They contain pieces of the dead god, Osiris, who was killed and cut into pieces by an enraged Set for seducing his wife Nephthys (in some myths, for raping her), who in turn gave birth to Anubis. Then, Set scattered his brother's pieces throughout the land. Osiris’ wife, Isis, was able to reassemble most of his body, however, and resurrect him. The attempt to resurrect Osiris is a major drive in the plot of the Fall of the Trident campaign.
