The Medjay are not a rigidly structured order, but they do maintain an oft-criticized sort of rank and file. Groups of Medjay vary in size from five to a dozen or more riders. The order is not as large as it used to be, though enemies of Kemhet hear tell that there are still enough Medjay across all of Kemhet to come together as a great and coordinated army, if the need were to ever arise, which strikes great fear into the hearts of any who would oppose them. The Medjay employ only fierce, hard, dedicated, and cunning individuals; an army of them would be composed of some of the most fearsome warriors in the realm.
−
−	Unlike some orders, the Medjay are not exclusive, basing their membership only on ability rather than bloodline or birthplace. They have many foreigners among their number and even many [[Desert Dwarves]]; in addition to these Southern-dwelling dwarves, though the Medjay are primarily composed of Kemheti people, they also frequently see members from the neighboring lands of [[Deshret]], [[Parsanshar]], and even some individuals from [[Axa]], as well as the occasional - though rare - [[Achaean]]. The Medjay do not generally have women among their number, particularly given their hard lifestyle, but they are not opposed should one prove herself; thus, there is the very occasional woman among the Medjay.
−
−	Every group of Medjay has one [[channeler]] among their number and is led by a Captain, often the channeler himself, who generally designates a second-in-command. It is not uncommon for a Medjay group to have at least one priest in their number, as well, often a priest of [[Anubis]].
−
−	~~==Void Iron and Channelers==~~
−	Since they sometimes find themselves battling [[Warlock\|warlocks]] and [[Mage\|mages]], the Medjay have many ancient ways to oppose these beings. Thought to be much older than the [[Inquisition]] of the [[Achaean Empire]] but similar in some ways, the Medjay possess some weapons and even some armor made of [[void iron]] from their close allies and frequent companions, the Desert Dwarves. However, they do not have standardized sets of armor as does the Inquisition.
−
−	More frequently than full suits of void iron armor, the Medjay employ the use of channelers to stand up against magic. However, as the process of becoming a channeler is extremely difficult, taxing, and rarely even survived, their channelers are also very few in number.

 A requirement to become a Medjay is to wholly dedicate oneself to the preservation of Kemhet and civilization itself, as well as the protection of tombs from thieves, meddlers, and mages, and the prevention of dark magic. Law enforcement officers, monster hunters, and guardians of tombs and all things ancient, the Medjay are a relatively small and extremely elite order comprised of peoples from all the Southron lands and even the [[Desert Dwarves]], with contingents ranging from five to a dozen or more riders patrolling all reaches of Kemhet's vast deserts. They often oppose the [[Zhar]].
