Anubis
Anubis is the god of mummification and the guardian of tombs in the Osirian pantheon. He protects tombs and the souls of the dead on their way to receiving Pharasma's judgement in the Boneyard.1
Dogma
Anubis teaches that the dead deserve proper burial and that his faithful should be impartial when sitting in judgement. He sees undead as a desecration of the dead and urges his followers to destroy them. He also forbids the looting of tombs or the trapping of a soul to keep it from reaching its eternal destination.2
Appearance
Anubis appears either as a jackal or a jackal-headed, black-skinned human.1
Relationships
Anubis is the son of Osiris and Nephthys born out of wedlock. He assisted Isis in the mummification of his father. He frequently works with Isis, Neith, Nephthys, and Selket in the protection of the dead, and is an enemy of Set due to his association with undead.1
Church of Anubis
Nearly all Osirian tombs contain images or other depictions of Anubis. The patron of embalmers, his followers (including paladins) usually wear jackal masks and are dedicated to the destruction of undead.1
