Set

Restored from ashes by Khepri after Horus rescued his corpse from defilement by Apophis, Set has never forgiven his rival for showing him mercy; indeed, the debt stings and rankles. Set was once a contender for the title of Protector of Nuria Natal, but the title and the temples went to Horus. This humiliation, also, Set has never forgiven. The storms and earthquakes that he commands are sometimes referred to as “Set’s anger,” and for good reason.
Depiction. Set is a god with white skin and spiky red hair similar in texture to the pelt of a donkey. His head has a black, curving snout and an animal’s ears, somewhat like an aardvark’s or a donkey’s.
Worshippers. Peasants, farmers, and watchmen are all followers of Set, for he protects the weak from the crocodile and the lion, and his priests bring healing salves and medicines to the ill and the dying. In times of strife and war, when Horus and Bastet prowl the land and banditry is everywhere, Set can be relied on as a protector, a strong force against robbery, oppression, and the hammer of law. In particular, Set confuses the gaze of the heruti (ravenfolk), and the commands of the servants of Horus, when Nuria Natal’s armies plunder farmers of their crops and steal the bread from the poor. Set’s fogs and sandstorms have saved many a silo of barley and many a herd of goats from confiscation by the troops. In addition, Set is the god of rebels, usurpers, impious nobles, and desert raiders who thrive on chaos.
Commandments

• Be humble and strong.
• Speak what you mean, and destroy your enemies utterly.
• Strike down the foul followers of Horus; they are prideful liars and unworthy of life.
• Protect farmers and peasants, for they are the true-hearted strength of Nuria Natal, and they deserve mercy more than any lordling or prince.
