Life
Nepena was one of the founders of Duhalada and Cedharad, one of the biggest importing firms in Amalo, along with Mer Cedharad, who resided in Barizhan.

Nepena had many children, including at least three sons, including Nepevis Duhalar and Pelara, and a daughter out of wedlock, Daleno. Many of his children married and/or had children of their own, including Nepevis' daughter, Alasho Duhalin, and Daleno's son, Tura Olora. Many of Nepena's grandchildren also married and/or had children. Daleno was Nepena's favorite child, and he left Tura 5,000 muranai in his will because of that relationship, possibly as an insult to the rest of his family due to the thorniness of Daleno's birth. Nepena also specified that his heir was to scatter his ashes.

Nepena intended Pelara to succeed him, but after his death, Nepevis presented a fake will, to contest Nepena's, which drove the Duhalada into conflict. Two weeks after Nepena's death, Alasho petitioned Thara Celehar to Witness for him, without telling the rest of her family. Thara discovered that Nepena intended Pelara as his heir. Nepena's original will was ultimately destroyed, and Nepevis went to the Amal'theileian to accuse Thara of fraud by working for Pelara to help Pelara gain control of the family business, and demanded Thara face a trial by ordeal to prove himself. Prince Orchenis Clunethar doubted Nepevis' story, and when Nepevis panicked at his fraud being discovered, he went to the Amalomeire, bringing the matter to the Amal'othala. The Amal'othala supported the trial by ordeal, which Thara passed. Orchenis ordered Nepevis to surrender himself to the Judiciary for judgment.

Eventually, Nepena's original will was read to his family (and Thara) by Mer Ondormezh.
