Isis
The wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, Isis is the most powerful female deity of the Pharaonic pantheon. She is a god of magic and fertility, a patron of marriage, and (with Hathor) a god of motherhood. Her dominion over water represents the ancient rivers that are the source of fertility and life. She appears as a green-skinned human woman with green eyes, wearing a white pleated linen gown and many items of jewelry.

Tenets of Faith
In her purest essence, Isis represents the power of love to overcome death. When Set killed her husband Osiris, Isis searched the land to find his body and labored to restore him to life. The strength of her love combined with her power to conquer death make her possibly the most popular of the Pharaonic deities. She is an approachable deity, for she loves her worshipers as much as she loves her husband, and she offers them the same gift she gave Osiris: everlasting life in the peaceful bliss of the Offering Fields.
For all her popularity, Isis has a more esoteric side in her role as deity of magic. Though wizards and sorcerers revere her, she also receives veneration in the form of countless charms with minor magical powers created in her name, making even her mysteries accessible to the masses of her followers. She respects Thoth as the primary god of magic.
Clergy and Temples
Isis's priests are often multiclass cleric/wizards or cleric/sorcerers, though many of her followers prefer to master the spells of one class or the other. Most of her clerics are female and she never takes a male High Priest. Isis's temples are found everywhere the Pharaonic pantheon is revered. She shares a single Grand Temple with Osiris and a temple compound with Anubis, her nephew, though she and Osiris have a separate inner court within the temple and Anubis has a completely separate Temple Proper.
