Thoth (Celestine Entity of the Steel Realms)

Steel Realms

Quick Reference: Thoth (also commonly known as “Tutmoth-Seh”) is a Divine Principal associated with knowledge and medicine; They are an entity that reflects the powers of Conviction through Essence. This deity has NOT affirmed participation in The Godspeak Accord. They are part of the pantheon of The Celestine. Thoth is venerated mostly in the south, Nakria in particular. The Saelisnean culture also venerate The Celestine of Helca, and the Speaker of Thoth is part of the governing Landsmen council of The Saelish.

Thoth is the record keeper. All knowledge is his, for he and Anubis prepare the dead based upon their records of past deeds. It is said that he goes by many names, and walks the realms in many guises. Ancient legends hint that he was born amongst the stars, and walked from the heart of the sun. It is said that only Anubis can bring him peace, for the knowledge he bears is a great burden. Several older tales explain how his burden has driven him mad sometimes. One even relates how he even tried to kill all the gods, tricking men and turning them against their gods.
