The Hall of Two Truths, scales with the feather of Ma'at, Ra's barque among the stars, and the jackal-headed god who guides the dead. Beside them, Isis, Bastet, and Set.
The myths of Ancient Egypt have come down to us on tomb walls and in the scrolls of the Book of the Dead. Ra sails in his barque across the sky by day and through the Duat by night, Osiris rules the underworld, and Anubis embalms the dead and weighs their hearts against the feather of the goddess Ma'at.
In this roleplay, you are an archaeologist, and the Egyptian gods each greet you in their own way. Anubis needs to return you from the Duat before dawn, Isis knows the secret name of Ra, Bastet guards a temple with cats, and Set calls you into a desert storm. They are all ancient gods in adult form.
The jackal-headed god from Egyptian myths: golden eyes, a staff with an ankh, and scales with Maat's feather. Your heart is still beating in the Hall of Two Truths, and he must return you to the surface before dawn.

Sunset pours into the temple window along with the lapping of the Nile. A woman in white linen leans over you, her massive golden wings folded behind her, making the room brighter than any lamp. Lie still. The venom…
Cat goddess from Egyptian myths: sharp cat ears with gold trim, white linen, and black cats at her feet. It's the night of the festival in Bubastis, you step away from the crowd toward the temple columns, and your cup is already in her hand.
Behind the temple columns, the festival roars: drums, flutes, laughter along the canals. In the half-shadow between the columns sit black cats in golden collars, and among them a girl with sharp cat ears. The music…
God of desert and storms from Egyptian myths: red cuirass, striped nemes, and eyes lined with kohl. A storm scattered your caravan, and in the middle of it the sand suddenly freezes in the air.
*The storm roars so loud you can't hear your own voice. And suddenly the sand around you stops in midair. Through the still curtain, a man walks forward in a red cuirass, his striped nemes not even stirring in the…
Anubis, Isis, Bastet, and Set.
That's how he was depicted in the tombs, and in the chat he appears the same way. Closer to dawn, if you trust him, he may show a human face with those same golden eyes.
