Anubis

(a.k.a. Judge of the Dead)

Anubis appears as a male human. A neat mane of straight black hair falls over his shoulders. He dresses in a white knee-length kilt, a decorative scale mail breastplate of glittering gold, and a number of bracers and armbands. He typically carries either a scepter or a true ankh. He can use his Shift Form ability to take on the form of a jackal.

Tenets of Faith

Anubis guides the souls of dead mortals to the halls of judgment, supervises their weighing on the scales of Ma'at, and protects them on their journey. In addition, he guards cemeteries from grave robbers and other defilers. Anubis helped his mother Nephthys and his aunt Isis mummify Osiris (his father), applying his knowledge of herbs and medicines. He is also a keeper of magical knowledge, particularly that related to necromancy. Despite his knowledge of necromancy, he does not condone animating or controlling undead creatures, with the exception of mummies established as tomb guardians.   Followers of Anubis practice rigorous disciplines to hone their minds and spirits, preparing themselves for the eventual journey to the afterlife. The Judge of the Dead has few devotees, but he is often worshiped at funerals, where his clerics typically officiate.  

Clergy and Temples

Anubis's clerics are few and not especially popular, except insofar as they help people deal with grief after someone dies. Not all of them perpetuate the stereotype of the gaunt, dour, intimidating mortician, but enough of them do that the stereotype remains valid.   Anubis's temples are always located next to cemeteries and follow the general layout of most Pharaonic temples. They are funeral chapels, embalming centers, and guarded repositories of sacred and magical knowledge.

History

Though the two deities are half-brothers, incest is not a concept that exists amongst the Pharaonic deities, since almost all of the deities are related in some way. Horus and Anubis were not raised together and had always considered themselves lovers before siblings. In fact, it wasn't until after their relationship formed that they found out about their shared father. They decided that such a thing did not matter and continued the relationship.

Shared Secrets

Their relationship, while known to certain deities, is not known to all and is never known to mortals. This is to protect its sanctity. Horus doesn't want anybody using his relationship with Anubis as ammunition to attack him. Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Thoth are the only deities who know about this relationship.
