- Children of the God of Storms
- The Followers of Set are a clan bound together not only by blood, but by ties of faith. Their priests have access to secrets that would break the minds of lesser vampires; even the youngest Setite childe has passed the Gates of Revelation. They claim descent from a god, and prophecy the time of his return – and who is to prove them wrong?

- An in-depth look at the Clan of the Serpent: their rituals, dogma and ambitions
- Treatments of alternate Setite faiths, including the vodoun Children of Damballah and the bloodthirsty Tlacique
