== Organization ==
Before Autonomy could attack Scadrial, Telsin somehow managed to convince Autonomy to give the Set a chance to take over the planet again. Autonomy, ever appreciative of bold, ambitious actions, responded by Investing Telsin as her avatar. However, she also granted Telsin a deadline before which the world would have to find itself under Set's control, as on a specific date, the artificial [[perpendicularity]] she was creating to let her armies in would be opened.{{book ref|mb7|59}}
 
 
=== Bilming ===
 
Over the six years following the death of Edwarn, the Set fully took control of the city of [[Bilming]] on behalf of Autonomy, up to developing it with accordance to Autonomy's philosophy and using Taldain architecture.{{book ref|mb7|20}} At the same time, they conducted underground tests in order to create a [[trellium]]-[[harmonium]] bomb.{{book ref|mb7|19}} The key part of the plan -- and the part of it meant to impress Autonomy -- was the delivery device: a self-propelled rocket, something that Autonomy herself was yet to figure out.{{book ref|mb7|66}}
 
   
While in Bilming, Wax and his team, as well as a group of [[Ghostbloods]], began to unravel Set's plan. Later that day, when Wax confronted Telsin, Harmony briefly disrupted Autonomy's link to her, causing Telsin to fall unconscious.{{book ref|mb7|66}} When Telsin came to, Autonomy abandoned her willingly, having apparently given up on her and her plans.{{book ref|mb7|69}} After Wax and Wayne destroyed the Set's bomb, while Marasi destroyed the perpendicularity intended for the [[men of gold and red]], Autonomy begrudgingly withdrew from Scadrial, acknowledging their victory.{{book ref|mb7|74}}
 
 
== Organization ==
 
 
The Set is an organization with a strict hierarchy among their ranks, codenames are used to indicate where one is in this hierarchy.{{wob ref|15848}} The highest rank among them is 'The Key' who serves as the organization's leader.{{book ref|mb7|21}} Each rank within the set must immediately report to the rank above them, serving at their direct orders, despite this rigidity however [[Autonomy]] encourages its members to be bold and thus it is common for those on the bottom rungs to try and climb up the organization.{{book ref|mb7|35}} The lowest ranked members, Cycles, are those in charge of local hired muscle, this muscle is granted no rank themselves.{{book ref|mb7|3}}
