Ma'at and Isfet

Ma'at and Isfet are a pair of deities in the Old Kingdom that are often equated with or associated with the gods of Parsanshar: Ormazd and Ahriman. Ma'at is a personification of truth, justice, and balance in all things; her symbol is the ostrich feather of truth. She is often associated with Ormazd, thought to be related to him somehow, perhaps by birth or other family ties; she is also thought by some to be an inspiration for the cult of Astra Aeterna. She exists in constant balance with the mysterious, formless personification of her opposing qualities: Isfet, who embodies injustice, malevolence, and chaos. Isfet is openly equated with the Parsanshari deity Ahriman.

Ma'at is a central concept, as well, not only a goddess. This concept forms the backbone of Kemheti religion itself and one of the singular most important aspects of life. All the good and just deities of the Old Kingdom, as revered throughout Kemhet, strive to maintain ma'at, or balance and righteousness, while the evil deities of the pantheon threaten ma'at with their wickedness.
