Nelah is a Rivenese woman, and old friend of Katran. She joined the Moiety against the rule of Gehn on Riven. When Katran returned to Riven years later, she was received by the Moiety as a divine saviour. Nelah and Eti stayed close to Katran during these challenging moments. When Katran wrote Tay, Nelah relocated there along with the other rebels. When Katran was captured by Gehn however, it was Nelah who was allowed to bring food to Katran in her cell on Prison Island.
