Tiyet eats Khamose's heart

The seminal event that brought the formation of Sebua occurred in 564 BC. After learning that her husband Khamose discovered her adultery, [[Tiyet fled to her lover Zordenahkt and pleaded with him to kill her and perform the ritual of immortality through mummification. He refused, so she took her own life with a dagger. Only then did Zordenahkt perform the profane ritual on her, removing her heart and placing it in a canopic jar filled with oil. When he completed the ritual, he consumed poison and died right next to her.

Tiyet awoke the next evening to find Zordenahkt beside her. She was then compelled to return to her palace home, where she heard the beating hearts of every resident -- Khamose's being the loudest and most identifiable. She removed his heart while he was still alive and consumed it, which ended the sound of beating hearts in her mind. She stole away back to Zordenahkt and returned to a slumber. When she awoke, Zordenakht was gone and the surroundings alien to her. She had been transported to Ravenloft, far from her original kingdom and time, and she became the lord of Sebua.
