Product Information

Set was said to have been Ra's lieutenant, indicating that he was fiercely loyal to him (in fact some myth states that he was the only god that helped Ra through the centuries against Apophis). Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . Other series, like the Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo, and Magnus Chase, don’t feature Percy at all. These books, however, are set in the same world. This means that names and places will be familiar.

Set, also called Seth, was born on the third Demon Day (December 29) to Geb and Nut as their third child. In time, Set would become the most powerful servant of Ra and was chiefly responsible for protecting him from Apophis. When Ra withdrew, Set was entrusted with protecting a third of the Book of Ra, which would awaken him. After his rebirth, Set married his former sister, Nephthys and fathered an estranged son named Anubis with her. When Osiris became king of the gods, Set refused to stand for it and planned to kill him. During the king's birthday celebration, he trapped Osiris inside a magnificent sarcophagus and poured molten lead into it. Declaring himself ruler, he relentlessly pursued a pregnant Isis who would give birth to a reborn Horus and resurrect Osiris. Although Osiris could not be truly revived, Horus would go on to avenge his father's murder by dethroning Set. There were scences in which i wanted to cry all out and make a ocean. There were scences whrn people thought that I had just taken some laughing gas. The starting and ending of the series was delicately planned. The characters were planned in such beautiful manner. It was all so greatly planned. In The Red Pyramid, Set was first considered to be the main villain, but he later helps fight against Apophis, the actual villain. This makes him similar to Hades in The Lightning Thief, who later helped fight against Kronos. Set's role, however, is initially more sinister in the first book than Hades's. Now, I have given you some idea about this wonderful and awsome series. Also, I would like to talk about the last book. The last Olmpian. It's not easy being a half-blood these days. Even a simple game of dodgeball becomes a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants - and that was only the beginning.Anubis, despite being Set's son, has never actually met him before The Serpent's Shadow. Anubis is reluctant to admit to Sadie that Set is his father, but helps in defeating him by giving them the Feather of Truth to save Osiris, the only family he ever had. His true form in the Duat, however is, as Sadie describes it, a mountain of sand, doused with petrol, set on fire, spinning in the world's largest blender. Jason and the Roman Demigod forces destroy the Titan base at Mount Othrys, with Jason defeating Krios with his own hands.

Massive Strength: Set has incredible strength, even for a god. He once simply stamped the floor and it shook from the force, and made all of the other gods present "topple over each other like dominoes". As Ra's lieutenant, he was strong enough to help Ra fight against Apophis. Set has multiple forms due to shape-shifting capabilities, and has appeared in several ways, but always contains some form of the color red, throughout the series.

He has assured fans that a repeat of the 2010 and 2013 movies will not be the case for the new Disney+ show which will premiere in December 2023. Riordan says that the show will finally deliver a faithful adaptation and that it is the depiction of Percy on screen that everyone has been waiting for.The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened.

All the while, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. Despite the mild love and trust they have, Nephthys gave away their only son, Anubis, to be raised by Osiris and Isis. She claimed that she did so so that did not want their son to grow up with him or for Anubis to meet his father. In fact, Set could be considered more similar to Ares, as he was being manipulated by Apophis much in the same way Ares was being manipulated by Kronos. More so, both Set and Ares are gods of war.

After Apophis and Ra, Set is one of the strongest of the gods and is tied in strength only by Osiris and Horus. He has been stated to be their greatest warrior making him Ra's second-in-command.

The two apparently meet for the first time when they battle the rebels together and Set is impressed when Anubis kills Sarah Jacobi, complimenting him on his actions. However, Anubis shows dislike towards him and his praise telling him "shut up, Father". Percy and the Greek Demigod forces successfully fend off the Titan Army from Manhattan and save Mount Olympus. Despite the two being married, Nephtys and Set do not seem to trust one another all that much. Although she does love him, Nephthys knows that Set is dangerous and aids in the battle against him. It is hinted that Set loves the water goddess as well, as when she betrays Set to let Isis escape, he does not harm her. Also Set has told Nephthys his Secret Name, showing some evidence of love and trust to a certain degree. One criticism the movie adaptations received is how the main trio was aged up for the screen. The new adaptation will remain true to the character’s ages in the books, with a younger trio cast. The exact years the books take place in are unknown, as the literary universe references pop culture that has come out years after it ended if the starting year for the series is 2005, such as movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken). The demigods rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that’s not all that awaits them. The titan lord Kronos has devised his most treacherous plot yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey. It's also possible that they originally began dating in secret during the summer of the Battle of the Labyrinth, and it had come out by The Last Olympian Set seems to hold a strong hatred for Osiris, possibly because Osiris replaced Ra, who he was fiercely loyal to, as the Pharaoh of the gods. Set has made many spiteful actions against Osiris and seems to actively attempt to cause him suffering, such as encasing him in molten led and leaving him in a state that he can not leave the land of the dead. Magnus Chase was said to have been homeless for two years before The Sword of Summer, placing the time of his mother's death between The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian.That’s because the flow may feel disrupted with the short stories that are scattered throughout the timeline. As well, since Riordan was writing multiple series over the span of many years, there is overlap throughout the universe with events taking place at the same time. Some of the short stories are also hard to place within the timeline, because trying to line up seasons, ages, and events within the overall timeline with the main books can be challenging. Infertility: When he was fighting Horus, he lost a testicle, that is why the deserts where always infertile.

He was viewed as a benevolent god and protector, though he has a long history of feuding with Horus. When Upper and Lower Egypt merged, the followers of Horus gained power and increasingly demonized Set. He went from being a chief god to Ra's protector, to being merged with Apophis. Despite this, he was still in some areas a major god and has had several revivals. Hades and his Undead Army successfully defend the Empire State Building from the remaining Titan forces.
