Lore:

At the end of Queen Amenti’s reign the title would be passed down to her daughter Queen Menat. Like her mother, she would rule over her hidden city. Taking care of her citizens and punishing the criminals via adding them to the ever growing collection. She would even “play” with them. I suppose a trait like that just runs in the family.

One night as she was admiring the collection, she was visited by her most honored guest. The Jackal Goddess herself, Anput. Menat was truly surprised by her sudden appearance and quickly bowed before her in respect.

The goddess was flattered. “Rise Menat, Queen of Mummies. For it is I that should be honoring you.” She says, before bowing back to her. The queen was surprised. A goddess honoring a simple queen was just unheard of. Menat asks why she has revealed herself to her. Anput merely smirks and says “I have come to make you an offer.” This makes the Queen curious and Anput continues. “I have seen the work that you and your family have done over the years and I admire you. Your mother, once betrayed by her husband only to then build a hidden kingdom from nothing. Truly remarkable! Which is why I am here. I wish for you to accept me as your patron goddess and I will in return grant you power that will help your bloodline continue for many generations. You will also be granted immortality and ascend to godhood while your heir continues the great work.”

Menat was shocked by this offer. Anput, the goddess herself. She had to think about this for a moment as this began to overwhelm her. An opportunity to be immortal… once she regained her composure she looked back up to Anput and accepted her offer.

To honor this deal, a new chamber was built in the temple. One that was lit by candles and a stone slab standing in the center. Then came the most important part: mummifying the goddess. Anput would be stripped of her clothing and the Queen would tightly wrap her up with rolls of linen. The goddess had one final request before her head was wrapped. “I expect to be worshipped everyday and released once every 100 years for playtime, is that understood?” She asked. The Queen blushed, feeling a little embarrassed that Anput knew about her playtimes with the other mummies. She quietly nodded. Anput smirked and opened her mouth ready to receive the cloth wad stuffing. The queen gently stuffed her mouth with the cloth and tightly wrapped her muzzle shut. Two more layers would be added, further securing her body before being placed against the stone slab in the center of the chamber. Her eyes then began to glow as more bandages sprouted from behind her and secured her to the slab.

Once she was secured a wave of light shoots out from the mummified goddess and spreads across the temple. Officially sealing the deal that they made and that will continue to be honored for many generations to come…
