Isis (EYE-sis)
Isis known as Isharia in Thay and as Ishtar in Unther, was a deity of the Mulhorandi pantheon. She was a kind goddess who took joy in revealing new discoveries to her followers.
The clergy of the church of Isis was primarily composed of women of Mulan descent, though a few half-elves also followed the Bountiful Lady. These priestesses must study arcane magics as well as divine.
Clerics of Isis spent much of their time administering to the agricultural needs of Mulhorand, as well as the needs of typical home life.
Temples dedicated to Isis remained open to the weather, and flowing water was often incorporated in their construction. The centre of the church of Isis was the Mystic Cornucopia, located in the Great Vale. Additional major temples included the Temple of Bountiful Joy in Skuld and the Spring of Eternal Hope in Shussel, a city located in the nation of Unther.
Clerics of Isis typically wore a white linen dress with sandals. They usually wore a wig over their shaved heads, and painted three blue circles on their forehead as a symbol of their status as a priest of Mulhorand.

Personal history
Isis, with the assistance of Nephthys, resurrected Osiris when he was murdered by Set.
During the Second Sundering, Isis and other deities from the pantheon returned in the form of demigods and led the Mulhorandi uprising against the Imaskari, in a manner similar to how the Chosen manifested in other regions. As of 1489 DR, Mulhorand was led by the returned pantheon, who temporarily set their differences aside for the good of the Mulhorandi people.

Contacts & Relations
Isis was the daughter of Geb and Nut. She was the sister of Thoth and wife of Osiris, as well as the mother of Horus (later Horus-Re). Isis and Nephthys were twins.
The non-evil members of the Mulhorandi pantheon were allies of Isis, as was Sharess. The Bountiful Lady considered Chauntea a confidant and friend.
Due to their similar portfolios and differing alignments, Isis often found herself in conflict with Sebek.
Outside of the Mulhorandi deities, she was on mildly good terms with Mystra and in opposition to the goddess Shar, being opposed to all usage of the Shadow Weave.
