As Re-Horakhty, he is ruler of the Egyptian pantheon and the resplendent lord of the sun, steering the Solar Barge across the sky and through the underworld at night. He appears as a strong, darkskinned human with the head of a hawk.
Re-Horakhty ascended to take the place of the original sun-god, Re, after defeating Set to avenge the murder of Osiris. He absorbed the divine essence of the aging Re, increasing his power beyond that of his parents.
Re-Horakhty is the god of kings, bestowing his divine blessings upon the earthly rulers who serve him. Although kings who revere Re-Horakhty are fond of preaching about "divine right", Re-Horakhty demands that monarchs rule wisely and justly, true to his lawful good alignment. His divine blessings can be taken away from those who prove themselves unworthy as quickly as they were given.
Re-Horakhty commonly uses his Possess Mortal salient divine ability to inhabit an earthly pharaoh, thus acting simultaneously as ruler of heaven and of earth.
Re-Horakhty is a martial god, his nightly battle in the underworld representing the constant warfare that good must wage against evil. Evil, in the Egyptian mythos, primarily means Set and his servants, especially Apep. Set is Re-Horakhty's uncle, and
killed Osiris at least in part to usurp the throne that Re-Horakhty wrested from his grasp, making the two deities implacable enemies. Re-Horakhty teaches that vigilance and readiness of arms are absolutely necessary so that Set and his minions can never succeed in stopping the Solar Barge's nightly journey and assuming leadership of the pantheon.

Naturally, Isis is a great enemy of her husband's murderer and encourages her followers to oppose Set and his minions in the world.

A being of pure chaos and evil, Set is opposed to everything the Egyptian deities represent. He appears as a powerful man with a bestial head resembling a donkey, with a curved snout and upright, square-tipped ears. He also has a long, forked tail. He sometimes appears in animal form, as a hunting dog (resembling a greyhound or saluki), a hippopotamus, or a wild boar.
Set is the brother of Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys, and was married to Nephthys before he murdered Osiris. Nephthys bore him a single child, Sobek.

Set murdered Osiris for two reasons: out of jealousy over Nephthys' seduction of Osiris, and in an attempt to seize the rulership of the pantheon, which Ra relinquished and Osiris was poised to claim. He continues to struggle with Re-Horakhty for the throne, but he has no interest in an ordered government. Set's struggle with the other gods of the pantheon is about power, not empire. He believes that he is the strongest of the deities in the pantheon, and that his strength makes him the only one fit to rule. He perpetuates this idea of rule by the strong within his cult, where cleric-assassins vie with each other for power and position.
According to Set, whatever a person is strong enough to claim belongs to that person by right. The "divine right" of rulership that Re-Horakhty teaches is meaningless in
Set's eyes, rulership should be held by whoever can seize and maintain it. Authority should be respected only insofar as it is powerful enough to enforce its will.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: ''On Hallowed Ground'' paints Set as this toward Nephthys. He regularly tries to buy his way back into his ex-wife's good graces, not understanding that she wants nothing to do with a fundamentally evil guy who callously murdered his own brother.
* CainAndAbel: With his brother Osiris. Set is the Cain in their relationship, having murdered Osiris in a petty act of jealousy.
* DeityIdentityConfusion: Certain nations in the Forgotten Realms setting worship him under the name Typhon, while the Yuan-Ti worship him under the guise of Zehir.
* EvilVirtues: Loyalty. Set is a cruel, ambitious backstabber of a god, but he legitimately cares for his followers and would not abandon them or screw them over. He also forbids said followers from betraying each other and expects them to work together as a "brotherhood".
* FetusTerrible: ''Legends & Lore'' states that Set violently tore his way out of Nut's womb and was evil and repulsive from the moment of his birth.
* GodOfEvil: His primary role in the Egyptian pantheon. Set is the designated bad guy who does evil things just because he can. He can even force a person's alignment to become Lawful Evil in 1st and 2nd edition.
* HailfirePeaks: Set's divine realm of Ankhwugaht is a scorching desert located right in the middle of Stygia, which is the ''coldest'' layer of the Nine Hells and a literal icy hellscape.
* HeelFaceBrainwashing: Inverted. Set has the power to turn even the most upstanding and good person evil just by touching them (in 1st edition) or meeting their gaze (2nd edition).
* {{Irony}}: Set has been painted as his pantheon's GodOfChaos from the word go, but his official alignment in 1st through 3rd edition sourcebooks was consistently LawfulEvil. 5th edition recognized the paradox of this and made him ChaoticEvil instead. %%in-universe

to:
The twin sister-wife of Shu, Tefnut is the mercurial, lion-headed goddess of moisture and storms. Her divine realm is Windwrath, a storm-wracked section of the slopes of Bytopia.
----
* TheBeastmaster: Her 2nd edition avatar is accompanied by lionesses who obey her commands and fight alongside her in combat.
* DivineIncest: She's married to her twin brother Shu and had two children with him.
* GodOfThunder: She's a storm goddess with power over rain and lightning.
* MoodSwinger: Tefnut's personality is as tempestuous and mercurial as the elemental forces she commands. She can go from gentle to harsh and back again at the drop of a hat.
* ShockAndAwe: As a storm goddess, this is a given. She fights primarily by hurling lightning bolts at her foes in 1st edition, while her 2nd edition avatar can shoot lightning bolts from its eyes and wields a sword that can become a bolt of lightning on command.

to:
Firstborn of Ra's children, Shu is the personification of the atmosphere and brother-husband of Tefnut. He dwells in Desert Wind, a particularly warm and gentle subsection of the Elemental Plane of Air.
----
* BlowYouAway: As a god of the atmosphere, Shu possesses great power over the wind and air. ''Legends & Lore'' states that his true form is surrounded by swirling winds which can become raging cyclones with but a thought, and his avatar carries a magical sword that unleashes a powerful gale upon striking a foe, literally blowing the victim miles away.
* CounterSpell: Anyone foolish enough to try casting a spell that manipulates wind against Shu will discover that the god can negate such spells effortlessly.
* DivineIncest: As in actual Egyptian myth, Shu is married to his sister Tefnut.
* HotGod: ''Legends & Lore'' states that Shu looks like a divinely handsome man in both his true form and his avatar form.
* MakeThemRot: The 1st edition ''Deities & Demigods'' book states that Shu's touch makes things decay at impossible speed.
* NumberTwo: ''Legends & Lore'' states that Shu steps in to lead Heliopolis whenever Ra is absent, implying that Ra treats him as his second-in-command.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: He is divinely mandated to keep his children Geb and Nut from being together, which he does by physically holding them apart.
* SummonMagic: He can conjure up numerous air elementals to fight for him in both first and second edition.

The cat-headed goddess of pleasure and cats. Her realm is Merratet, an overgrown and cat-infested ruin located on the plane of Ysgard.
The Mulhorandi version of Bast is better known as '''Sharess''', the Faerûnian goddess of pleasure and sensuality.
----
* {{Animorphism}}: Her 2nd edition avatar can shapeshift into any sort of feline at will.
* TheBeastmaster: As the goddess of cats, Bast holds authority over felines of every sort. Her 2nd edition avatar can command cats to do her bidding, and even if she doesn’t, no cat will ever attack her or act against her.
* DeityIdentityConfusion: The Faerunian goddess Sharess is the Mulhorandi version of Bast after having absorbed the divine portfolios of two other gods from unrelated pantheons and fostered cat and/or pleasure cults throughout the continent. Most people worship her as Sharess, the people of Mulhorand still revere her as Bast, and she is occasionally worshipped as the two gods she absorbed, Felidae and Zandilar the Dancer.
* ForcedTransformation: When Bast's avatar rakes someone with her claws in 2nd edition, that person must succeed on a saving throw or be transformed into a big cat.
* TheHedonist: Bast is fond of sampling the world's physical pleasures and requires her clerics to do the same.
* HolyHandGrenade: In 2nd edition, her avatar's claws deal extra damage to evil creatures.
* NoSell: If someone tries to attack Bast with a weapon in 1st edition, there is a high chance that the weapon will [[WreckedWeapon shatter harmlessly]] against her skin, doing no damage.
* SitcomArchNemesis: ''On Hallowed Ground'' states that Bast is bitter rivals with the cat lord, a supernatural entity which claims to be the sovereign and protector of all felines. Since Bast is the goddess of cats, she views the cat lord as an upstart and a rival for the affection of her feline subjects.
* TeleportSpam: ''Deities & Demigods'' states that Bast frequently teleports around the battlefield between slashing enemies with her claws.

The god of war, a powerful and fearsome deity who reserves his wrath for the wicked. His divine realm is Netaph, a temperate place of martial training located on the first layer of Ysgard.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Falcons. The bird of prey is his holy symbol, and some sources state that he takes the form of a man with a falcon's head.
* DeityIdentityConfusion:
** ''On Hallowed Ground'' states that Anhur's proxy is Montju, with whom he often quarrels and occasionally trades places. In the real world, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montu Montju]] was a separate Egyptian god of war.
** The Mulhorandi version of Anhur is also worshipped as Ramman in Unther, due to the latter god passing his name and divine portfolio to Anhur after being mortally wounded by Assuran.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: ''Deities & Demigods'' states that Anhur normally has two arms, but during combat he prefers to shapeshift into forms with more arms so he can wield more weapons at once. ''Legends & Lore'' cuts out the middleman and states that he naturally has four arms to better wield his mighty lance.
* NoSell: His 2nd edition avatar can't be harmed by weapons that don't have at least a +3 bonus.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: An indirect example. Anhur's lance is tipped with a literal fragment of the sun, giving the weapon tremendous power.
* TurnUndead: In 1st edition, Anhur's lance has the power to destroy all undead within 50 yards of him.
* WarGod: His role in the Egyptian pantheon. Anhur wages war against the forces of darkness and evil, and he does not attack those of good or neutral alignment unless they attack him first. His priests and clerics are skilled warriors who act as military advisors or commanders.

* AntiMagic: In 1st edition, Ra is under the effect of a permanent ''antimagic shell'' which prevents any other person's magic from affecting him, but which doesn't interfere with his own spells. In 2nd edition, this shell is instead a property of his barge.
* BareFistedMonk: Ra doesn't bother to carry weapons, and his 2nd edition avatar fights with his fists whenever he isn't using his EyeBeams.
* CoolBoat: Ra's barge is a flying craft forged from the fires of the sun itself. It changes between a war galley and a funereal barge depending on the time of day, it emanates a fiery aura which will burn anyone who tries to touch or board the ship without Ra's consent, and it has a boatload of other magical properties.
* HandBlast: In 1st edition, Ra fights primarily by shooting heat rays from his hands.
* PowerOfTheSun: It's ''Ra'', so this should go without saying. The 1st edition ''Deities & Demigods'' book gives him the power to bring forth light whenever he pleases and shoot rays of damaging heat which cannot be resisted, while his 2nd edition avatar from ''Legends & Lore'' can shoot EyeBeams made of "solar flame". His barge is also stated to be made of solidified solar fire.
* TakeUpMySword: The Forgotten Realms version of Re was mortally wounded by Gruumsh during the Orcgate Wars. The dying Re transferred his power and authority to Horus, elevating the latter to head of the Mulhorandi pantheon as Horus-Re.
* TopGod: He is the primogenitor of most of the Egyptian gods and the one the rest of them look to for guidance and authority.
* TurnUndead: His 2nd edition avatar can use the power of his ankh to instantly obliterate any undead he's facing, provided that these undead are not native to whatever plane of existence where the fight is taking place.

to:
The benevolent goddess of mercy and childbirth, who strives to bring new life into the world and ease the suffering of those living within it.
----
* FriendToAllChildren: As a goddess of childbirth, Kuan Yin loves all children and is deeply protective of them. Whenever someone treats children with violence, there is a low chance that she will send her avatar to protect the children and punish the offender. Her clerics are likewise tasked with caring for homeless kids.
* MysticalPregnancy: ''Legends & Lore'' states that any woman who steals a pair of slippers from one of Kuan Yin's temples will become pregnant. Since Kuan Yin is the goddess of childbirth, her clerics keep their temples stocked with lots of slippers for this exact purpose.
* NoSell: 1st edition ''Deities & Demigods'' states that acts of violence cannot be directed toward Kuan Yin by anyone or anything, while 2nd edition ''Legends & Lore'' states that no physical weapon can strike her avatar. In either case, this makes trying to fight her a difficult proposition. In both editions, she can also negate any one violent act made toward another person per round.
* TechnicalPacifist: Kuan Yin abhors violence and killing, and while she has combat statistics in both 1st and 2nd edition, the former states that she will never use her magical powers to harm someone, while the latter states that her attacks can only knock someone unconscious and are otherwise incapable of killing anyone. She likewise commands her clerics to fight only in defense of the helpless and to never kill.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Kuan Yin does not tolerate killing for any reason, and she forbids her clerics from intentionally taking lives. Even an accidental killing will result in the cleric being stripped of their powers until they atone for the act.
