| rdfs:comment | - Sphinxes were the traditional enemies of centaurs. When contact with the Tin Isle was lost, and Centaurs were no longer able to import tin and thus to alloy copper into bronze, the sphinxes enjoyed a significant military advantage. They pressed this advantage and won a major victory over their foes in Asia Minor. This victory prompted the Centaurs to realize the severity of the crisis to which their tin shortage subjected them, and to mount several expeditions to attempt to secure sources of the metal.
- The Sphinxes quest is the second of the two starter quests available to all new players in Ankhet. While the other quest, the Gauntlet, focuses on combat, this quest focuses on the answering of enigmas. If these enigmas are answered correctly, they will provide favour and, for Hathors, anima. If the enigmas are not answered correctly, vitality will occasionally be taken by the Sphinxes.
