Minions of Set are proxies of Set (of the Egyptian and Muhlorandi pantheon). In their natural form, the minions appear to be warriors wielding enchanted swords and dressed in black, scaly plate mail armor. Sometimes they are mistaken for adventurers, since these are people they most closely resemble, yet they are far from human. The minions of Set are endowed with the power to change into an animal. The second shape is most often that of a giant snake, but a few are able to assume the forms of cave bears and giant crocodiles. The transformation is complete, including clothing and weapons, leaving no traces of their human guises behind. As is clear by their name, the minions of Set are the agents of that evil god. They are his special proxies. Once petitioners from the lower planes, Set imbued them with special powers needed to carry out his will. Since they rose from petitioner stock, minions of Set cannot be raised, reincarnated, or even spoken to after death. At that point, their essences are forever lost to oblivion. Nevertheless, the minions are not fools or automatons. They are fully intelligent beings, capable of sophisticated strategies, who act as go-betweens for Set and all other creatures in the multiverse. They command Set's forces during those times when he is drawn into the Blood War, watch over his petitioners, and even carry out his will on the Prime Material Plane. They are also implacable enemies. To defy the will of Set, as defined by the priests, is to embrace a death sentence unless every minion with knowledge of the defiance is destroyed. An offended minion of Set is tantamount to an entire sect of enemies for life.
