Often confused with the demipower of the same name, this new deity has quickly been building a clergy for himself with the backing of the Mulhorandi pantheon. In truth, Sebek is an old god said to have been born from water and darkness as Re rose from the sun and fire. A neutral god, Sebek never meddled in the affairs of his fellow deities and built for himself a reputation as an impartial observer and judge. He is alternatively wise and thoughtful, and fearsome and ferocious. Seldom has Sebek's neutrality been broken, although he stepped in to aid Isis and Osiris during Set's persecution of them. Initially not worshipped in Faerun, Sebek was recently alerted to a power masquerading as him on the Prime World of Toril. Upon investigation, the Lord of Crocodiles grew furious at Set's attempt to besmirch his name and petitioned Ao for access to Faerun. Sebek loathes Set for his deification and continuous support of the demipower that has stained his name. Of the Mulhorandi pantheon, he is closest to Osiris and Isis, whom he aided during the period between Set's murder of the death god and Isis's resurrection of him. His relations with the rest of the Faerunian pantheon are still in their infancy. Sebek's avatar generally appears as a tall crocodile-headed man in royal robes or a soldier's well-polished armor. The Lord of Crocodiles wields a mighty spear endowed with powerful curses that he retrieved from the waters of his birthplace. He carries the [i]Scepter of Was[/i], an ureaus-shaped staff gifted to him by Isis that can deliver harmful as well as beneficial effects. He sometimes takes the form of a truly massive crocodile with teeth of adamantine and scales the size of tower shields. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
