(Regarded) Dusk Divinity Anubis

Lore[]

Anubis judges the sins of the dead when they reach the underworld, but also has the power over the pharaohs she turned into immortal mummies in the past. They gladly serve as her vanguard to repay the favors she has given them. She smiles at her legion of loyal minions. "The time has come to claim the sun for my own. Then I shall scorch the world with my favored twilight."

Name Origin[]

Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves, Anubis was also an embalmer. Anubis was replaced by Osiris in his role as Lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized both rebirth and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming.
