Tet

The city of Tet is on Lake Sekhem in the Makir Hills of northern Khemit, and the people of Tet gain much of their livelihood from the lake. They fish and make most of the papyrus in the hill area from the reeds in the lake. Tet is also the high seat of Tefnut, goddess of storms and rivers. She is one of the deities of Khemit’s all-important water, along with her brother Hapy. The people of her city make sure to always pour out a libation of water to her before eating or drinking, and at least sprinkle some water from their fingers before going about an activity, to gain her favor in their undertakings.
