Sethaft

Sethaft is a term used in certain fantasy role-playing games to describe a specific type of magical entity. These creatures are often depicted as beings intrinsically linked to the shadowy or ethereal realms, drawing power from these dimensions. Their physical forms can vary greatly, but they are commonly characterized by their elusive nature and often malevolent intentions. Sethaft are not typically considered living in the conventional biological sense, but rather as manifestations of arcane energies or spirits.

The lore surrounding Sethaft often details their unique abilities, which may include illusion casting, incorporeality, or the manipulation of fear and negative emotions. Their origins are usually attributed to ancient magical experiments gone awry, breaches between dimensions, or the lingering essence of powerful, deceased beings. Interactions with Sethaft are generally perilous, as they are not known for their benevolence and may seek to drain life force, corrupt minds, or cause widespread chaos. Game mechanics associated with Sethaft frequently involve resistance to conventional weapons and a vulnerability to specific types of magical or holy energies. The term itself is a construct within the fictional contexts where it appears.
