Other Factions

The Cohort is an example of Setite fundamentalism. It is dominated by Setites that claim to be led by Wepwawet, the warrior childe of Set and Egyptian god of war. In recent decades, they have fanatically tried to force Warrior Setite doctrine (the “true and ancient Theophidian doctrine”) upon other factions and temples so that they fall in line with the Cohort’s own orthodox views. The subsequent backlash created the Serpents of the Light. Consequently, the Cohort have decided to embrace a number of different tactics — albeit reluctantly in many cases.

While the majority of the Cohort focuses on trying to achieve tangible victories against the servants of the Aeons, such as the Society of Leopold, a small handful of the Cohort’s membership has taken to learning Akhu. The comparatively subtle ways of Akhu may be counterpoint to the normally visceral methods of the Cohort, but it is a gesture that has not gone unnoticed by other factions. The Cohort hopes that this will rebuild its connection to the wider Setite community. Once they have built up enough goodwill with their brethren, they hope to continue their campaign of unification under the banner of Wepwawet — but perhaps with more subtlety.
