| - Nela was a female human born in 156, 5th age in a small house north of Falador. Her father was an alcoholic woodcutter who spent most of his meager wage on beer. Being born to a peasant couple, Nela was not permitted to have a last name. In 169, months after the death of The Great Nameless One, Falador was conquered by Zarok's empire.
