Seth is one of the cursed gods of ancient Egypt, a disruptive divinity of the Earth in the cycle of Antiterra. Carried inside the Tarrasque at the Eiffel Tower Tournament, he was impaled atop the Eiffel Tower by Faragod.

Nature
Seth keeps his original archetype: the dark brother who murdered Osiris, left after Horus’s mutilation with a single hand to count what he lost. In Antiterra he is a divinity associated with the Earth — the original Terra, now separated, not the parallel Antiterra. He is a declared enemy of the cosmic order of the Regulators and of the system of Platforms and Guardians that the Cakravartin sustains from Atlantis.
History
- Release. The Deep Ones, not fully aware of the danger, freed him from his Atlantean underwater prison. Maleika, in one of her facets, communicated with him in the form of a turtle.
- The Tournament. Seth was represented by the Tarrasque, which carried him as a material vehicle. Inside it was a fragment of the Gem of Creation, a ruby. Near the climax Seth tried to interfere from within.
- Death. Faragod, the lightning god of Antiterra (an electric Horus), descended with a wrestling-style sneak attack and nailed him atop the Eiffel Tower. Impaled and dying, Seth bled into the water around the tower, forming a lake of blue blood. Sven tasted it.
- The Hand. The Hand of Set, the hand left to him, was kept as a relic after his death; Lotario carries it in one of his phases.
Later additions
- Seth released the tarrasque of Paris some twenty years before the final cycle, with “the Stone in its belly”.
- A divine hand of Seth rests in the tomb of the Medici, beside the hand of Luca.
- Seth is the father of Sobek, the thirteen-year-old boy who mediates between newcomers and the lord of Anubis’s divine farm.
Conflicting accounts
- One account places a Gem of Creation fragment inside the Tarrasque; another speaks of “the Stone in its belly”, possibly an echo of the Stone of the Apocalypse, later hidden in the belly of a tarrasque simulacrum in Mexico. Whether these are one motif or two artifacts is unresolved.
Open questions
- Whether the hand in the Medici tomb is the same Hand of Set that Lotario carries.
