Followers of Set

Nickname: Serpents, Sand-Snakes The Followers of Set, or Setites, make up one of the most widely loathed clans in the world. They are the masters of moral and spiritual corruption, exploiting the weaknesses in any organization or individual. They believe that the power of decay and corruption is absolute. No one is immune. They claim to be able to trace their lineage back to the Egyptian Dark God Set himself, though the truth of this statement remains unrevealed. Entrenched in the Caribbean and West Indies, encroaching into South America, embattled with the Osirians to reclaim North Africa. This combat unwittingly provides a buffer zone which keeps the African Jyhad from spilling north into Europe. Where there's slaves or drugs, eventually you'll find a snake. The war in the Nile Valley has caused several changes in the way the Followers of Set handle themselves - their mortal pawns have a severely shortened lifespan, and the elders of the clan have suffered brutal winnowing at the hands of both the Shesmu-Heru and the Bane Mummies. Many of the Warriors and Priests of the clan have returned to Egypt to protect and serve the hierarchy and elders. Outside of Egypt, the stereotype of Setites as drug and gun runners has been strengthened by their efforts to keep up with modern man's 'needs'. Let there be no doubt, though, that the Setites' temples and priesthoods remain in fairly good repair, bringing to the masses the salvation of all-encompassing love of the Lord Set and all it entails.
