Osiris (oh-SY-ris)
Osiris known as Osirant in Thay, and by the name Ozrikotep in Unther, was a member of the Mulhorandi pantheon. He was a god of the dead and death itself, responsible for meting out justice in the afterlife. He was also a god of plant life, especially as it related to the harvest of food.
Priests of Osiris usually wore linen skirts and sandals. They shaved their heads and usually wore a headdress. They painted a series of three concentric blue circles on their forehead, a symbol of their priestly calling.
When equipping for battle, clergy of the church of Osiris favoured the highest quality armor, weapons, and other equipment available, but avoided excessively displaying their wealth.
Divine spellcasters of Osiris prayed for spells at dusk.
The position of priest in the church of Osiris was usually hereditary; members typically belonged to the House of Osriant, and could claim at least one divine incarnation of Osiris among their ancestors.
Priests of Osiris spent much of their time traveling Mulhorand and settling disputes. They left serious court matters to the clergy of Horus-Re. They also presided over burial procedures, and served as guardians of the Land of the Dead.
The principle temples of the church of Osiris were the Crypt of Shadows located in Jhalhoran and the Gateway to the Afterworld, which was located in Mishtan. Many crypts in Mulhorand also contained shrines dedicated to the Judge of the Dead.
