The first thing you must understand about Nephele is the Throne Above Thrones. It is the axis of our world and our magic, the cause of war and its solution. To Princes, it is a ladder to godhood. To the rest of us, it's death.
A Prince is a Prince through the devotion of her followers. A Prince becomes a Monarch by ascending the Throne and thereafter has no need of devotion, for she's a self-stating natural law, wed to Generation. Her domain pervades the world and grants it her Throne-gift--a magic she believed all the world should have, so much she would climb over the bodies of all her competitors to gift it to us. While Enthroned, she forms angels to be her hands and her eyes in the world.
For thirty years (give or take) she grants her gifts, until her hold on the Throne becomes so tenuous a rival can unseat her and we change the name of the years. So it has gone for all of recorded time. So there is no mortal generation in millennia that has not known a war.
Has it been worth it? O Loneliness, First-Spouse, who called us forth from the void and Generation's mind, was this what you wanted?
