The Egyptian Pantheon

The Egyptian Pantheon is worshipped in the Jaknian Conglomerate - a mythos of great variety, with a god for nearly every animal and place, ruled by Ra. Each city is dedicated to a single god, its temples to other gods kept lesser.

Tenets - Maat

Central to the faith is Maat: a word that does not translate cleanly, combining honour, truth, duty, and integrity. Maat is held to be the natural state of the universe, to which all things are expected to conform; only by living in accordance with it can one be at peace with the gods. Rulers are expected to administer the law fairly, and common folk to give an honest day’s work - and those who fail can expect only turmoil and misery.

Death and the Dead

The Egyptian faith is preoccupied with death and the afterlife, but not one of simple bliss or torment. Every worshipper is expected to spend life preparing for death - the rich building great tombs, the poor doing what they can - for the journey of the soul is inseparable from daily life and Maat.

Deities of the Pantheon

The Great Ennead, the nine most powerful gods and the family of Ra: Ra (the sun, pharaoh to the gods), Geb (the earth), Nut (the sky and stars), Shu (the sky), Tefnut (storms and water), Osiris (nature and the dead), Isis (magic and fertility), Set (evil and night), and Nephthys (wealth and protector of the dead). Beyond them stand Thoth (knowledge), Anubis (guardian of the dead), Horus (the avenger), Bastet (war and healing), Konshu (the moon and time), and many more.
