Jeff :

> The problem with the term "Pharaoh" is it carries WAY too much baggage. Belintar does not look Egyptian. Not at all. He is the Stranger, the God-King, and not "the Great House". God-King says everything the title needs and does not imply Belintar wearing a loincloth and a fake beard.

OK, but I *bet* that one of him had a fake beard, and enjoyed wearing his loincloth and sandals, and ordered people to make pyramids for some weird and mysterious "purpose" :D

What I *don't* like is the rampant and unjustified egyptisation in some of the fan-made iconography :(
