History & Background

The Nist cluster was the location of the former Collective of Nist following the civil wars. Those populations of the Cluster that survived the Dark Age became regressed and insular, and their development and loyalties were a constant source of conflict between Outworld Development and Scybria.

The Cluster was repeatedly fought over during the Scybrian Wars and still bears the physical scars of that conflict. It remains as a culturally distinct and fiercely independent region.
