People's names and their meanings
Ramesses III was Usermaatre-Meryamun Rameses-Heqaiunu, meaning "The Ma'at of Ra is strong, Beloved of Amun, Born of Ra, Ruler of Heliopolis". For this campaign, we'll amend the translation slightly to "Bringer of Ra's Order, Truth and Justice, Beloved of Amun, Born of Ra and Ruler of Heliopolis".
Ramesses II was Usermaatre Setepenre, which we'll translate as Bringer of Ra's Truth and Justice, the Chosen of Ra.
Isis-Ta-hemseret - Great King's Wife of Ramesses III and mother of Ramesses IV and Meryatum
Tiye - a noted beauty, the king's eye is upon her. Since nothing is known of her parentage, we'll make her daughter of Paser (mayor of Thebes) and his wife Tity
Meryatum , beloved of the creator Atum, servant of the Egdoad - newly appointed Greatest of Seers of Ra at Iunu (aka The Pillars, aka Heliopolis). The previous First Prophet died suddenly about a month ago. This sudden death is seen as a bad omen. Ramesses appointed his 14 year old second son to this important position over the protests of other senior priests. Senior prophet Rahotep serves as Meryatum's right hand.
Habalidjat - Queen ?
Pre-hir-womnef - First King's Son of His Majesty, Charioteer of the Great Stable of Ramesses III, bodily King's Son
Khaemwaset - King's Son, Setem-priest of Ptah, Lort of Ankhtawy, Fanbearer on the King's Right Hand
Amenhirkopshef - King's Son, Superintendent of Horse, priest of Tanenet
Sethirkopshef - King's Son, First Charioteer
The first five names below come from Ramesses III, the Life and Times of Egypt's Last Hero
Hori (who we'll call Hori of the Great Land) - Vizier of upper Egypt. First appointed under Seti II, served under Siptah and Tausret, Setnakht and now under Ramesses III. For our purposes, we will set the date of Hori's first appointment as vizier to 1197 BCE in the final year of Seti II's reign, so he has been vizier 19 years and is a relatively old man (approximately 50 years old). Hori (II) was the son of the High Priest of Ptah Hori I and the grandson of Prince Khaemweset. And hence a direct descendant of Pharaoh Ramesses II.[2]
Hori, son of Kama - Vizier of Nubia, first appointed in year 6 of Siptah, continued through Tausret and Setnakht and now serves Ramesses. He's a bit younger than Hori of the Great Land
Bakenkhonsu - First Prophet of Amun at Thebes. Bakenkhons is a "king's man", appointed by Setnakht from outside to keep the powerful priests of Amun under royal control. There is some resentment at this appointment from his underpriests and among high priests of other nearby cults. Name translates to "Servant of Khonsu", an interesting choice for the high priest of Amun. (references)
Amenemopet - retired military general, father of Bakenkhonsu, appointed by Bakenkhonsu as overseer of the workforce of the temple of Amun at Thebes
Merybast - chief taxing master, based in Khemenu (aka Hermopolis)
Paser - mayor of Thebes, for the campaign we presume he is the father of Tiye
Tity - wife of Paser, mother of Tiye
Paser - lector priest (spellcaster).
Penhuybin - Superintendent of Cattle, possibly royal, possibly for a temple
Iyernutef - a Priest of Ptah
Amennakht - Scribe of the Royal Tomb
To - Vizier of upper Egypt, city governor of Swenett (Aswan). To was probably governor of a more significant city;
The harem conspiracy that killed Ramesses III takes place more than two decades after the events of the current campaign. Some of the officials listed here likely haven't been born yet, others won't be appointed to their posts for some years. However, we may choose to anachronistically use some of the names and positions listed, partly for want of information about prior appointees to the same positions.
