Wesir embodies both death and resurrection. The Primordial of the heavens, Nut, laid across her husband, Geb the Primordial of earth, fornicating day in and day out. As Nut grew gravid, Re grew jealous and forbade her to give birth on any day of the year. Nut turned to Djehuty for help, and the God brokered enough extra moonlight for four more days. Nut gave birth to four children, one for each extra day. The firstborn of her children, Wesir, became king of Egypt. Set, jealous, killed Wesir and cut him into pieces, throwing them across the World. Wesir’s sister and wife, Aset, picked up (most of ) the pieces of Wesir’s body and begged Ma’at and Djehuty to help her restore him.
They convened in Duat, where Anpu had Wesir’s ib on his scales. Anpu, who felt Wesir had died before his time, allowed Aset to take the heart before he weighed it. Djehuty gave Aset the spell she needed to bring Wesir back to life, and Ma’at gave her the power to do so. When they tried to leave, Anpu forbade Wesir from leaving Duat, for his body was incomplete. Wesir agreed, but only if he could be the ruler of a piece of Duat, as Set had snatched his place as king. Anpu agreed.
The modern Wesir is a shrewd businessman, though his perfect fairness and just nature tends to mean his deals aren’t as profitable as most would like. He has made his kingdom within Duat a place of relative comfort and luxury for those who pass into the afterlife. He has power over resurrection, sometimes granting it to those who ask, though always at a high price. Wesir spends his time brokering deals and garnering power over those who wish to cheat death.
Wesir’s Scions are not born in the same way as other Gods’ offspring, and he is instead at Aset’s mercy for creating Scions. In this way, his children do not fully encompass all his aspects, though he gets to pick and choose which aspects they do have.
