(Setites)
![]() | The most universally reviled and mistrusted of all clans are the Setites, who hide in the darkest corners of the world. From there, they pay homage to their dark ancestor Set by corrupting all sentient beings in the world into their servitude. Using all the temptations known to man, money, drugs, power, women, even vitea and supernatural lore to draw others in their web of servitude. How far this web reaches…only the Setites know. Disciplines: Obfuscate, Presence, Serpentis Nickname: Serpents

Dark Ages
Spreading out from the reaches of north Africa into Asia
and other parts of the world, the Setites continually work on expanding
their influence over mortals and cainites alike. Though the Setites
currently mainly populate areas where few, if any, other kindred live,
the effect of their presence is almost always known by the local
kindred…right when it’s too late to stop it.
Modern Day
The coils of the Setites have spread far and wide. From
Embraces
The
Setites generally only embrace those who serve them, and only those
that are highly intelligent. Red hair is generally seen as the mark of
Set, so these individuals are even more likely to be embraced.
Havens
While younger Setites aren’t above choosing the most practical of havens, the elders of the clan treat
haven-building as a reverential process. Most use alchemical rituals to
consecrate their havens with the power of Set, and many adorn their
havens with objects of art and worship.
As a clan
Individually, Setites
act much like other vampires, maintaining herds, acquiring power, and
suborning rivals. Nor is one Setite automatically immune to the
predation of a rival – the clan takes a Darwinian approach even among
its own ranks. Survival of the fittest roots out the weak and ensures
only the strong make it to the top of the clan. Communally, though,
Serpents usually organize themselves into temples where they can
exchange lore and practice their rites, the oldest of those present is
usually in charge. According to vague rumors, there is a grand
Strength
The strength of clan
Setite, lies in it’s Serpentis discipline, which channels the
corruptive and devastating magic of their snake god at their enemies.
Many ancient rituals which only the Setite know are practised through
this discipline.
Weakness
More then any other
vampire clan, even the Lasombra, the Setites are harmed by the light of
day. Their dark god’s blessings mean even the slightest touch of
sunlight could cause irreparable harm to a Setite. In fact, even
artificial light which no other kindred needs fear can harm the frail
eyes of a Setite, blinding them for a short period of time.
