While traveling through the desert in the Sinking Sands I was attacked by a desert madman. On his body I found a piece of parchment that was falling apart. On the parchment was a drawing of a strange being near an altar. There were also characters written on the parchment. Unfortunately, I have no idea what any of this means. I should attempt to find out more about the madmen and this piece of parchment. I may be able to find a desert expert in Maj'Dul.
I have found a man named Planetologist Ahkar. He explained a little about the potential meanings of the parchment and suggested I look for a man named Harshaa, who roams the desert in the Sinking Sands.
I found Harshaa in the dunes near the Twin Tears in the Sinking Sands. Shortly after I began talking to him we were attacked by several desert madmen. I must defeat any enemies that attack Harshaa, so that he will feel safe speaking with me.
I have eliminated the desert madmen attacking Harshaa. I should see if he will tell me more about the parchment now.
After defeating the men attacking Harshaa, he explained the drawing on the parchment to me. He says it is a picture of an ancient ceremony that calls The Prophet of the desert. Apparently, the crazed men who roam the desert worship the prophet and his promise.
I have killed The Prophet of the desert. I can now return to Harshaa and put his mind at ease. Hopefully, he will then tell me more about this strange cult and what is really going on out here.
I examined the altar and it is indeed enchanted. I felt the overwhelming urge to stay in this place. Luckily, my mind is not torn by the ravages of hunger and thirst like the madmen who are drawn here. In addition to being enchanted the altar depicts scenes of a large army and a great leader. The writing on the altar is the same as the writing on the parchment.
I returned to Harshaa and explained what happened with The Prophet and the altar. He is acting very strange and refuses to speak to me. It seems something to do with the altar has spooked him.
I told Ahkar of all the events that have taken place and everything that Harshaa has told me. Ahkar said there were legends of an army that once ruled this desert land long before recorded history. Unfortunately, he knew very little of the legend. He did mention that recently there was a group Qeynosian archaeologists, who were attacked by pirates, that unearthed a strange weapon and several artifacts from around the same time period as this army was supposed to exist.
I found the pirates that robbed the Qeynosian archaeologists. I searched, but could find no sign of the artifacts. There were several large crates waiting to be loaded onto their ship, so I stowed myself in one and now I am aboard the Samiel pirate ship.
I found the key to the chest on Lieutenant Kielmal.
I have taken the artifacts from the Samiel pirate ship.
I took the artifacts to Ahkar. He was able to decipher the engravings on a scepter that was among the artifacts. He says it is the name "Rahotep." Ahkar says that the name means nothing to him and I should return home to one of the great libraries to attempt to find out more information. He promised that he would also do some research to help figure out the meaning of this name.
I found a librarian who told me a great deal about what was once the Desert of Ro and the history of Rahotep. He also told me of a great scepter that Rahotep was fabled to wield. I believe the scepter I retrieved may be the Scepter of Rahotep.
I need to take the piece of Rahotep's armor to Planetologist Ahkar in Maj'Dul. Ahkar will then re-enchant the Scepter of Rahotep for me.
My army and I have destroyed Rahotep and his legions. I was also able to retrieve a piece of Rahotep's armor to take to Ahkar.
I returned to Ahkar. He took the piece of Rahotep's armor and began chanting in a very strange tongue. There was a bright flash of light and then Ahkar presented the Scepter of Rahotep to me. It is a very powerful weapon from a very ancient time.I have faced many trials and learned a great deal about the Legend of Rahotep and his scepter. I have defeated Rahotep to retrieve an item of his that was used to re-enchant his scepter. I now am the owner of the powerful Scepter of Rahotep.

Every time I "hit" the pirate chest it transports me to the pirate ship and then bounces me back to the desert. Says I need a "key". Where is the key to be found? Thanks

Take a lvl 55 or higher Necro with your group - they have a Charm spell that works on any "undead", like Rahoteps legions,, so let the Necro charm one mob in each of the waves during the fight, then everyone in the party can regen power between the waves. Once regenned, let the necro drop the Charm, kill just the one zombie, then repeat on the next wave.
Won't work on the last wave though, killing the beetles first is probably the way to go at that point. Unless you have a mez class mage with you... then it should all be a cake-walk.
Good luck!

Go to the area in Pillars of Flame called Prophets Peak (kinda makes sense, eh?) and kill the lunatics and madmen there by the tents. There is a named that will spawn there also. Be sure to run around the area too as the Prophets Peak carpet is in that area, as well as some Discovery XP...

Just to post this in case anyone else has to suffer the pick up group with no organization and insane stubbornness. You will not get credit for Rahotep kill if done with more than two groups :)
Should be obvious to most of us but then there are the few who will not listen to reason and continue inviting people to the raid.

Ok did today all the waves duoing with 70 necro and 70 mystic, fighter pet.
Pretty easy if u root last mob to let pet regen power.
BUT Rahotep still epic so death eheh.
AH need ubah power regen on healer + manastone+canni cap.
Think it's trioable with any 70 tank.

Don't know if this is mentioned (I didn't see it), but Rahotep does a full heal once the first time you get him to about 50% hp. It was a bit of a shock. =:o

Spent nearly 2hrs killing the 4 mobs around the alter individually. No prophet spawn. Then decided to kill all 4 mobs at once. In doing that the Prophet mob spawned. It took 2 attempts at killing all 4 mobs to get the actual Prophet to spawn so dont get too disheartened if he desnt pop first time. Hope this info is of help to others who have been struggling.
No amount of staying far back will keep your single group from getting low / out of power.
The mobs auto rush you leaving no time to regen.
Breaking an encounter will break the event as well.
You need good power regen in the group.
2 furies, 1 50 ranger, 1 55 paladin, and 59 conj couldnt do this.

Anyone know if there's a Librarian in Kelethin? I switched residency from Q to Kele and now the Q librarian won't update the quest for me (he will talk to me, my Q faction is 5000/indifferent) and I can't find a librarian in Kelethin. So I'm stuck on the speak to the librarian step before Rahotep.

Hmmm, I think that's why SOE have made the parchment easier to get, as there have been many-a-times when I have killed lunatics or prophets in PoF and they have dropped it.
After spending ages in SS trying to get the damned thing, I actually did go to a broker and buy it only to go to PoF later and find it drops quite frequently >:(

Interesting note on the parchment you need to start quest...You can trade the parchment after examining it to another person and they can examine it and get the quest and they can trade to someone else who can get the quest..It sure beats tryin to spawn the paper for a whole group..Thats how I got my starter a friend gave it to me and then I gave it to a guildie and we've been passin it around..enjoy =)

I found a "A Piece of Ancient Parchment" on a lunatic in PoF yesterday. Didn't kill more than 20 before it dropped.

We finished this fight on the second attempt, as the first time we evacuated as we were OOP. We noticed that Rahotep was drawing health from the beatles and then healing them, so in our 2nd attempt we killed the beatles immediately and then focused on Rahotep.
Our strategy was pretty straight forward.
(1)Leave a single ^ mob from each of the first four waves to regen any needed power (mostly not necessary)
(2)kill the beatles with Rahotep first
(3)focus on Rahotep using as many interrupts as possbile to prevent warding and healing.
We killed him with 5 level 60 toons with no legendary and barely and adept III amongst us. His health is not the issue, but more so his ability to ward quickly.
60 toons: Guardian, Bruiser, Defiler, Fury, and Dirge.

When spawning Rahotep you need to organize the raid far away from the spawn location. Earlier today when raiding him someone got close before anyone else was around and spawned him. After he died Rhaotep will depop fast and then it's a 2-3 hour wait. Was 2.5 hours for me last night.
The key is to assemble the raid east of his position on the edge of the tear close to the tents. When your ready send the MT and 1 quest holder to his spawn point.
The Rahotep NPC will appear breifly, depop, then repop along with his army. His NPC will not be up after 2 hours. He pops on proximity, so you'll have no idea when the timer is up unless you get close and just spawn him.
If he dosent pop, "back off" and retry every 10-15 mins or so. Camping on his spawn point will get alot of people 1-shotted unless your raiding him with upper levels.
The worst part of this quest is not knowing for sure when his event will be avaliable. Could be 15 mins since he was last poped or 3 hours. :(

Zeddelin makes spawning the Prophet sound easier than it is. Perhaps he got lucky, but the usual is a series of kills, repeated all around the altar, until the Prophet appears. Could take one round, but more likely to take several. Prepare for a camp...

uummmmm... it says in my quest journal that the personal statis reward is 32000 or something like that.

This part is pretty quick, just kill the 4 groups of lunatics, and the Prophet spawns.
