Netjer Motif
Speaking the sacred ritual words releases sekhem, lending power to the soul.
Heku is a tradition of magic that originated in ancient Egypt, practiced by the Netjer and their followers. It holds dominion over rebirth and the afterlife, exerting outward power in the form of sekhem, external life force, and through the many-part soul: Ren (name), Ib (heart), Sheut (shadow), Ba (personality), Ka (vital essence), and Ha (the sum of all these).
Netjer Signature Purview: Heku
The Netjer are concerned with the state of one’s soul above all else. A person is made up of multiple parts the Ren (name), Ib (heart), Sheut (shadow), Ba (personality), Ka (vital essence), and Ha (the sum of all these). In sum, all these parts make up the person’s soul, their intentions, personality, intelligence, and the life force that drives them. Heku is the magical energy that comes from the life and death of a person
Heku Innate Power
You hold power over those whose ren, or true name, you know. For most mortals, this is their full given name, while the ren of mythical beings, cautious occultists, or Gods require more extensive research or subterfuge to uncover. Knowledge of a character’s ren grants Enhancement 2 on rolls to gain knowledge or understanding of them
VIRTUES
Balance vs. Justice
The Netjer are concerned with the proper and orderly flow of the world, yet all things demand an accounting. Justice pursued too vigorously leads to vengeance and the lack of Balance, but over weighting Balance permits injustice to flourish.
