Anubis is the Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. 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.
Followers of Anubis practice rigorous disciplines to hone their minds and spirits, preparing themselves for the eventual journey to the afterlife. Anubis's clerics are few and not especially popular, given their close association with funerals and the necropolis (graveyard).
Vestments
Male clerics of Anubis shave their heads while female clerics wear their hair long. They dress in white robes. Most of Anubis's clerics are male.
Temples
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.
We stand to protect those that have died. We prepare the dead for their journey to the land of the dead, where they must be weighed and measured. For the living, prepare thyself, for there will be a time to be judged - your actions measured and your worth tallied.
Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized regeneration, life, the soil of the Nile River, and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is portrayed with a dog or jackal's head, but with grey or white fur. 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.
Anubis is associated with his brother Wepwawet, another Egyptian god portrayed with a dog's head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur (historians assume that the two figures were eventually combined). Anubis' female counterpart is Anput. His daughter is the serpent goddess Kebechet. His parents are Set (Seth) and ‎Nephthys.
