Ma'at

Ma'at, sometimes also called Maat, is the cosmic principle of virtue, justice and balance that perpetuates the world. The Amenti and their precedessors, the Shemsu-Heru, adhere to its strict tenures in order to be seen as worthy before the Judges of Ma'at in order to receive the resurrection.

Certain actions (such as lying, mudering and addictive behaviours) are violations of the universal principle of justice. As agents of Ma'at, mummies are expected to avoid such transgressions. Failing to uphold the balance can result in the inability to advance in understanding of the divine principle. The road of Ma'at is a difficult one to walk, and not all of the Reborn can make the journey. The world of the living is filled with temptations, some of which are created by agents of Apophis and others of which are simply a part of being alive. Mummies possess immortality, sensitivity, mystical power, and a first-hand understanding of how precious life is. Although they have been a keen appreciation for Ma'at, they often face a greater temptation to abuse the gifts that they've been given. Some of thsoe who succumb become Bane mummies in the service of Apophis, others are cast down to Amemait. The individual attunement of a mummy to Ma'at is measured in Balance.

In these days, Ma'at is threatened by Apophis and his minions who strive to topple the balance completly and they seem to be very accomplished in this goal. Mummies are expected to fight against the harbingers of corruption and restore the balance to its proper place.
