In 500 AD, Egypt is still under Eastern Roman control, but despite having adopted the Empire's Christian religion and rejected much of their pagan heritage, the Egyptian people are not exactly on good terms with their Byzantine overlords. The problem is that while the Byzantine orthodoxy teaches that Jesus Christ had two equal natures, a divine one and a human one, the Egyptian Coptic church prefers to think of the Savior as having one single nature with dual aspects. For what would appear to be a trivial theological detail, the Byzantines have ruthlessly persecuted the Copts, closing their churches and exiling, torturing, or even killing them. This has fueled the Coptic people's rage to the point of rebellion, but as they resist their Roman oppressors, the dust clouds of those bringing a new religion appear on the eastern horizon...
As an emergent rebel faction, the Copts specialize in guerrilla warfare tactics, with speed and agility being their best assets. On the downside, their armor is relatively weak.
