Amahté-Baki

Amahté-Baki is an Ancient. She is an enormous Sphinx that lives beneath the Giza Plateau in Egypt, near the great pyramids. Like the Sphinxes of history, she required Morgan to solve a riddle before she would help her in her quest.

Description
Amahté-Baki is catlike, with golden fur and skin. When Morgan first encountered her, she thought she was looking at a statue of pure gold.

Riddle
Amahté-Baki's riddle is simple, yet complex.

"Rivers without water;

Forests without trees;

Mountains without rocks;

Towns without people;

What am I?"

The answer is, of course, a map, which is exactly what Morgan and her allies had gone to the Ancient to seek.
