The House of Life, also known as the Per Ankh, is an organization of Egyptian demigods. In ancient times, each temple in Egypt had a branch called the House of Life. They could perform amazing feats via their abilities and could call upon the power of the gods. In modern times, the organization has become global and operates out of three-hundred and sixty nomes worldwide. The House is primarily operated in the First Nome, specifically the remains of the ancient city Heliopolis. Young demigods are trained here, acting as the House's 'operators'. At age thirteen, they are assigned to a specific nome and typically leave the city. The Chief Lector of the House of Life also resides within Heliopolis, sitting at the foot of the pharaoh's empty throne.
The Nome for our purposes is the 21st, and is located in New York. It's up the East River and to a normal human it looks like an industrial yard filled with piles of scrap metal and old construction equipment. In the center, they see a huge factory warehouse heavily painted with graffiti with the windows boarded up. Really, there is a five story mansion perched on the roof that is only seen by those with a deity's blood. It is at least fifty feet tall, built of large limestone blocks and steel-framed windows. There are hieroglyphs engraved around the windows and the walls were lit up so the place looked like a cross between a modern museum and an ancient temple. You have to use your abilities to enter the House of Life.
