The Neo Pharosians This strange group isn't know for much else other than annoying the heck out of people. At some points they seem like a religious organization or a cult, but at others they just seem to be a bunch of new-age wackos. The Cult of Althena in Eternal Blue had nothing on these guys when it comes to being a general nuisance to society, but at least they don't go around asking for money, just recruits. Oddly enough, money is something they never seem to be short of, and they are rumored to have quite a few powerful members. Hopefully these guys won't bother you too much on your journey... |

Updates: It turns out that the Neo Pharosians and the Cult of Althena from Eternal Blue had much more in common than originally thought. Much like the manner in which the Cult of Althena was a front for bringing back Zophar the Destroyer, the Neo Pharosians are a front for aiding another god of destruction known as Nephar. In order to accomplish this goal, they conceived numerous plots to support their dark god, such as recreating the Mechanized Army of the Vile Tribe. |
The Grim Rapper
This "mutha" of a gang-lord was the leader of the group of street punks that
crashed the Unification Festival in downtown Dragon City. Known for his hooded
cloak, scythe, boom box, and poor language skills, this devout Neo Pharosian
and supporter of Nephar proved to be a highly dangerous foe for our heroes. He
may have even defeated them, had a blue-haired young woman named Teal not come
to their aid...
Nephar
Nephar is Zophar's younger brother. He is a destroyer much like his infamous
older sibling, however at the time of the Blue Star's original destruction at
Zophar's hands, Nephar was considerably weaker than his big brother. As a
result of this sibling rivalry, Nephar traversed the universe on a quest to
become more powerful than Zophar was even after he claimed Althena's power.
This new destroyer, now much older, stronger, and wiser than Zophar was, is
planning to leave his own mark on the universe by destroying both Lunar and
the Blue Star and succeeding where his brother had failed. However, the source
of his new found power is still a mystery...
Update: Nephar apparently visited the distant Leiria Star
System, located in the Andromeda Galaxy, in his travels. It was there he met
with Zissel and formed his alliance with Shadowfall.
Temna Temna is a genetically engineered humanoid created at the Neo Pharosian gene plant outside the small town of Stow. She is the result of combining human DNA with that of monsters and various other predatory creatures. Surprisingly, despite the unusual mix of DNA in her cells, she maintained a fairly humanoid appearance. However, she is just as intelligent and cunning as a human and also possesses the ability to spit acid and poison. Temna is the result of research by a Neo Pharosian geneticist that started twelve years earlier just outside of Dragon City. This geneticist was an expert at breeding monsters, and some of his creations at the beginning of his research went on a rampage that killed Scott's parents. While this scientist did not live to see his research completed, the ultimate embodiment of that research lives on in the form of Temna... Temna is now the Red Devil of Nephar. |
The "Bird-man"
This being is the current leader of the original Vile Tribe, as well as being
Nina's father. Very little is known about him, except that he plans to use the
chaos generated by the Neo Pharosian assault to escalate the original Vile
Tribe back to a position of power and fear on Lunar...
Lark
Lark was a powerful Neo Pharosian android that had taken control of Vane in an
attempt to return it to the skies, only for it to later crash into the Star
Tower, destroying both in the process. Heavily armed and armored, Lark proved
to be a very difficult challenge for our small band of heroes, but it was a
challenge they were able to meet.
Shadowfall
Shadowfall is a strange alien demon that is worshiped as a god by Zissel, the
Blue Devil. This alien evil first appeared in the form of an apprentice priest
in the town of Azado. He sent the heroes on a quest to recover a sea chart
from the Azado Tower. However, the chest containing the chest was
booby-trapped to release the Corpse Crusher when it was opened. After the
Corpse Crusher was defeated, the party returned to the home of the apprentice
priest, only to find out that this alien demon was possessing his body.
Shadowfall then attempted to possess Callie's body, but Danny interfered. This
prevented the possession, but sadly it also resulted in Danny's death as well
as the death of the poor apprentice whose body had been possessed previously.
The magic used by Shadowfall is completely alien to these worlds, and the
native magics seem to have little to no effect against it. There is a legend,
though, about an alien item of good magic that may be able defeat the
unholiness that is Shadowfall.
Update: Shadowfall was imprisoned in the fourth planet of the
distant Leiria Star System, located in the Andromeda Galaxy. He formed his
alliance with Nephar after this dark god freed him from his prison.
Bernard
This Neo Pharosian slob holds the "distinction" of being the fattest guy on
both worlds since Borgan ate the Magic Guild of Vane out of house and home.
Outside of his weight problem, he was also known to be a poor Neo Pharosian
recruiter who often got on the bad side of other Neos by treating them badly
when they came to visit.
