		+	If Naberius is killed after being summoned, he can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. Naberius is placed randomly along with many other spirits of the near void on the second floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes him [[nonliving]].
