House Takhat

House Takhat of Hamunaptra is a Court House, being involved in the Pharaoh's Court since Tutankhamun's Age, when Takhat became a member of his council. Their seat is at Hamunaptra in Khalem on Per-Takhat. The patriarch or matriarch of the family receive the title "Neb Takhat of Hamunaptra" or "Nebet Takhat of Hamunaptra" if it is a female, as well as their consorts. Although, House Takhat is considered a matriarchy, where women hold more legitimacy than men.

Their symbol as a Court House is a pair of crossed daggers.

Their patron deity is Ma'at, goddess of divine order, justice, and truth.

The First Clan
After the creation of Auron and Ket, the Netjeru created Five Clans from each of the Five Stars and put them in different parts of the world, giving them the order to reach the heart of the world. Years passed after the Valley of Khalem began to fill with humankind, when each of the Clans arrived at the Ben-Ben one by one, where they kneeled before Auron and Ket.

The First Clan was the first to reach Ben-Ben, and knelt before Auron and Ket. It is noted in history that the tradition of matriarchy from House Takhat was born from the culture of their ancestors of the First Clan, who saw females as leaders.

Takhat
Seven centuries later, when the first Pharaoh, Tutankhamun I, was crowned as one, a member of each Clan joined the Pharaoh's Court to give council to the Pharaoh. Takhat was the candidate of the descendants of the First Clan to become a Nebet; the only woman among the Nebtu.

Takhat was the creator of the Laws of Men, to later be imposed by Tutankhamun I in the inhabitants of Khalem. Her kin would later identify her name as their family's name, and so House Takhat of Hamunaptra was born.
