I must admit that even if I play the current GM of the Tahtetso, I have a terrible gap in my knowledge about Master Setmos, the guild tutor of the Tahtetso. I am currently writing a play that features him quite a bit, and I would like to check on if some things fit. Has anyone, perhaps, a log of him arriving to Celest? What else is known of him from those times?

He "bugs" me.

BUAHAHAHA

I hate you, Desitrus.

Now stop derailing this thread. I want some answerrs.

No logs, but both Osierti and Setmos were sent by Zenobia as part of the pact that formed when Celenwilde freed the Hives from slavery, sealed the Illithoid and then raised Zenobia. That's the general gist of the background. All I remember from both events is that the two of them kept wigging out whenever a girl showed up to be inducted, since they're not supposed to fight.

If your play includes Zenobia, here's her impossible-to-find-nowadays desc:

Zenobia the Queen of Queens is an enormous kephera queen, twice as large as
other kephera queens. She has an enormous distended abdomen which glows with an
inner emerald light. She wears a golden toga over her thorax, encrusted with
diamonds. Her compound eyes are alight with an inner fire, flaring with an
intensity and intelligence. Though her movements are languorous and deliberate,
there is a sense of great power humming under the surface of her placid
demeanor.

Edit: More specifically, 'Celenwilde' was later then pit against itself when Zenobia started a scavenger hunt. They didn't know at the time, but whoever won would get monks first, and the second placer (Celest) would get a nice chunk of power.

There was really nothing special about his arrival to Celest. He walked up to the NW gate and said "Here I am" and we went over and escorted him to the park. He spoke little, then went into meditation until monks were ready to be released.

I suggest you take some artistic interpretation to it...

Our monk tutor held some interesting (read: funny) training sessions... In one of which a Seren had to kick him, promptly scored a world-crit and killed our tutor. So he continued teaching as corpse.. ahem... (If anyone has a log of this, it was hilarious).

Pretty sure someone posted a quote of it at the time...it was Xiphoid punching him as I recall.

See, I always said Xiphoid should be perma enemied to the Shofangi.
