Kushite Secessionists Melee Infantry

Disciples of Apedemak

"Roarrr!!!"

The lion-headed Apademak was the Nubian god of war and victory, often depicted standing on the backs of elephant. He was also the personal protector of the king and was venerated alongside the other great gods, especially those who came from the south, such as Khnum and Ankhet. War was not Apedemak's only area of dominion. He was clearly very important to the Meroitic royal family, for representations have survived showing him being honoured by kings, queens and their children. In one hymn, he is addressed as "Lion of the south, strong of arm; great god who comes to him who invokes him; bearer of secrets, mysterious of form who is not seen by any eye."
