Wadjet (Apath)

Greyhawk Action!

The Green Empress.

The great River Sphinx, the heart of Osirian life in both ancient and modern times, is embodied in the snake goddess Wadjet, who is said to dwell in the papyrus marshes in the river's delta. Wadjet is the patron and protector of Osirion, and she nourishes the kingdom as the River Sphinx sustains the land and its people.

A teacher and giver of wisdom, Wadjet is the mother of the uraeuses, the race of two -headed winged serpents who are her emissaries and spirits of caution, guidance, and protection.

Wadjet appears as a woman with the head of a cobra, with winged arms outspread in a protective pose, or as a winged cobra with a woman's face, raised and ready to strike in defense of her land and people.

A protector of kings, Wadjet supports Ra and Horus as deities of rulership, but as the guardian of all Osirion, she works with Khepri to protect the common folk as well.

The river speaks, and the wise listen.

Wadjet is a patron of pharaohs, and the uraeus is part of the royal regalia of Osirion. Although she has temples in many of Osirion's major cities, countless smaller shrines to Wadjet stand along the banks of the River Sphinx. Oracles are particularly common in Wadjet's priesthood, and the pharaohs of Osirion have long looked to them for insight and counsel.
