Nephythys (LL)

__TOC__
==Nephythys (intermediate god)==
Daughter of Geb and Nut and twin sister of Isis, Nephythys was once married to Set. She left him in horror over the murder of Osiris and helped Isis (Osiris' wife) to revive her husband. Because of this, she often acts as a guardian of the dead. Nephythys despises her former husband and will do everything in her power to thwart his plans for evil.
In addition to her duties as keeper of the dead, Nephythys is also the guardian of wealth. As such, her power is often invoked to defend tombs that have been filled with treasures. Anyone violating such a burial chamber is risking the wrath of this god.
Role-playing Notes: Nephythys is a somewhat greedy god who takes an interest in the accumulation of wealth by her followers. As such, she tends to favor those of her followers who are well off. She often rewards persons who are of help to her or her church by leading them to important treasures.

==Nephythys' Avatar (wizard 18)==
Like the goddess herself, Nephythys' avatar appears as a tall and beautiful woman of grace and dignity. Her eyes sparkle with the gleam of gold. Her touch can bestow great wealth upon any individual by raising the value of any object they hold to 100 times its original cost. Thus, if she touches a sword that cost 15 gold pieces to buy, it is transformed into a fine weapon worth 1,500 gold pieces. She can call upon any school of magic for her spells.
