Nevinyrral was a lich from Urborg. She controlled the City of Urborg, which was at war with Bogardan. Little is known about the war, but but legend states that she was outmaneuvred and the city was swallowed by a volcano that tore up from the ground directly beneath it. Her last act was to use the all-powerful Nevinyrral's Disk to deny her enemies any of the magical trove that might survive the flames, destroying herself and most of Urborg in the process. She is also the author of the Necromancer’s Handbook, the Bible of necromancy.

Nevinyrral's name is derived from Science Fiction author Larry Niven, who wrote a story about a doomsday machine that Alpha designers were reminded of when making Nevinyrral's Disk.
