The origins of
Like the other Praetaran deities, his link to our world was through the '''Gate of Praetara''', located in the centre of the Moon City. This would give many deities strength, but was purely dependant on the followers continuing to worship. For Imphiel, as he was not a God of pure power, this instead allowed him to manifest to give teachings.▼

Whilst his teachings did prevent many a disaster, words were not always a means to an end. As the age of Praetara was reaching it's end, Imphiel lost more and more of his grasp over Praetor. War-mongering and fringe warlords resulted in a breakdown of dialogue, making Imphiel's teaching more and more obsolete, as the philosophers were no longer able to teach, and libraries and books were burnt by the pile.▼

This battle, later named '''The Great Hunt''', was then declared the finality of the Apostles of Amphus, and Luna celebrated the victory over the cult. As a congratulations for his work in defeating the group, Ursus, Son of Imphiel, was declared the ''Holy Consul'' for the Order of Humility, and was granted power over the majority of Luna, alongside the Holy Consul for the Order of the Moon. Citizens often use these events as a reminder of what can happen if teachings and beliefs are turned sour, and used to promote immoral and ethically wrong actions, and to always be wary and self-judging, linking to the teachings of [[Imphiel#Humilians Sua|Humilians Sua]].

Imphiel (Imphiela in some texts) is a deity originating within the Praetaran beliefs, and is the deity of humility, modesty and shame. He is of the Praetara deities, and has a concentrated following within Luna, due to the '''Resurgence of Luna'''. Whilst he is a non-corporeal being, Imphiel will often take physical form, primarily atop the tower in the [[City of the Moon, Luna|City of the Moon]], to communicate with his apostles and closest followers to continue to spread his beliefs. It is notable that Imphiel is one of the more proactive deities in the Praetaran Mythos, for reasons unknown and unquestioned.

=====Aufero Superbiae=====
This teaching is the general notion that one should strive to remove pride from their actions, as an abundance of pride often leads to narcissism and looking down upon others. Whilst Imphiel teaches to make sure you acknowledge your own achievements, floundering them around and showing off to others how ''“great”'' you are is only a path to become a self-conceited person. The best way to let others know of your accomplishments is instead through actions, leading by example and not exclaiming your superiority, for that is where the path away from modesty and good-intent lies.
