Nephilim is a role-playing game about powerful elemental entities reincarnating into human beings. Very rarely, Dragaerans will become undead to leave the Halls without reincarnating. An "ogbanje" is a reincarnating evil spirit that would deliberately plague a family with misfortune. This causes Hall to realize that he is reincarnating across space as well as time. Wan teaches the reincarnating art to a successor and dies standing after a battle.
