Necho (pronounced NEH-cho) was a king of Khapesh, ruling during the Age of Expansion from Y4568* to Y4624*. His reign was marked by a great expansion of the desert kingdom, including the conquest of the Taseti Coast up to the Tela River in the north and the Lakes of False Promises in the east.
Necho was greatly interested in massive construction projects that would demonstrate the power of Khapesh, some of which have survived to the present day. He ordered the raising of the fortresses of Abednego, Meshach, and Shadrach, located around the Bay of Ammit. Today these fortifications are occupied by Nabopolassar's Host, and are in good enough condition that they continue to be used. Necho also ordered a canal to be dug across the eastern Red Lands, connecting the Aur River near Sile to the Salt Coast. Though this project never saw completion, the remains of almost one hundred miles of the canal are still visible in some parts of the desert.
Exploration was another keen interest of Necho, and the king sponsored many expeditions across the Sangora Desolation and out into the Chaska and Kilche seas. After personally joining a voyage to map the southern reaches of the Aur River in Y4624*, Necho was presumed deceased when the explorers failed to ever return.
