Nestra Orphiel

Nestra Orphiel is a Spiritseer of Craftworld Alaitoc. During the Carnac Campaign she would enter the Craftworld's Infinity Circuit to gather the Soulstones of Alaitoc's heroes to form the Continnum, a group of Wraith-constructs, to aid in their battle against the Necrons. Orphiel was required to stay close to the Wraith-constructs in order for them to remain working, so she joined the Continnum as they went to battle against Necron Overlord Anrakyr the Traveler's horde. Lead by former Autarch Kael Ra, the Continnum held back the Necrons, allowing Alaitoc and Exodite forces time to evacuate the planet. Each battle saw the Continnum's Wraith-constructs fall and when she was able to, Orphiel recovered their Soulstones to return to their Craftworld.

Eventually Anrakyr himself, would lead a large force of Necrons against them and the strength of their attacks destroyed a majority of the Continnum. Having no choice, Orphiel and the few survivors began to retreat to Carnac's Webway Gate and the safety of Alaitoc. As they fled, Anrakyr began to awaken the Necrons sleeping beneath Carnac, causing a massive earthquake and the very ground to shatter. As they neared the Webway Gate, Orphiel and Kael Ra were all that remained of the Continnum to reach the safety of Alaitoc - with Orphiel carrying Ra's Soulstone, after his Wraithlord was destroyed.[1b]
