Set’s Blood Domain
Set’s Blood is a third-party D&D 3.x domain from Liber Mysterium: The Netbook of Witches & Warlocks. It combines serpent command, poison magic and repeated fiendish-viper summoning, and its granted power is specifically tied to the Greater Divine Dominion feat.

How Set’s Blood Plays
This is a highly thematic domain rather than a broad generalist option. Most of its progression reinforces Set’s serpent imagery by calling increasingly dangerous fiendish vipers, while Poison Touch, Reincarnate and Earthquake broaden the domain into bodily corruption, transformation and catastrophic destruction.
Set and the Domain
Set is the defining patron. The domain should stay tied to cults or divine traditions where his serpent, desert, violence or destructive aspects are already established rather than being assigned to unrelated snake-associated powers.
What Are Set’s Blood Priests Doing Now?
They are breeding sacred serpents, recovering venomous relics, infiltrating rival cults through summoned familiars and testing whether disturbances beneath the earth are omens of Set’s favour or warnings of an approaching disaster.

Rules Sources and Licensing
The granted power, feat restriction and nine-level spell progression come from Liber Mysterium: The Netbook of Witches & Warlocks, edited and developed by Timothy S. Brannan and the netbook team. The Divine Dominion and Greater Divine Dominion feat framework derives from the d20 netbook tradition and is preserved here as part of the source rules.
