Gods and ‘Protectors’ of Egypt.

[Anubis.]

GODS of EGYPT
HORUS: The God of the Kings on Earth, Horus is—in Egyptian mythology—the patron to the pharaohs. However, since this is a horse role-playing game, he has a slightly different role. As King of the Lights, Horus can mainly be found at Thebes—where most of the light horses dwell—as well as at Wadi el-Muluk, the Valley of Kings (and where the other Gods, plus himself, chill out when they’ve got nothing better to do).
    Protector and Guardian of Thebes, he oversees the herd’s general well-being and, as a rule of thumb, is a firm believer in fair judgement and honesty. Being a chivalrous and noble creature, the God is apparently perfect, but, as always, it isn’t necessarily true.

ANUBIS: In Egyptian mythology, Anubis is the God of Embalming, Guide and Friend to the Dead. As stated above, this is a horse role-playing game, and so the roles are twisted slightly. Because of his place in the mythology that Egypt is built around, he is the Protector of the Wastelands—sacred place of the Magi—and the King of the Neutrals. Why? I hear you ask, and the answer is quite simple. He dithers in between Death and Life—Evil and Good—so who better to be the Neutral King than the God who happens to be on both sides?
    Although he’s mostly found in the Wastelands, from time to time, Anubis can be found at Wadi el-Muluk. Discreet and quite often seen as mysterious, he doesn’t like to take sides or get involved with anything that could be particularly harrowing and stressful. Like Horus, he has his secrets, because not every God is as rosy as they make out to be.

SET: The Ancient Egyptians turned him from the God of Storms to the God of Evil, and no one knows why. Cunning and highly intelligent, Set spends his time at Hamunaptra—City of the Dead—where he tends to corrupt the minds of the herd that live there, and whether that’s for a reason or sheer entertainment, it’s difficult to tell. He’s the Protector of Hamunaptra, and happens to be the King of the Darks, which he believes should be changed to King of Egypt—but no matter.
    Anyone who has ever heard the legend of Osiris, Set and Horus knows the vengeance that hangs between Set and Horus, almost like a thread. And, anyone familiar with the typical lightvsdark setting that we have will also know the hatred between the two alliances. Now they have a reason to hate each other—the killing of Osiris was the last straw for Horus, but that’s all in the past now. Either way, Set is equally as scheming now as he was when he slaughtered the King of the Dead, and perhaps he’s the only one with flaws that you can actually see on the surface.
