Watchers, Nephilm, and Abdiyrben Part III

The Addiyrben

The Abdiyrben are the offspring of the first born Nephilim and human women. These half breeds are similar to the firstborns in their physical abilities and appearance. Like their fathers, they mature quicker physically and also gravitate towards selfish immature behavior.

Most Abdiyrden are the result of the law that states that any Nephilim has the right to a woman that is to be wed. This usually takes place after the wedding ceremony. The weddings are staged in accordance with the woman's cycle, so that the likelihood of conception is at its highest. Others are conceived by acceptable woman that offer themselves to the Nephilim in order to gain social status.

The Abdiyrben are raised by their mother until weaned and then are sent to the academies to be trained in their father's arts by the priestesses of that order.

These half-breeds automatically attain the highest status. Some are servants in the palaces of the Iyr or their temples; others make up special units and under the command of their fathers. The main purpose of the Abdiyrben, unknown to man, is to be their eventual replacement.
