Nemesis: Difference between revisions

Nemesis was a leader of a group of bandits. With the help from [[those who slither in the dark]], Nemesis stole the remains of the goddess [[Sothis]] from the Holy Tomb. He acquired Sothis's [[Crest of Flames]] from her blood and had her bones crafted into the [[Sword of the Creator]]. With his newfound power, he later went to Zanado, the Red Canyon, and slaughtered several [[Children of the Goddess|children of the goddess]], and used their bodies to gain even more power, bringing war to the continent.<ref>{{cite|'''Seteth:''' Nemesis, the King of Liberation...

They planned to teach humanity their skills of crafting powerful weapons from the bodies of Nabateans, and that plan was carried out by the human, Nemesis.

If [[Byleth]] choose to lead the [[Golden Deer]], those who slither in the dark's millennium-long plan for revenge against Seiros culminates in his resurrection in Imperial Year 1186. Rhea speculates this occurs as a consequence of Shambhala's destruction breaking his seal, as the blood of Sothis contains an incredible power unmatched by the blood of other children of the goddess.<ref>{{cite|'''Claude:''' Nemesis?
