Rituals & Beliefs
Very little history of Ishiti has been chronicled thus far in the Conan Universe, but what is known is the Serpent Men serve Ishiti's will in addition to Set. Even that is vague in its implications within the lore.

We know more about Ishiti in relation to the powers that she has exhibited during her appearances. It is said her scaly hide is impervious to conventional weaponry and she has the ability to spew powerful blasts of mystical energy from her maw called "Ishiti's Fire." This "fire" could transform (after repeated strikes) ordinary humans into Serpent Men. Her mouth is fanged and bite is venomous. In addition, Ishiti has the ability to stop time save for the snakes or any other living being who was bitten by an envenomed snake.

Implementation IC & In-Game
Vanilla Set religion.
