Who/What is "Sephis"?
Most people know the Sephis Axe which dropped from the very beginning and the Sephis Sword.
They are dropped by Undead being, and I wonder: Who or what is a "Sephis"? It sounds very much like an egyptian god, but I do not know one that has this name or a similar one. What was the inspiration behind the name? |

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?

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.
