The French colonial army in North Africa had a type of mounted muslim warriors known as Saphis. Possible connection?

Sephis could refer to Sephis I, the ruler of the Corianth Empire from the novels: The Chronicles of Empire?

Nice find! At least the name is identical. This Sephis seems to be very much alive or have died a natural dead.

Maybe this is the only connection. We know that ANet sucks up all kind of pop culture and references.

If you're talking about Star Wars, weren't the Sephi a kinda erudite lookin' race? Makes sense, since the Sephis weapons are associated with Undead, who are mostly Orrian, who are themselves rather erudite. Pop culture references abound in this game...

An old god perhaps? Isnt Abbadon supposed to have defeated a former god? Perhaps it was Sephis.

Hmm. The Undead use Sephis Axes. Most of the Undead (at least in Prophecies) are Orrians. Orrians have Arabic/Middle Eastern styled names from their bosses, and Vizier Khilbron looks Arabic too.
So yeah. Maybe.
