| − | The '''Neferset''' [[tol'vir]] are a group that decided to side with [[Deathwing]] in exchange for reattaining their stone bodies, lost due to the effect of the [[Curse of Flesh]]. They maintain a strong presence within the [[Lost City of Tol'vir]], as well as several more regions of [[Uldum]] and even [[Skywall]]. |

| − | During the Uldum questlines, [[adventurers]] encounter members of Neferset on numerous occasions, first time when they arrive along with [[Adarrah]] and her caravan through the [[Gate of Unending Cycles]] and are captured by a band of [[Pygmy|pygmies]] and are sold for 3 coconuts to the corrupted tol'vir (although they're surely worth five)<ref>{{questlong|Neutral|83|Easy Money}}</ref>. Thanks to Addarah and [[Budd]]'s plan, however, they manage to free themselves and the [[Ramkahen]] [[Prince Nadun]]. |
||

| − | As the story progresses it is revealed that [[Siamat]], Lord of the South Wind, was empowered by [[Deathwing]] himself to bestow the gift of stone skin upon the tol'vir, removing the [[Curse of Flesh]]. After becoming exhausted from converting the population of Neferset into their stoney bodies, the Neferset turned on Siamat, trapping him within the tower at the center of their lost city. |

| − | The Neferset main bastion is [[Neferset City]] located in the southern region of Uldum by the sea. However, after {{questlong|Neutral|84|The Fall of Neferset City}} and death of [[Dark Pharaoh Tekahn]], the Neferset forces are scattered and retreat into their last two bastions - Lost City of Tol'vir and [[Halls of Origination]]. |

| − | *Members of Neferset are the only living faction of tol'vir that posses the original shape given to them by the [[Titans]]. The other Tol'vir who retain their stone bodies are [[Obsidian Colossus]] within [[Temple of Uldum]] and corrupted [[Obsidian destroyer|Obsidian destroyers]] under control of [[Qiraji]] Empire and [[Scourge]] during the [[Third War]]. It would appear that [[Temple Guardian Anhuur]] never succumbed to the Curse of Flesh and has been guarding the entrance to the [[Halls of Origination]] since it's creation. |
||
| − | *It can be noted that only stone tol'vir posses wings. However, it is a rare trait. |
||
| − | *The core of the Neferset name, is the Ancient Egyptian word '''Nefer''', that was used to symbolize beauty and goodness. The term Nefer has been incorporated into many female names in Ancient Egypt. Examples include Nefertiti, Nefererini, and Nefertari.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefer |title=Definition of the word Nefer on Wikipedia}}</ref> The reason for naming that sub-faction of Tol'vir race might be an ironic reference by Blizzard Lore Team, because all Neferset are evil and not really that beautiful, and on top of that no female tol'vir are present to this date in-game. |
