| ===Origin===
| |
| {{Quote|SHIN'RA'S VILE PLAN. He seeks to build a massive ship from the corpse of the Leviathan and its kin, a temple to his mastery of the Sword Logic. The Worms agree to this action and will hold us accountable for failure to the hunt. So we must devoutly serve or perish to our Worm's hunger.|[[Forum:Lore:Maker's Lament#III—Trial of War|Maker's Lament: III—Trial of War]]}}
| |
|
| |
| The origins of the Nephilim date back to the Hive's war against the [[Ammonite]]. After toppling the civilization, Shin'ra would use what remained of the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]] to craft what Xivu Arath described as a temple to the mastery of the [[Sword Logic]]. He would use the vessel to conquer the [[Forum:Nadheal|Nadheal]] and the [[Forum:Ussatan|Ussatan]] species at the behest of the [[The Witness|Witness]]'s demands to gather new Disciples.
| |
|
| |
| Despite his failure to bring back worthy candidates, the Witness would decree Shin'ra to continue the hunt for the Leviathans. Shin'ra and his [[Forum:Celebrant of Shin'ra|Celebrants]] would hunt down the Proto-[[Worm]]s across the universe, torture them, and use their dead corpses to further reinforce the Nephilim, increasing its size and power exponentially. Shin'ra would also mounted one of their vertebrae onto the front of the Nephilim to act as its primary weapon, which is capable of taking down entire fleets in a single shot, much like any other [[Tomb Carrier]].
| |
|
| |
| At an unknown point prior to the [[Collapse]], Shin'ra would be the caretaker of the [[The Veil|Veil]], an object of immense primordial Darkness and equal to the [[The Traveler|Traveler]]. When he had initially experimented with it, he unintentionally released [[Forum:Mallum, the Scarlet King|Mallum]] and his [[Forum:Tarnished|Tarnished]] into the universe. He was forced to use the Nephilim as their prison to ensure that the primordial force would not spread any further and to keep them under quarantine. He would also craft what would be known as the [[Forum:Subjugated Vault|Subjugated Vault]] which would serve as a prison for the enemies of Shin'ra, training grounds for his own forces and weapons, and as a source for tribute for him to feed from.
| |
|
| |
| ===Corruption's Insurgence===
| |
| When the Black Fleet initially arrived in Sol, Shin'ra was forced to withhold from invading it due to him unleashing the Tarnished. He would await within his ship as it accompanied the Black Fleet throughout the years of the Collapse until the awakening of the Traveler. When the Black Fleet began to emerge into the system, he would station the Nephilim at the edges of the Kuiper Belt to keep a distance from the forces of the Light and to [[Forum:Corruption (element)|corrupt]] the system from its edges.
