Isis (Apath)
Greyhawk Action! |
When Set killed his brother Osiris, it was their
sister Isis who recovered O iris'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 .
Alignment: NG goddess of fertility, magic, motherhood, and rebirth.
Weapon: Quarterstaff.
Symbol: Knot of Isis.
