Combat Talents
Normal Attack: Royal Reed Archery
Normal Attack Performs up to 3 consecutive shots with a bow. Charged Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, the power of Electro will accumulate on the arrowhead before the arrow is fired. Has different effects based on how long the energy has been charged: ·Charge Level 1: Fires off an arrow carrying the power of lightning that deals Electro DMG. ·Charge Level 2: Fires off a Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, dealing Electro DMG to enemies along its path. After the Shadowpiercing Shot is fully charged, Sethos cannot move around. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands
Gathers the might of thunder, dealing AoE Electro DMG and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Overloaded, Quicken, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, or Electro Swirl reactions, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy.
"The God indwelt Priest, the Magi who turned pits to springs, the singers of the sea of sand still spread their stories... But I know those are not legends, for they are our ancestors."
Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer
Perform a secret rite, entering the "Twilight Meditation" state, during which Sethos's Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos's Elemental Mastery. Sethos cannot perform Aimed Shots while in this state. DMG dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered Charged Attack DMG. This effect will be canceled when Sethos leaves the field. The archives of the Temple of Silence preserve many tomes left behind by Akhtamun, from the era of King Deshret. Many secret rituals of great power are recorded within, but even among the Temple of Silence, very few could master them.
Passive Talents
Black Kite's Enigma
When Aiming, the charging time is decreased by 0.285s based on each point of Sethos's current Elemental Energy. Charging time can be reduced to a minimum of 0.3s through this method and a maximum of 20 Energy can be tallied. If a Shadowpiercing Shot is fired, consume the tallied amount of Elemental Energy; if it is a Charge Level 1 shot, then consume 50% of the tallied amount of Elemental Energy.
The Sand King's Boon
Sethos gains the "Scorching Sandshade" effect, increasing the DMG dealt by Shadowpiercing Shots by 700% of Sethos's Elemental Mastery.
The Scorching Sandshade effect will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met:
· 5s after a Shadowpiercing Shot first hits an opponent.
· After 4 Shadowpiercing Shots strike opponents.
When a Shadowpiercing Shot affected by Scorching Sandshade first hits an opponent, Sethos will regain Scorching Sandshade after 15s.

Quotes
Hello
Sorry {M#Sir}{F#Ma'am}, were you looking for me? Hello, hello, I'm Sethos. What can I do for you? ...Actually, you know what? This seems like more of a sit-down conversation. Come with me, I know a good place.
Chat: Thinking
If you're always asking "Why?", you end up thinking yourself into a corner. Sometimes, it's better to let go.
Chat: Commotion
Do you hear that? Something's going on over there. I wanna go check it out — early bird gets the worm.
Chat: School
There's a lot of very fascinating people in the Akademiya... kinda makes me wanna go study there.
When It Rains
No umbrella for me, thanks. It hardly ever rains in the desert, so I'm gonna enjoy this while I can.
When Thunder Strikes
No no no... Quick, let's get to lower ground!
When It Snows
*shudder* ...Quick quick quick, let's pick up the pace! Jogging will warm us up!
When the Sun Is Out
The weather's so perfect, it would be such a waste not to go camping. How does fishing in an oasis sound?
In the Desert
Have you ever tried drawing in the sand? From up high, it makes for an incredible sight! But you need to pick somewhere less exposed to the wind.
Good Morning
Goooood morning, wanna join me for breakfast? I'm gonna fix some Shawarma Wraps — I've been craving them since last night.
Good Afternoon
It's tempting to have a coffee at this hour, but it'll ruin your afternoon nap.
Good Evening
The desert's a pretty lifeless place during the day, but you can't beat the view of the stars at night.
Good Night
I'm gonna hit the hay. Wanna catch the sunrise tomorrow.
About Sethos: Impression
Some of my elders say I'm difficult to control, like a wild animal. I actually don't disagree with that, but don't you think it's kind of an issue that they'd want to control how other people think in the first place?
About Sethos: Leadership
To be honest, being a leader is a little stressful, especially in the Temple of Silence. But after all the years I spent with Grandfather, I'm at least clear in my own mind about the areas where I cannot compromise. After the Rite of Duels, and having been given the chance to make so many new friends, I now know the direction I want to take the Temple of Silence in from here on out. Don't worry — I won't mess it up.
About Us: Chitchat
When you approach someone while intending to ingratiate yourself with them, it often makes for a stilted conversation. It's much easier to build up a rapport by just hanging out and talking about whatever.
About Us: Bonfire
Lighting a bonfire at night keeps you warm and keeps wild animals away. To me, you're just like a bonfire. Too abstract? Alright, let me put it more directly: I think of you as a good friend.
About the Vision
When desert people receive a Vision, everyone will claim it's a blessing from such-and-such a god, depending on their faith. Watching them get into an argument over someone else's Vision, about who's stronger out of Lord Hermanubis and Lord Sobek, is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Something to Share
If you're ever traveling in the desert, journeying by night is a good choice. It does get very cold, but you don't get as dehydrated as you would under the harsh sun. Putting on a few extra layers is way easier than spending half your journey time looking for a water source.
Interesting Things
I don't know where Mourning Flowers got their name, it's quite an evocative image though. Maybe somebody saw one wilting in the sunlight and thought it looked like a person hanging their head in sorrow.
About Cyno
Cyno is truly outstanding — absolutely a worthy heir to Hermanubis's power. As General Mahamatra, he has the utmost reverence for knowledge and wisdom. If the Akademiya and the Temple of Silence do start working together again, I'll take comfort in the fact that he's there. Oh yeah, and another great thing about Cyno: You know the way he talks? It's just... so funny.
About Tighnari
Tighnari's made of strong stuff. I only found out after the fact that he doesn't cope well with the desert climate — never would've guessed from how he performed in the Rite of Duels. I was also surprised when he sent me a letter inviting me to visit Gandharva Ville, saying it would be a good chance to meet some of Cyno's friends. Are those guys always such a hoot with their jokes? Dinner with them must be hilarious — I can't wait!
About Alhaitham and Kaveh
I saw those two at the tavern once. And another time at the cafe. ...Actually, I think I saw them once at the Grand Bazaar, too. The architect guy, he's always talking in a hushed tone — I guess he doesn't want people to hear, but uh... Okay, it's not like I purposely listen in, it's just... Something about those two guys hanging out together, you just can't look away.
About the Wanderer
Who is that guy, anyway? A foreign exchange student, or something? He has a pretty incredible hat, never seen anything like it. I tried to get a closer look once, but then I blinked and he was gone. Shame. I won't let him get away next time, though. I also hear he has some pretty interesting ideas... Gotta have a chat with him sometime!
About Dehya
Flame-Mane... everyone in the desert knows that name. The Eremites aren't exactly saints, as I'm sure you know, but Dehya's one of the few solid and dependable ones out there. If you ever want to explore the Great Red Sand, Dehya's the second-best guide you could ask for. First-best being me, obviously.
About Candace
Have you ever experienced Candace's hospitality? She cooks very generous portions — even I could barely finish. So long as you're on the receiving end of her hospitality and not her wrath, you'll live a long and happy life.
About Faruzan
It's so rare to meet someone even more chummy than me! One minute I was taking a stroll near the Akademiya, the next minute she'd taken me on as a student, and was insisting on giving me a tour. She gave me a real fright, though, because she said that if I joined Haravatat, I'd get the 20-tongues language-learning package, mastery of all 100% guaranteed... I asked around, and it seems like that's just an in-joke among Akademiya students — there is no 20-language graduation requirement after all. But I don't get it... how is that funny? It's only gonna put people off studying there.
About Nilou
I usually can't stay still for more than a few minutes, but Zubayr Theater is one place I don't mind just standing and watching while Nilou dances on the stage. It's a rare skill to be able to bring people such a sense of peace.
More About Sethos: I
You got questions? You've come to the right person. On the off chance I don't have the answers, I can ask around and help you find out.
More About Sethos: II
If you've any equipment or tools that need repairing, I can help you with that. ...What's my job? Well, I'm an unemployed vagrant, obviously. I wouldn't have the time to be such a handyman otherwise, would I?
More About Sethos: III
I like going on hiking trips. I always map out my route, pack a bag, and pick a good day. I enjoy having it all carefully planned out. Of course, you gotta leave some flexibility in your schedule, too — you might make a new friend along the way.
More About Sethos: IV
I always have a great time at the Grand Bazaar. I like to pick a bunch of different herbs and spices to mix with some freshly grilled meat. I never make a note of the exact combination of ingredients though, so I usually end up with one-off recipes. What do you think? Any interest in trying one of my limited-edition, one-time-only delicacies?
More About Sethos: V
I've lived in the Temple of Silence for as long as I can remember, and to be honest, I've never had many of my own decisions to make. I'm still not sure if withstanding the power of Hermanubis was a blessing or a curse, but it definitely gave me a higher purpose in life. There's a million things you can regret in life, so I'm just happy I was able to bring that one situation to a close. I'm sure Grandfather will rest in peace knowing that I got to become the leader of the Temple of Silence, and that Hermanubis's power has finally found a home.
Sethos's Hobbies
I get bored when I'm inside for too long. I always like exploring the great outdoors, whatever the weather might be like.
Sethos's Troubles
You have to be fully prepared before you venture out on a trip, especially when you're going somewhere you haven't been before. The first time I spent the night in the rainforest, I didn't realize that I should've brought a waterproof groundsheet... That was a miserable night.
Favorite Food
I like mixing spices — but only because it makes meat taste better. It's a means to an end.
Least Favorite Food
Green vegetables are nice to look at and all, but eating them... Ehh.
Receiving a Gift: I
Mm, mm, mm! I'm kind of a big eater, hope that's okay with you?
Receiving a Gift: II
Not bad! What's the recipe? I'll take some on my next hiking trip.
Receiving a Gift: III
Hmm... hmm... Nope, I can't really taste anything. Let me try some more...
Birthday
You know, your hair would look amazing if it was done up in a desert-dweller style... How about kicking off the next year of your life with a new hairdo, huh? If you're up for it, just leave it to me. You'll look glamorous, I promise you.
Feelings About Ascension: Intro
This is your training regimen, huh? Interesting.
Feelings About Ascension: Building Up
Wow... So this is what three consecutive days of reading feels like.
Feelings About Ascension: Climax
Amazing... I feel like I could sprint from Aaru Village all the way to The Mausoleum of King Deshret without breaking a sweat. I'm not even joking — you up for it?
Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion
I had no idea you'd help me reach this level. Sometimes, an over-reliance on ancient wisdom can make you forget the strength that you and your companions already have. Thank you for being there to remind me.
