(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 America to india and everything in between has felt at least some presence of the Setites. While the Setites expand the power of their clan by recruiting many, they continue their old ways of corroding the local power structures by corrupting everyone inside of it.

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 temple of Set somewhere in Africa, where a Methuselah who was directly sired by Set preaches in his name.

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.
