Set
The Egyptian god of desert, storm, violence, and disruptive power.
Legend File
Set is not just evil in Egyptian religion; he is dangerous force, desert strangeness, storm, violence, and political rupture. In the Osiris cycle he murders Osiris and contests Horus, becoming the face of disorder. Yet some traditions also need his strength against cosmic enemies, making him a tense figure where protection and chaos meet.
