| Ma'at. The Goddess who judges the souls of the dead in the afterlife. She is shown to have a feather and a pair of scales. She judges the soul against the weight of the feather. If the soul weighs heavily against the feather it is cast away for eternity. If it is light, there is no imbalance, then she grants them eternal life. It goes deeper than just the depiction of the Goddess, it was a belief that was followed for quite some time, incorporating Truth, Order and Balance. Many Silent Striders and Amenti follow this belief. Apophis/Apep. A term Silent Striders often use to describe the Wyrm, but it does have other significance to the Egyptians.
