- 7 Common Tree Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 7 Common Water Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 7 Common Thorn Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 7 Common Herb Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 7 Common Livestock Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 7 Common Crop Dwelling Insects (to be identified by Pharaoh)
- 10 wood
- 10 candles
- 10 royal jelly

One Ceremonial bonfire per player per game night. Maximum of 2 Ceremonial bonfires per Humble Priest altar. Visually a Ceremonial Bonfire looks the same as a regular 25 wood bonfire. At any time during the night players may add as many herb types as desired. Maximum of 3 deben per herb is permitted. Prior to passing the test, a player cannot build a Ceremonial Bonfire outside the 20 coord radius of a Humble Priest altar and cannot light a Ceremonial Bonfire.
The Herbs
The herbs hold a balance of sweetness which has been known to attract both insects and the spirit of Khonsu. For this reason, it is imperative for Egyptians to know the herbs and the manner in which each interacts with each other. Failure to understand the quality of herb added to a bonfire may cost an Egyptian the favor of Khonsu. Herb characteristics can be obtained by smoking the herb in a hookah.
Scoring
At 6AM Khonsu lights all bonfires (including regular bonfires) with 20 coords of all Humble Priest altar and tallies the score. The scoring is a follows: for every "positive" attribute (example: scent of lavender) 2 points are awarded. For every "negative" attribute (example: Taste of Camel dung) 1 point is deducted. The top 3 players with the highest score advances.
Ceremonial Bonfires
Ceremonial Bonfires resemble a regular 25 wood bonfire and are built through the test menu. The ceremonial bonfire will burn like normal 25 wood bonfires but won't produce charcoal until the player has passed the test. The cost to build a Ceremonial Bonfires is:
- 10 wood
- 50 royal jelly
- 2 insects
After the Ceremonial Bonfires are built. Players may add herbs to the bonfire to increase (or decrease) the attention of the spirit of Khonsu.
Rewards

Permanent perception points can be obtained from any source. After the Ceremonial bonfire has burnt, it will leave behind a pail of charcoal. The player has the option of taking the charcoal or taking the insects. The type of insects attracted will be dependent on the terrain in the immediate area. Ceremonial bonfires built in areas without flora will attract ground dwelling insects. Ceremonial bonfires built near water will attract water dwelling insects. The priority of insects attracted is:
- Herb
- Crop
- Livestock
- Thorn
- Tree
- Water
- Ground
Players will receive 1 perception point per advance. Herbs or herb combinations with a 2:1 positive to negative ration attract twice as many insects as other bonfires.
