Set (Intermediate God)
A cold and calculating god, Set is the jealous personification of evil. He always acts against the interests of mankind and the other gods of Egypt. His followers are a dark and scorned lot who work under
cover of darkness and keep themselves cloaked in treachery and deceit.
Set was the son of Geb and Nuth. His birth was horrific by any measure, for he tore himself free from his mother’s womb and sprang upon the world as a foul and hideous thing. Although he has the body of a human male, his head is that of a jackal. Set’s supreme act of evil was murdering the god Osiris.
Roleplaying Tips
Set guards his power and his secrets carefully. He is always looking for ways to recruit new followers and disrupt the churches of the other Egyptian gods. Despite his loathsome nature, Set takes good care of his followers and will not willingly betray or abandon his people.
