| Description: |
 | Set Is a scaled humanoid with the head of a fierce jackal. He is totally dedicated to the spreading of evil. Ceremonies in the name of Set are always bloody rituals usually involving human sacrifice. Priests of Set wear black robes and carry sharp ceremonial daggers. No snakes will attack priests of Set and, at higher levels, these priests gain the ability to control ophidians. Set has many sons who are offspring of various succubi and she-devils. These sons are usually monstrous creatures of ghastly countenance and no two look even remotely alike. The four most powerful of these are the Chosen Sons of Set while the others are referred to as Lesser Sons of Set. The Minions of Set form the bulk of Set’s demonic army. These creatures appear as humans clad in black scaly plate mail and wielding broadswords. They also have the ability to polymorph themselves into giant, poisonous snakes. They act as go-betweens for Set and his earthly followers.
Set is the implacable enemy of Mitra Pureheart and will attempt to thwart him through others whenever possible. The worship of Set is usually referred to as the “Snake Cult” while the priests are “Snake Priests”.
Set was born a demon of the pale but. Through ambition and cunning, rose to become one of the Gods of Putarrha. |
