The frog-headed Sab-Sunen is the newly manifested Amonkheti god of plenty. She reigns over agriculture, inspiration, and fertility.
Description
Sab-Sunen takes the form of a human woman with a golden frog's head, carrying an icon of renewal.[1] It is by her will that the seasons change and the waters of the Luxa River run clear. She is the god of plenty, agriculture, irrigation, inspiration, fertility, and the bounty of the Luxa.[2][3]
History
Sab-Sunen evidenced her presence before she revealed herself to the people of Amonkhet.[1] The Luxa surged after the end of the New Phyrexian Invasion, flooding through Naktamun and washing away the blood, oil, and machine corpses. The city was cleansed. In the wake of the floods came more rain, then frogs, and then the sun. Green life sprang up. Naktamun seemed refreshed, the river Luxa once more flowing steady, high, and clear, and the long-dry irrigation canals in the surrounding farmland once more carried water. The people celebrated, and at the height of their celebration and thanks, Sab-Sunen finally appeared.[2]
Orders of worship to Sab-Sunen and Ketramose have coalesced among the survivors of Amonkhet, who raise new temples in their honor.[1]
Inspiration
Sab-Sunen may be inspired by Heqet, a frog-headed Egyptian fertility goddess. There may be elements of Kek, the frog-headed god of primordial darkness, in her design inspiration as well. She also may take inspiration from Hapi, the god of the annual flooding of the Nile.
