Isis (Apath)

Greyhawk Action!

When Set killed his brother Osiris, it was their sister Isis who recovered Oiris's body, and using her magic, conceived a son, Horus, with her dead husband. Enraged, Set then dismembered Osiris's corpse and scattered the remains, but Isis gathered up all of the pieces of her husband's body and with a magic spell resurrected Osiris.

Isis ruled as queen alongside Osiris during the Age of Legend, and like him, she is a fertility and nature goddess, viewed as the ideal mother and wife . She is a goddess of rebirth and resurrection, and the protector of the canopic jar that holds the deceased's liver. She is also a deity of magic, both arcane and divine. Isis appears as a beautiful human woman with winged arms, wearing a crown shaped like a throne. She is the loyal wife and partner of Osiris, and is fiercely protective of her son Horus. Isis is close to her sister Nephthys, but is a sworn enemy of her brother Set.

Isis is worshiped by sorcerers, wizards, and witches as a patron of magic, but also by mothers, wives, and druids in her role as a goddess of fertility. The vast majority of her clerics are women, but men and women both are initiated into her mystery cults to learn her secret and sacred rites .
