''"Bitches for [[Thulsa Doom]]!"''

Just like his predecessor, Sseth also became bored and sleepy, although he still granted spells even in his dreaming state. That was up until the [[Time of Troubles]] in the realms, where all of the gods were kicked out of their respective realms and forced to the mortal world until [[Bane|one of them]] owned up to stealing the tablets of fate from Ao.

During this time, the winged avatar of Sseth decided to go for another nap, but was captured by a mighty [[Sarrukh]] priest known as ''Pil'it'ith'' and imprisoned. Allowing his cult to be subsumed by another evil god of snakes called '''Set''', who now grants all spells in Sseth's place, even though the Yuan-ti have no idea that the switch actually occurred.

Set; is the jealous personification of evil, and being a "human" deity obviously has far more followers than Sseth, and therefore more widespread appeal. This means that Set was likely to have more of a meaningful impact on the world than the successive serpent deities were managing to cobble together. He also has the added bonus of ''not'' following that trap of getting tired when sacrifices aren't being given, although presumably, he's extremely happy to receive the bloody offerings whenever they're given. 

Sseth still sleeps, hidden somewhere in the multiverse. His extent of contact with the outside world is an increasing number of disturbing visions being granted to his former followers in their dreams, though most of them don't have a clue what they're all about, other than getting a sense that their god is in trouble. The reasonable course of action is to perform more drastic rituals to empower their god, which unknowingly only empowers his captor.

Because his portfolio has been usurped, it is likely that he won't last for very long, because gods thrive on the power of prayer and faith, so Sseth is likely getting starved to death. Those Yuan-ti that have the power and inclination to do anything about it simply don't know where to look, smarter Yuan-ti realize that their power and ability to look is being granted from a new source that probably doesn't want them looking in the first place.

While this largely applies mostly to the [[Forgotten Realms]] versions of Set and Sseth, later editions split them back apart again. After the 4E [[Spellplague]] [[Mulhorand]] was completely wiped from the map and [[Ao]] kicked out the pantheon, leaving nothing but mortal descendants of the old deities. Shortly after this ''Pil'it'ith''' and his heretic followers were killed in a Yuan-Ti uprising, leaving the floor for Sseth to return to prominence as Set faded from memory.
