Page "Baator" Paragraph 44

Ankhwugat is the realm of Set.

Set is the dark master of the desert, lord of serpents, jackals, assassins, and creatures of the wild.

Though dark waters flow underneath his realm, its surface is hot and dry as the sands of Pelion, and those familiar with the realm of Nephythys there will see Ankhwugat as a twisted reflection of that one.

When Set and Nephythys divorced, Set went to Stygia to forget his pain.

Perhaps once all Stygia was like Ankhwugat, and perhaps, if Set has his way, it will be again.

Some claim that Set is mad and wishes to transform the layer or even turn his realm into a new outer plane set between Baator and Acheron.

Others say he only wishes to reunite with his estranged wife Nephythys, and that the mad ones are the baatezu who try to earn his favor.

The common chant says that Set and Levistus are headed toward a showdown.

The will of a Lord of the Nine is supposed to be absolute in his layer, but Set has the good will of Ra and Levistus is imprisoned in ice.
