Sidebar - Additional Lore Sand Mummification

To keep from eating or drinking during mummification, prophets of Set grafted metal helmets to their bodies shaped like the heads of sha, sleek beasts that were a symbol of Set's religion. Through slits in their masks, the prophets consumed alchemically treated sands, which absorbed moisture, caused organ failure, and ruptured the stomach to cause death.

Mummy

Source Bestiary pg. 240
While many cultures practice mummification of the dead for benign reasons, undead mummies are created through foul rituals, typically to provide eternally vigilant guardians.

Sidebar - Geb Mummification Practice

Neophytes to mummification typically apprentice to a morgue specializing in the process. Apprenticeships can last several years. Generally, the first mummies one produces are animals, usually of inferior quality. Those who become skilled remain rare enough to be a strategic resource and could be abducted, coerced, or bribed to change their allegiance or sabotage the mummification of their masters.
