Nephthys
Nephthys is the Osirion goddess of night and the edge of the desert which separates civilisation and wilderness. She mourns and protects the dead, particularly the lungs and the canopic jars which contain them.
Cults
Nephthys is usually worshipped in small shrines in temples of Anubis, Osiris or Isis, or more rarely those of Set, and has few temples of her own. Her clerics mourn and assist other priests at funerals, working alongside the church of Pharasma if needed.Divine Domains
