Nocturnians
The Veil of Secrecy:
The Nocturnians' history began eons ago, hidden away from the prying eyes of other civilizations. They dwelled in a realm concealed from the known world, a shadowed sanctuary where they could pursue their arcane arts without interference.
The Pioneers of Dimensional Mastery:
Their insatiable curiosity led them to explore the darkest corners of dimensional Magic. Through centuries of experimentation, they unlocked the secrets of traversing dimensions, constructing intricate gateways to journey between realms. This mastery positioned them as the primary custodians of the pathways that connected these realms.
Masters of Blood Magic:
In their pursuit of power and understanding, the Nocturnians mastered the forbidden art of blood magic, using their life essence to fuel potent spells. This mastery, while granting unparalleled power, came at a steep price. To sustain themselves, they developed complex rituals and symbiotic bonds with the creatures of the night, binding their survival to the arcane forces they commanded.
The Arbiters:
At the heart of Nocturnian society lay the Arbiters, a clandestine assembly of the most adept and learned individuals among them. This council wielded immense influence, shaping the direction of Nocturnian culture and the use of their formidable powers.
Dimensional Observers:
With their unrivaled ability to traverse dimensions, the Nocturnians assumed the role of silent observers. They peered into the realms beyond their own, watching the rise and fall of empires, the clash of civilizations, and the ebb and flow of magic across the multiverse.
Guardians of Balance:
The Nocturnians believed in preserving the equilibrium between dimensions. They intervened discreetly when necessary, using their powers to quell disturbances that threatened to disrupt the cosmic balance. To outsiders, these interventions were often attributed to mere chance or natural phenomena.
Guardians of the Rifts:
The Nocturnians took it upon themselves to patrol and safeguard the rifts, ensuring that the balance between realms remained intact. They became the silent watchers, protecting the mortal world and others from the chaotic dangers lurking within.
The Demonic Incursion:
Their guardianship was tested to its limits when the Abyssal Demons grew in power. Using overwhelming force, the Demons shattered the Nocturnians’ defenses, swarming through the rifts and breaching the mortal realm. Unable to repel the relentless assault, the Nocturnians were forced to retreat, relinquishing control of the rifts. This marked a turning point, as the Demons’ influence began spreading unchecked.
