Curse

Allegiance

Creatures living within 10 miles or spend 7 days in the area develop a strong sense of loyalty and love for the mummy lords chosen people and deity.

Monument Surveillance

Within 3 miles, the mummy lord can choose to see and hear through any statue or monument depicting itself, its blood descendants, or a symbol of the nation or deity associated with the mummy lord, such as the statue of the monarchys griffon insignia or a carved monument depicting the deitys holy symbol.

Mummys Curse

Objects within 1 mile of and that belong to the mummy lord carry a powerful curse. A creature that takes such an object without the mummy lords permission becomes permanently cursed. While cursed, the creature ages twice as quickly, requires 12 hours to finish a long rest instead of 8, and has disadvantage on death saves. The creature remains cursed even if it no longer has the object, and reach creature after the first that holds or carries the object for at least 24 hours also becomes cursed. The curse automatically ends on all creatures if the object is returned to within 1 mile of the mummy lords lair. The curse can be suppressed for 24 hours by a remove curse spell.

My additional ruling, the curse also ends if the creature dies for any length of time.

If the mummy lord dies these effects fade in 1d10 days.
