Unfortunately, the raging souls of the Nephilim still whisper threats against Creation, driving the Crowfather insane. It seems like a straightforward solution, but the Crowfather also demands Death take back the amulet with the souls of the Nephilim. There, he can resurrect Humanity, deeming War’s supposed crimes null. The Crowfather reveals to Death that if he wants to erase War’s sin, he must travel to the Tree of Life, the source of Creation. So, when War is imprisoned by the Charred Council and accused of wiping out Humanity, Death decides to ask the Crowfather for help once again. Death knew the souls of the Nephilim would be safe in the Icy Veil, a secret he kept even from his brothers and sister. Also known as the Keeper of Secrets, the Crowfaher lives in the Icy Veil, a dimension between the three kingdoms of Heaven, Hell, and Earth, far away from the Charred Council domain. Instead, Death decided to hide their souls inside an amulet he gave to the Crowfather to keep. Struck by grief, Death was not able to destroy the Nephilim souls. Amongst the Four, Death is the Horsemen that became forever known as Kinslayer after his blade cut down the last of their brethren, Absalom. So, it was in massacring their own people that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were forged. Their first mission was to slay the Nephilim and destroy their souls. Vowing to fight for the balance of the universe, these four warriors were recruited by the Charred Council to ensure Heaven and Hell would stay in line. The threat of the Nephilim could only be stopped after four of their warriors betrayed their kin. These beings, known as Nephilim, became an unstoppable army of conquerors, laying waste to uncountable worlds with their unquenchable bloodlust.
Long before the Apocalypse, the demon Lilith created a race of powerful beings by mixing blood from the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Hell.
