Jackal Guard of the Sealed Gate

The myth

The Jackal Guard is a MYTHENOR figure inspired by Anubis, guardian of the dead. The jackal god made sure the dead received their due rites at burial and stood by them in the afterlife, helping their resurrection. His titles, such as He Who Is Upon His Sacred Mountain, show him watching over the necropolis from above. Tombs were sealed after the funeral, and the jackal's divine protection went with those seals. The image of a guard still at the gate a thousand years later is born from that endless vigil.
