Rituals & Beliefs
Djehuty, a self-generated god in the shape of a baboon, replaced Ibis as Set’s scribe and vizier when the Giant-Kings were defeated by the Khari. Whereas Ibis invented the written script of the Giant-Kings and of Acheron, Djehuty taught the Stygian script devised by his wife Seshet to the early Stygians. He is also a moon-god who attempts to dispel darkness with light when the sun is swallowed by Nuit.

Djehuty sits upon the balance that weighs the hearts of the deceased to see if they are worthy of entering the pleasant afterlife. He is the patron of scholars, scribes, physicians, alchemists and all who seek knowledge. He has no temples but he does have priests and scribes dedicated to him known as the Apes of Set.

Implementation IC & In-Game
Vanilla Set religion, though mods have totems and figures that may also be appropriate.
