Narmer (pronounced NAR-mer), commonly known as Narmer the Conqueror, was the quasi-mythical first king of Khapesh who brought together the separate small kingdoms and city states along the Aur River into a unified nation sometime around Y2300*. Contrary to the name given to him by later historians, evidence points to the unification as a mostly diplomatic effort, not borne of conflict. Little is recorded about Narmer otherwise, and he quickly passes out of the historical record following the unification of Khapesh.
