Abel is a vendor in the markets of Selenopolis that sells cosmetic gear to Wizards who have earned all of Selenopolis’s Challenge Mode Badges.
In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, the firstborn, was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices, each from his own fields, to God. God had regard for Abel’s offering, but had no regard for Cain’s. Cain killed Abel and God cursed Cain, sentencing him to a life of transience. Cain then dwelt in the land of Nod (נוֹד, ‘wandering’), where he built a city and fathered the line of descendants beginning with Enoch.
The story of Cain and Abel is widely interpreted in academic biblical scholarship as a symbolic tale reflecting early agricultural society’s tensions—such as those between nomadic herders and settled farmers—and may draw from the older Mesopotamian myth Enlil Chooses the Farmer-God. Cain and Abel have become enduring cultural symbols of fratricide and sibling conflict, referenced and reinterpreted across art, literature, theater, music, and film from medieval times to modern popular culture.
