Mulhorandi pantheon
The Mulhorandi pantheon consisted of the deities worshiped in Mulhorand. Their domain was Heliopolis.
Divine Origins
When the Imaskari captured the Mulan people and brought them to Toril, the slaves also brought the worship of their deities. With help from Ao, these deities were able to follow their worshipers and end their servitude.
After the destruction of Mulhorand by the Spellplague, the Mulhorandi pantheon disappeared. In the wake of the Second Sundering, and hearing again the plea of their people, the Mulhorandi gods returned to Toril and sent their Chosen to overthrow High Imaskar and to restore Mulhorand.
Cosmological Views
Many of the Mulhorandi gods and goddesses were said in the mythologies to have been related as a single family. The overgod Ra first created Shu, god of wind and air, and Tefnut, goddess of moisture. The coupling of Shu and Tefnut produced Geb, god of earth, and his sister, Nut, goddess of the sky. Geb was infatuated with his sister, and they perpetually "embraced", giving rise to Thoth, Isis and her twin sister Nephthys, Osiris, and Set. (Set's birth was horrifying, as Set ripped himself from his own mother's womb.) When the Mulhorandi pantheon came to Faerûn, Ra ordered Nut to stay behind with Shu and Tefnut to prevent the creation of further powers.
Some sources argue that Thoth was not, in fact, related to the other members of the pantheon, even going so far as to claim that it was Thoth, not Ra, who created all things.
Isis married her brother Osiris and became the mother of Horus. Anhur was considered a cousin of Horus-Re.
Nephthys was once married to her brother Set, but she divorced him when he murdered Osiris. Some claimed that the crocodile-god Sebek was the son of Nephthys and Set, but the truth was that Set fathered Sebek with a fey named Mornach. Osiris and Nephthys also had a son, Anubis, but he did not follow the rest of the pantheon to Faerûn.
Horus-re created two children for himself, Hathor and Bast. Hathor married the god Bes, and Bast the god Ptah.
