Clanbook: Setites is a sourcebook for the Followers of Set. It was subtitled, Children of the Endless Night. Like all Clanbooks, it was later updated with a revised edition.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

Sharper than a Serpent's tooth... I wish you joy o'th' Worm!
We are the small voice that whispers to you in the lonely hours of the night. We call to the darkness within all of you. We came from the dark, and to the dark we shall all return...
Called the corrupt by even the most crooked Ventrue, the Setites are almost universally mistrusted and feared by the clans of the Camarilla, and scorned by the Sabbat for their unwillingness to share in the Vaulderie.

Memorable Quotes[]

Then God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, be accursed beyond all cattle, all wild beasts. You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust every day of your life."
- Genesis 3:14

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire, I use a cobra snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house on the roadside, made from rattlesnake hide. I got a brand new chimney made on top, made of a human skull. Come on take a little walk with me, and honey tell me, who do you love?
- The Jesus and Mary Chain, "Who Do You Love?"

Well you know the story of the viper, it's long and lean with a poison tooth.
-Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Jack the Ripper"

We are special, we are perfect, we were born in the sight of God, we were born in the sight of God. Our suffering bodies will suffer no more, our suffering bodies will suffer no more. We are children. Children of God.
- Swans, "Children of God"

As the books burn and a peculiar kind of darkness falls clutching men's hearts, consuming bones as a frozen star beckons a crumbling of idols beyond a cold sanctuary of fire and of ice deep in the bedrock already here I come.
- Lustmord, "Heresy"

I can resist anything, except temptation.
Oscar Wilde, "Lady Windermere's Fan"

I had a dream, which was not all a dream. That the bright sun was extinguished, and the stars did wander darkling in the eternal space, rayless and pathless, and the icy earth swung blind and blackening in the moonless air; morn came and went - and came and brought no day, and men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation; and all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light.
- George Gordon, Lord Byron, "Darkness"

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, farewell remorse; all good to me is lost; evil, be thou my good; by thee at least divided empire with heaven's King I hold, by thee, and more than half perhaps will reign...
- Milton, "Paradise Lost"

To thee, o Satan, glory be, and praise, in Heaven, once thy kingdom, the abyss of Hell, where now, thy dreamest silently! Grant that my soul, on day, beneath the Tree of Knowledge, may rest near thee, when o'erhead, like a new Temple, its wide branches spread!
- Charles Baudelaire, "Prayer"

Devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest. Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress. Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness. I now know the depths I reach are limitless.
- Nine Inch Nails, "Reptile"

And some of us were human once, and some have never heard the name of Earth, abominations of a monstrous birth out of the womb of nightmare...
- Lin Carter, "The Million Favored Ones"
