Sseth the Deceiver

Sseth is a primordial winged serpent often associated with Yuan-ti religion.

Origin
According to legend, many millennia ago an ancient being called Wadjess gave birth to the first serpents of Londorwin. Sseth is one of these serpents.

Appearance
Sseth is depicted as a colossal winged serpent covered in deep red scales. His golden wings appear to give off a celestial yellowish energy.

In humanoid form The feathers that adorn Sseth's head are replaced with a cobra hood. His wings seem to lose their magnificence in this state as they lose their celestial glow and become simple red and yellow feathers.

In both forms, Sseth's eyes look like distant blue stars. Sseth's voice is confident and hypnotizing. Unlike most serpent beings, Sseth seems to speak with little to no sibilance in his voice.

Interests
Sseth hopes to one day have all of Londorwin worship him as a their only god. He is highly intelligent which often allows him to out think and deceive those around him.

Sseth has been worshiped differently throughout history. To the Yuan-ti he has been the god of knowledge, deceit, poison, traps, and murder.

Nyxes-ra Dynasty
This was the only period of time in which Sseth was not recognized as a deity by the Yuan-ti.

Asir-ra Dynasty
During the current dynasty of the Yuan-ti. Sseth is worshiped as the god of knowledge and messenger of the gods.

Nubisath (The Cleansing)
Towards the end of the Nyxes-ra dynasty, it is written that Sseth flew down from the sky in humanoid form. He told the Yuan-ti people that Ophissra was misleading them. He informed them that the sun serpent, Asarraj, was not their goddess reborn, but in fact a separate being entirely.

He explained that Ophissra only wished to lure them into false hope, by telling them of Nkhetiss when in fact her true goal was always to consume the world forever.

With Ophissra nowhere to be found, the Yuan-ti had no reason to question what Sseth had told them. Sseth talked of how salvation from Ophissra's wickedness could be had, if only the Yuan-ti renounced their faith in her and placed it with the true Asarraj. The majority of the Yuan-ti believed Sseth and took Asarraj as their new chief god.

With Ophissra painted as an evil god, all those who refused to stop worshiping her were enslaved, imprisoned, or in some circumstances executed. Among those who still believed in Ophissra and Nkhetiss was the Pharaoh Seknuit, her husband, and others of the royal family. The Pharaoh's son Asirkht captured her and killed his own father. He waited and executed her himself on the steps of the royal palace in the Yuan-ti capital, Emphiss. Asirkht became Pharaoh and the Asir-ra dynasty began.
