The Weighing of the Heart

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Welcome mortal. Your soul’s journey has come to it's final test. Is your heart lighter than a feather, or is it weighed heavy with sin? The Keeper of the Balance is all seeing. Woe be unto you for he can not be tricked or bribed. The Wicked shall perish here.

When I hopped over to the Fantasy Gacha and spotted the Ensepulcher series by Papermoon, I squeaked and started hitting that machine like mad. I'm a huge Ancient Egypt fan. Anubis is my favorite deity. The detail on this gacha is wonderful and of course the Scales of Truth is a powerful symbol. Many ideas from Ancient Egypt are still with us today such as the commandants, going into the light, the judgement of the dead, and an idyllic afterlife. They believed when a person died, their soul journeyed through the underworld. If they completed all tests they would reach the end and stand on trail before Anubis. They would recite the 42 Commandments of Ma'at and proclaim to have not broken any of the laws. Anubis however is not fooled by lies. He would take your heart (which thought to be the seat of your soul), and weigh it against the feather of Ma'at. If your heart was heavier than the feather, your heart would be destroyed and thus you are annihilated. If you pass the test, your soul is then allowed to enter the blessed afterlife in the Elysium Fields. (Yes, that is Egyptian too!) ... The Papermoon set has all the tools used in the Egyptian mummification process such as the 4 Canopic Jars that hold the internal organs, and a cranial hook to pull out your brains out through your nose. Hey if you want your body to remain preserved for all time, you have to make a few sacrifices. lol

So how does Anubis rip your heart out? How about the badass Azrael gloves by Remarkable Oblivion? They reminds me of Horus with the feather details and talon like claws. The Azrael gloves come with a Hud that will switch the colors from black, gold, and bloody. You can also pose the fingers, and thats not all, they animate in wonderfully scary way too! LOVE IT! You can find them at the Dark Style Fair which opens May 17th.

The rest of my outfit comes from pieces I have collected over the years, I have several different Anubis characters. This one wears the Hawk hair by Wasbi Pills, Leg Harness by .Shi, Wolfen eyes and makeup By Snow, sandals by Pure Poison, and Slink Claws with cool foot pads for Slink male flat foot. For Throwback Thursday fun, my non-mesh items are the Anubis Ears and the Anubis staff from the Tokushi Anubis, collar and cuffs by Illusions, and kilt by Shai. The Pyramid and firebowls are from the HR.PyramidePalace by Han Roffo. You can't get it anymore, but the dark Pyramid dungeon is still available.

The eyes one of the many, (I counted 58!) prizes that can be won at System Failure. Love Pluse Games! They made the best haunted house in SL each Halloween. Don't miss it! ... And speaking of Ancient Egypt, also going on right now is Death in the Desert, produced by the same people behind the popular Octoberville mysteries.

We Love Role Play: Conspiracy in Ancient Egypt

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Kaiser Kruel was not always known by that name. In the ancient world, he was Horemheb, the ambitious Commander in Chief of Pharaoh's army when the Two Lands was at war with itself at the end of the 18th Dynasty. A beautiful Mitanni princess, Nefertiti, brought with her a new monotheistic religion that plunged the nation into a bloody power struggle between the Bull Worshippers and the new Children of the Sun. The heretic queen met an ugly end, and was soon followed by her lovesick husband Akhenaten. His sickly child ascended the throne and was also quickly dispatched. Ankhesenamun, the naive widow of short-lived Tutankhamen, flew into commander's arms, begging him to save her from a marriage to a Hittite prince. He only pretended to care. His eyes were firmly set on the prize. Once she was gone, that left only Aye standing in his way. 4 years later, Horemheb would become the most powerful god king in the known world and return Ancient Egypt to glory.

p.s. I am monster Ancient Egypt fan. This is a fiction but it's also based on lot of historical knowledge of this time period.

We <3 Role-Play! is in the second round this month with even more participants than the first round. If you love dressing in genres like Fantasy, Gor, Medieval, Victorian, and Egyptian run over there and scoop up new original content items on sale! I am showing three things currently available. First, let me say this Egyptian lady skin by Avea Heartsick combined with the dress by Arwen's Creations is stunning and perfectly coordinated. The crown is made to go with the Rocca hair by Tukinowaguma. The outfit comes with everything you see in the image plus clothing layer undergarments. If you love Ancient Egypt, RUN GO GET IT! Seriously. It's gorgeous. (When can I expect a male counterpart from Arwen's Creations? *taps foot impatient*) I am wearing the mesh armor on sale at event by Innoc. It comes in male and female, black and brown. You need to do some adjusting for a good fit on the unrigged mesh parts. The kilt I am wearing is rare item greatly needed, a long mesh kilt. This one by A:S:S comes with an awesome mesh belt in silver or gold, but for my purposes I used the L&B Biker belt to match the brown leather strap theme. I love my claw rings by Glitz. The Saint hair by Emo-tions could be like a punk version of the Sidelock hairstyle the Egyptian princes wore if you use a little imagination.
