Long ago, when the Gittish Empire attacked [[Wormwood Creek]] and wounded [[Serena (IX)|Serena]], she was left for dead until Nodoph found her and brought her back to the tower of Nod. She went in search of [[Corvus]] and died in the Oubliette. This made Nopdoph shed a single tear, known as Nod's tear.
