## The Story
The Sphynxes have been in peaceful slumber for the last 8,888 millennia. When they entered their slumber, the Chain was at the height of its peace and prosperity – infinite wealth and leisure had permeated society following The Great Pharoah's discovery of Eternal Life within the Book of Life.
Now, the Sphynxes have ended their slumber by celebrating the awakening of the Bridge – the path between Chains. But, upon awakening, the Sphynxes have found their Chain in shambles – ravaged by Rug Doctors, bloodthirsty Bears, and heartless Devs.
The Sphynxes have set out to restore their Chain to affluence and glory and navigate the Bridge to bring peace and security to the other realms within the Web3 Multi-verse.
