Isu Rehkotop was a High Priestess at the Temple of Muhar[1] who died in 739 BC. She served Osiris but was corrupted, converting to the worship of Set, and so was guilty of apostasy. In 738 BC, she awoke and reanimated the mummy Senmet.[1] Her life is set down in the eight Isu scrolls.

Background

Isu Rekhotep was once the Lawful Good high priestess of Osiri in Muhar. One day she found an unholy scroll that set down the procedures to create a greater mummy. She resisted the corrupting pull of dark knowledge for years, but eventually she became enamored with the forces of evil. She used the scroll to reanimate Senmet, and she became a secret convert to the Cult of Set.[1]

Isu dared to venture through the Valley of the Dead to Ankhtepot's Tomb, where she performed the ritual of reanimation to create a greater mummy, that mummy being Senmet. Isu foolishly believed Senmet was under her complete control. Unfortunately for her, the deceptive Senmet was not the thrall Isu thought he was. In truth, she could only hold power over him for but a few brief moments in any one day. Senmet bid his time, gathering power for an attempt to usurp Ankhtepot's power.[2],

Chronology

725 In Har’Akir, Isu Rehkotep (a young priestess of Osiris) discovers a hidden, ancient scroll which details the foul rites to command one of the Children of Anhktepot. Horrified, she attempts to destroy the scroll, but it will not burn. She hides it away, but the knowledge of its existence slowly corrupts her. [DoD pg. 17; ToD pg. 3]

738 Isu Rehkotep, now converted to the worship of Set, raises the traitorous priest Senmet as one of the living dead. Together, they begin a plot to take control of Har’Akir. [DoD pg. 17; ToD]

738 Senmet recruits the werejackal priests of Anubis to aid him in his plans to usurp control of Har’Akir. However, that very night, a mysterious fire wipes out the entire priesthood, except for the young Abu al Mir. Abu flees, and the Mists transport him to Nova Vaasa. [CotN:W pg. 49]

738 Senmet’s plot to overthrow Anhktepot is foiled; Ankhtepot’s 7th awakening. The third verse of Hyskosa’s Hexad is fulfilled. Senmet survives the failure and flees into the Mists. (Touch of Death). [DoD pg. 17; RRS; MCAI&II]

739 In the wake of Isu’s death during Senmet’s coup attempt, another woman takes Isu’s place as high priestess of Osiris: Snefru. Like Isu, Snefru is secretly truly a servant of Set. [Speculation based on DoD pg. 102]
