Nephis/History

## Childhood

It turned out, Nephis was protected by Asterion during her childhood. The Great Clans had been trying to kill her, but they failed. Initially, it was believed that the task was not important or the Domains were constrained by acting in secret. However, learning about the great clans and their operations, they could slaughter anyone they wanted with impunity, except for each other. Asterion's involvement in constraining Valor and Song's attempts to get rid of her could explain a lot.

As the last daughter of the Immortal Flame clan, she is the last carrier of Sun God's lineage. Asterion has prevented this lineage from being snuffed out and taken Mordret from Anvil. It is almost as if he is collecting the carriers of divine lineages. All god lineages had already been found except for the carrier of Shadow God's lineage. Shadow God's lineage has been hidden for years. Nephis' suspicion is that Asterion remains passive because he was waiting for it to reveal itself.

* Establishment of Dreamer Army
* Siege of the Crimson Spire

## Two-Year Journey in Dream Realm Alone

After Nephis killed the Crimson Terror, the Spire became unstable. The Gateway collapsed, and the tower itself soon followed. The artificial sun of the Forgotten Shore was extinguished submerging it into absolute darkness. The labyrinth itself perished, too, the crimson coral turning grey and slowly crumbling to dust. With no sea, no sun, and most Nightmare Creatures eradicated by the culling, it became a lightless and desolate place.

She traveled back to the Dark City and spent some time hunting down the remaining abominations and preparing for a long journey. With the help of the *Dawn Shard* and the *Nameless Sun*, many powerful Nightmare Creatures fell to her blade. For a while, she entertained the idea of trying to cross the Hollow Mountains but eventually had to abandon it.

She knew that the deadly mountain chain stretched further than Ravenheart in the west. There was no passage there and going north meant moving further away from human Citadels. So, it only left east. There was a chance that the Hollow Mountains were not as tall and unassailable there, or even that there was an end to them somewhere in those unexplored regions. She left the Dark City and retraced the steps of the journey that she, Cassie, and Sunny had made before avoiding the Ashen Barrow.

She eventually reached the edges of the Forgotten Shore and crossed into a vast and terrible desert. The desert had once been the site of a great battle or maybe that land had been turned into a lifeless desert by the battle instead. Following along the Hollow Mountains, she ventured into the desert and made her way further east. The white desert is impossible to cross. She barely survived on the periphery of the ancient battlefield. The deeper she went, the more terrifying it became. The inner reaches of that region, where the true clashes had happened, had to be a Death Zone of its own.

She grew desperate enough to finally venture into the Hollow Mountains. However, she had no hope of traversing them and reaching the human territories on the other side. She also failed to find any sign of a Gateway. So, she did the only thing she could think of, to find a Seed of Nightmare. Eventually and with some help, she encountered one near the boundary of the dark realm that hides within the mountains and challenged it.
