Nilvan

"'For mankind to break free, we need more.'" Nilvan is a major story character in Fear & Hunger. She is a member of the Fellowship that sought out to become one of the New Gods. After becoming a deity herself, she turned to the prophecies about a man who would unite the warring states as a desperate way to extend her reign of influence.

Lore
Nilvan is a member of the Fellowship alongside François, Ronn Chambara, Valteil, and the Forgotten One.

Said Fellowship embarked on their journey to become New Gods in the year 809. They entered Ma'habre and ascended to become New Gods, with Nilvan then becoming the Endless One. Taking up residence at the Tower of Endless of the ancient city, Nilvan believes in the endless potential of mankind and that anything can be within reach, if they try hard enough.

However, Nilvan was aware that her era would end someday and because of that, she desperately looked for a way to continue her reign beyond her destined lifetime. In the end, she believed that Le'garde, a man from the prophecies who could possibily unite the warring states not by force, held the key to her eternal existence, and conceived a child with him expecting her to be the light of mankind - this same child ascended as the God of Fear and Hunger and brought mankind to strive against hardship through progress, in what became known as the Cruel Age.

Location
Nilvan does not present herself in a physical form during the game, but will visit the player character in a dream if they sleep at the bed inside the Tower of the Endless in Ma'habre, in the past version of the city.

The dream will let the protagonist watch flashbacks that illustrate the motivations of the four main characters for delving into the dungeons and face the Skin Granny before the bare-breasted New God decides to explain her worries for mankind. Nilvan will then ask the player to take her child to the heart of the darkness. If one agrees to her terms, she will gift the protagonist with her Endless soul. Choosing to refuse will displease her and prevent the player from obtaining the Endless soul. The Endless soul is one of the three souls needed to enter the Golden Temple.

Powers and Abilities
Absolute Erasure: Nilvan can erase people and concepts from existence with a single thought or wave of her hand.

Dream Manipulation: She can easily manipulate the dreams of herself and others as well as having her own dreamlike pocket dimension.

Regenerative Healing Factor: She can heal from both physical and most magical damage and can regrow lost limbs in seconds. The only way to kill Nilvan is with magic that fully destroys the essence and soul of a being.
