Rituals & Beliefs
Harakht is a falcon-headed sun god of Stygia and his cult centre is the city of Harakht. He is a solar deity and is also the patron god of weaponsmiths. Harakht is symbolised by the hawk and the falcon, as well as a winged disk. He is the winged son of Kebb and Nuit and he fathered four vile children via his mother. All four darksome children of Harakht were cursed by Usir to be still-born but Set, in a darkly humorous mood, caused them to be resurrected as mummies.

Harakht is considered a lord of eclipses because a full solar eclipse looks like a hawk’s eye to the Stygians. He is a symbol of swift leadership, lightning speed, rapid intelligence and brisk alertness. Most of his priests maximize their Spot and Listen skills as much as possible in emulation of their fiery, winged animal-god. He is also a symbol of victory and omnipresence.

Implementation IC & In-Game
Vanilla Set religion though there are many mod related items accessible as well that may work for a temple to Harakht.
