If there was a single place where the Fell Wars saw first contact with the material world, the Umbra system was it. Home to six planets, the only inhabited sphere, named Nephali, was the location of Helel’s last stand after being thrown from his native dimension to this world. Nephali has been under the control of the scattered remains of the Fell forces that fought in that battle since the inception of Helel’s retreat to Sol. Still, as of last contact, it leadership and inhabitants were only barely loyal to the rebellion that they once championed.
Nephali is a political no-man’s land ruled by pleasure and greed, with little in common with either its demonic rebellion or the influence of the Creator’s heavenly forces. Best described as a pirate’s paradise, the central temple complex, which once served as a locus for Helel’s praise of the Creator, is now an open-air gallery of debauchery, vice, and desperation. This is because everyone on all sides of the equation knows that the commander of the SS Agape has put this planet on notice that its days of evil are numbered. Rumors about Michael’s plans often tie the inevitable destruction of Nephali and liberation of prisoners there to the Bloom Prophecy in which the Umbra System will be liberated on the Agape’s final approach to the Sol system, just before the Fell War is brought to a permanent end.
