Oracle/Lore


 * Nerif is an Oracle. Oracles are soothsayers that are organically bred and birthed by the Pallid Sybils who manufactures them for the Ivory Incubarium, who then imports them to the Cymurri. The Cymurri then makes a downpayment of the full purchase when the Oracles begin to develop as a mere embryo, and pay the mortgage once these beings have come of age.
 * Nerif's self-prophesied path lead him to the sunken realms, and in the wake of his path, he has broken these deep sea civilizations. It is up to those who survived his presence to build their future from the remains of their destroyed home.
 * While the wary advisors to the Seat of Cymurri restrained Nerif and banished him out of their universe, there were some who did not involve themselves in Nerif's exile nor did they feel anger or sadness towards their certain fate. There were some who believed that accepting the fate created by Nerif was necessary to ensure the sanctity of their beliefs, because they knew that the words of an Oracle cannot be doubted compared against the vile hearts of those with power.
 * Nerif has given the Manifold Paradox to Phantom Assassin to kill those who seek to kill him. How he managed to summon it from thin air is unknown, although it is likely due to his powers over time and causality.

Artifact
Nerif is not involved in any of the events of Artifact, but he is mentioned by the Dark Seer. Hearing of the Oracle's precognition abilities, he seeks him out as an ally or a foe worth testing himself against.
