Ⅰ

Ptah is a member of the pantheon often worshiped in Ancient Osirion. Ptah is a creator deity so powerful that he is the only god to create himself, though he and Ra are both venerated as creator gods. Earthquakes are said to be signs of his displeasure.

Appearance

Ptah is typically depicted as a man wearing mummy wrappings and a skullcap. He holds a staff that combines the three main symbols of his power: an ankh, the djed pillar, and a was scepter. These represent life, stability, and power, respectively.

Osirian dwarves who worship Ptah instead depict him as a naked, deformed dwarf.

Relationships

A family tree of the Osirian Pantheon.

Ptah is the husband of Sekhmet, and he considers Ra and Maat to be allies.

While he mostly keeps to himself among the Osirian gods, he conflicts with other gods (such as Set) who try to destroy what he creates.

Cults

Ptah is the patron god of alchemists, architects, artisans, artists, bards, builders, carpenters, masons, metalworkers, shipbuilders, and anyone else doing a creative task.

It is said that Ptah hears all of his worshipers' prayers, and will intercede to other gods on their behalf.
