The ancient
Drow god of opposition named Set is much of the reason modern historians
have linked the Drow with the ancient Egyptians, instead of the normal
belief that they are bastardized sylvans.
Set, with the head of atyphonian beast
in classical myth, appears mostly as a tall, dark man, grim visaged and
bespectacled, dressed in black and carrying a wicked little walking stick.
His name inspires fear, though he is terribly cordial when met ... it is
said, however, that his quick temper can quickly end someone up at the
wrong end of his wrath. Much of his tale can only be learned from the Drow
of Elysium.
Those most loyal receive the Mark
of Set, a mystical tattoo which grants its wearer power. Set's brother
Ausar is known as the uneniable wave of history, and it is he who Set primarily
opposes. However, anything which seems destined, expecially foolishly or
arrogantly, Set is said to stand against.
Set can be distracted momentarily by word
games, and loves to throw quests to amuse himself by mortal scrambling.
His most ardent adherent is named Hannibal Tabu, a truly powerful and evil
Drow on Elysium, and has a foothold in some other realms as well. |
