Egyptian gods are real. Most mortals can't perceive the supernatural things that happen as a result of all these shenanigans due to a magic "veil" of sorts called the Mist. The Mist alters the perception of those without godly blood so that they see things as if things were normal; a large Egyptian monster would look like a truck, another humanoid one would look like a regular guy. Magicians, however, can see through the Mist and know things for what they really are. There are also some rare "clear-sighted" mortals who can see through the Mist, though most are treated as insane by other mortals if they were to tell people of what they saw. Monsters can only be killed in a few ways, most notably by weapons forged out of magical materials and magic itself. Unfortunately, monsters don't die permanently—they reform back on Earth eventually after spending some time in Chaos, the churning force of anarchy.

Gods can't exist on Earth in their true form for more than a few moments—not without risking their magic causing nuclear bomb levels of destruction, which is why they usually inhabit things like statues made in their likeness, one of their sacred animals, or even amulets. But they prefer humans. Most other vessels can't handle a god's full essence, but a fairly powerful magician can for a surprising amount of time—hell, even regular people can take about a minute or so before disintegrating. Which is why godlings exist.

A godling is a person who houses a god. Only a few deities try to work together with the mortal whose body they inhabit, while the majority simply take full control of their host, subduing the godling's consciousness one way or another. Gods who opt for the former are usually able to channel more divine power through their hosts at the price of possible disagreements hindering them, while those who opt for the latter aren't able to use their abilities to their fullest without the godling's body quite literally burning up, especially if the mortal was actively fighting against them.

The "Eye" of a god is a godling who, in an act of full cooperation and trust from both deity and mortal, essentially merged with the god for a time, sharing both bodies and memories before separating.

The House of Life is composed of Egyptian magicians who are trained to fight and trap gods—all of them, regardless their domains, though, of course, gods like Set were obviously higher priority. Their reasoning to capture even the "good ones" (since even the best deities were either morally grey or obsessed with the greater good, disregarding mortal lives) was that no matter the god, intentional or not, even if one gets loose, they'll start a chain-reaction that causes everyone else to be freed, resulting in an increase of Chaos, the force of anarchy. Magicians stand for Ma'at, the force of order.

The date is January 4th, 2011. Christmas of 2010 was very eventful. Long story short, Sadie first met Isis and stopped Set's plan to destroy most of North America. However, since she allied with a god, she is considered an enemy of the House of Life.

As Sadie is already a fairly skilled Magician in her own right, she's very formidable when she taps into the power of Isis. Her tyet necklace also functions as a communication device with the rest of Isis, in case the bit of Isis in the amulet didn't provide her enough power.

Sadie is British. She sometimes (keyword: sometimes) uses British slang.
