It was the home planet of Biron Farill, and one of the 'Nebular Kingdoms' near the Horsehead Nebula. It was conquered by Tyrann about fifty years before the novel begins. One known noble title on Nephelos is 'Rancher'; Farill's father was one of these, Lord of the largest Ranchy on Nephelos: Widemos.
