Setam, the Goddess of Nerves

100-word Placeholder God submission no 2

185 xp 2,685 views

Setam, also known as the Mistress of Critical Junctures, holds power in a seemingly innocuous domain that in fact might save or doom a mortal- nervousness. According to records, Setam was once mortal. She was the priestess-princess of an ancient tribe who often hesitates and dawdles over decisions because of nerves. Long before her transcendence, tribe members have a tradition of invoking her name whenever they come to important decision points. In fact, some argue that this ‘belief' is what made her transcend into godhood. Nowadays, Setam is revered by individuals in leadership positions and the indecisive.

Rare mark

Hall of Honour

for Setam, the Goddess of Nerves

The Hall of Honour is your mark on a submission you believe is frick’n awesome — so good you would jump in front of a dragon’s breath to protect the scroll it is written on.

Bestowing HoH also highlights it on the front of the Citadel for about a day, so others see the recognition it earned.

You may bestow HoH on the same submission up to your level (with a short wait between strikes). Five distinct HoH voters raise a work to Golden.

    I am always impressed when someone manages to fit a complete idea in such a short space.

    Thanks for all the positive feedback on this. Personally, I like UU slightly better but I think I can say that personally I fall into one of the categories that revere her, at least at the moment.

    This is clever, and well done given the length constraint.

    I want to use this in my current campaign, do you see her as helping or causing the indecisiveness?

      the belief is that it depends on whether you pay homage to her, she would aid you in this aspect if you pay proper respect to her and be a disruptive influence otherwise.
