Amun-thys

Amun-thys was the divine realm of the Pharaonic and Mulhorandi goddess of wealth, Nephthys.

Cosmography
This realm was located in the plane of Arborea, in the layer of Pelion, and was the sole divine realm that stood in that layer.

Geography
In its entirety, the terrain of this realm was a desert with many dunes and the scattered, giant carcasses belonging to lesser titans from Olympus, who fell on the way to Bal-tiref, which for unknown reasons they traveled to when it was their time to die. Some of their corpses had been hollowed out, tanned, and reinforced to transform them into shelters. While others had been used as foundations and built atop of.

Flora & Fauna
Like the rest of Pelion, very few animals or plants could be found across this realm. The most creatures one could encounter included adders, buzzards, desert rats, small lizards, scorpions, snakes, and vultures.

All plants in this realm were brittle, desiccated, and as white as the desert sands themselves. They were typically found near mud pools or where water laid close to the surface. Some of the plants one could find included dust reeds, tumbling lilies, and white lotuses.

Planar Conditions
Any spell that was related to the dead, dreaming, or sleeping was more powerful when cast within this world. The effect of the fool's gold spell were permanent when cast here. And a greater number of creatures were affected than usual by commune, commune with nature, shadow walk, sleep veil, speak with dead, weird, and potions of dreaming..

Additionally, while in this realm the perceptions an individual were warped in that they viewed things as being more valuable than they actually were.

Notable Locations

 * Scattered throughout this desert land were a number of crypts, mausoleums, necropoli, tombs, and temples, tombs, meeting places, monuments, and crematoria. A large number of these structures were thoroughly plundered, but many still remained untouched. Potentially they were once pat of great cities or enormous burial sites. But those that weren't contained the hoarded wealth of Nephthys, grave goods that had belonged in life to the wealthy.
 * Bal-tiref, an enormous echoing necropoli that was home to ghasts, jackals, rats, and other scavengers. It was considered to be the great necropolis in all of the realm, more profitable than other tombs.
 * The mortuarties. These were renowned for their skills in cremation, mummification, preservation of grave goods, and taxidermy. The morticians that worked at them were known to phylacteries, magical scarabs, and oil of timelessness.
 * Nefankh Quarry, a site where sculptuors and stonemasons worked stones like alabaster, basalt, and granite for the purpose of mausoleum walls and monuments. Though some stones were polished and refined into temple idols or victory obelisks.
 * Palace of Nephythys. Located in the center of this desert plane, it was made of dun-colored stone.
 * Scarab, a small city near the palace. It consisted of white mud hovels and was located not far from the palace.

Notable Inhabitants

 * Argevar, an illusive brass dragon who enjoyed shapeshifting into a human and was rumored to have a mountainous treasure horde hidden in the Realms. Some local priests of Nephthys even believed these rumors and sought the horde as tribute to the goddess.
 * Isaratet the White Ibis, high priestess of Nephthys and ruler of Scarab. She was one of the few friendly individuals in the realm, but demanded an oath of honesty and peace before allowing anyone into her settlement. Anyone that broke such an oath was soon afterwards afflicted with mummy rot.
 * Manhayth, an aasimar who roamed the land hunting the lycanthropes that inhabited it.
 * Osirem the Cruel, an arrogant and powerful werebat who was one of the best known bandits of the realm.
 * Tyun Amerinvai, a member of the Dustmen who worked at Bal-tiref and was wise to much of the local gossip.

Inhabitants
The petitioners of this realm were few in number. Some lived in small shacks outside of Bal-tiref, working inside as embalmers and corpse-preparers. Others lived in the village of Scarab. They dressed in long, robes stitched with gold embroidery and dyed purple or scarlet. Known as Amunian robes, Amun-thys was well known for them and they were sought after by members of the Society of Sensation.

Much like Nephthys, the petitioners greatly discouraged visitors and travelers, an unwelcoming nature brought about from having been betrayed by bandits countless times in the past. Additionally, with her help the petitioners went to great lengths to protect the realm's various crypts from looters.

In addition to the petitioners, there lived roaming bandit tribe tribes of werebats, werehyenas, werelions, and even enormous werevultures. And minions of the Pharaonic deity Set were only occasionally seen.

Rumors & Legends

 * Tribes of elves from the desert world of Athas were rumored and allegedly sighted by some living in this realm.
 * Some of the petitioners of this realm claimed to have seen a phoenix nesting within the sands and that its nest erupted into a pillar of flame each night. More avid peddlers of rumor claimed that its egg was an exquisite jewel, that shined like a beacon during the day.
 * Many of the tombs in this place were believed to belong to dead deities.
 * The Ditch, the only large body of water in Sigil, was rumored to contain a portal to this realm.
