Isis (pronounced: /ˈaɪ s ɪ s/ EYE-sis^[1]) is a kind deity that takes joy in revealing new discoveries to her followers. She is known as Isharia in Thay, and by the name Ishtar in Unther.^[2]

History

Isis, with the assistance of Nephthys, resurrected Osiris when he was murdered by Set.^[6]

Relationships

Isis is the daughter of Geb and Nut. She is the sister of Thoth and wife of Osiris, as well as the mother of Horus (now Horus-Re).^[5] Isis and Nephthys are twins.^[6]

The nonevil members of the Mulhorandi pantheon are allies of Isis, as is Sharess. The Bountiful Lady considers Chauntea a confidant and friend.^[1]

Due to their similar portfolios and differing alignments, Isis often finds herself in conflict with Sebek.^[5]

Powers and abilities

Isis' will is often demonstrated through the actions of white creatures and animals, such as unicorns, rabbits, and hawks.^[2]

Ghostly visions: Isis may appear in a flow of running water to make her wisdom known, or visit and bless two lovers. She may appear before a warrior facing great odds in her service, bestowing upon the man a single kiss.^[2]
