Lachoneus and Gidgiddoni
By the time Lachoneus and Gidgiddoni were conquering the existential threat that their people faced there were no longer two distinct bloodlines separating the Nephite and the Lamanite nations. The people had been switching nations either in small groups or large migrations. Those who were inclined to be very wicked among the Nephites would kind…

Nephi II
Following in the footsteps of his father, Nephi led the church at one of the most challenging periods in the history of the Nephites.
