Ptah
Ptah is the original, mysterious creator and catalyst of the universe. He is the ultimate authority on creation and exists on a multiversal scale, traveling the Astral Plane where he has gained immense knowledge. He is the only god to have prophets, through whom the universal Law of Ra is revealed. He is largely aloof from the internal struggles of the pantheon, viewing them with the wisdom of a being who has seen universes rise and fall. He voluntarily subordinates himself to Ra to establish Order, but remains the superior source of knowledge. He remains aloof from the struggles and rivalries of the Pharaonic pantheon, spending his time wandering the vast expanses of the planes.

Tenets of Faith
Followers believe that the universe is a flawless cosmic machine set in motion by Ptah, and every person has a specific place within that order. They are commanded to act creatively in their arts and crafts, seek knowledge, and strive to maintain order, never overstepping their role in the grand design.
Clergy and Temples
Ptah's priesthood is small and highly dedicated. Priests wear black vestments adorned with glittering white stars, symbolizing his connection to the cosmos. Temples are elaborate, often built in remote locations, with ceilings decorated to resemble the night sky. When a living Prophet of Ptah exists, that person leads the Order of Mystery, with authority superior to the High Priest.
