Under the Desert Sun

I don't know what it is about the cold that gets me thinking of campaign settings like Dark Sun, or ancient Egypt. Maybe it's the desire to be anywhere but the frigid lands I am in. Maybe it's maddening idea that the burning heat would warm my frozen core. Whatever the reason, I've been doing a lot of thinking about Persian and Egyptian campaigns. To this end, I started defining an Egyptian Pantheon in Pathfinder style. Here is the result of my minor efforts.
