Noctadel

Noctadels or Noktadel (in Night Tongue, form that will used on the entirety of this page) (Homâns or Night Elves in Common Language) are a species of Elves native from A Far Away Land, around 45 000 years ago they moved to the Blessed Land of Abexilas. They are known for their great and expensive Mythology and Culture centered around the Night and the 5 Moons. They are also known for their unique ability of being hermaphroditic.

== Etymology and Biology ==
The Noktadels are commonly known as Night Elves because of their elven ears and their link with the night and the darknesses. However, no genetic link has been established to justify any biological link with any other species of elves. The Homân term on the other hand marks their link with the Humans, it is speculated by some that the Noktadels might actually be half-elf, half-human, but are drawn to and typically spotted in dark enviroments, like caves or out during the nighttime.
Following Noktadels Beliefs, they were once basic mortals, until the day the Goddess of Night, Vânathy, wept over them. It is said that her tears greatly altered the Noktadels' genetics, eventually making them hermaphroditic.
When they birth Noktadels are Genderless, it's generally around the age of 5 that they choose a Gender, although they can change it at any time.
Noktadels can live up to 7000 Years, their blood is purple (due to their genetics modification detailed above)
== History ==
=== Era of the Birth-Land ===
The Noktadels Species originate from a Far Away Land they call the Birth-Land, it is on said Land that Vânathy's Tears fell on them and changed them forever. Little is known about what happened during those times but after an unknown amount of time until their current Prophet had visions of a place called the Great Pit of Sorrow, place in which was supposedly sealed the Goddess of Night. 
=== Great Migrations ===
==== Primitive Noxists ====
At the start of their migrations Noktadels weren't alone, they were accompanied by various races. All of which (including the Noktadels) were practicing Primitive Noxism. After years of migration different path were took by all those species, the Noktadels always took the same way together, while the other races left one by one... It is heavily speculated that some of these groups might have migrated to a Rathinirians region called Nieden and created the religion known as noxism. Those speculations are supported by the facts that Primitive Noxism and Noxism have very similar Values and Beliefs. It is said that it is around this time that Noktadels discovered and started using magics.
==== Arrival on Tâsqal'ildi (Abexilas) ====
After roughly 20 000 years of migration the Noktadels finally arrived on the promised Land of Abexilas, it is then that a great separations happened, the Noktadels, after so many times of travels, tensions were high and a war happened, this war was opposing various factions and tribes located all around Abexilas. It lasted 7 years, but one day, a young Noktadel called Impéradu united all the parties under one banner, using only diplomacy and peaceful actions. Impédaru had three children: Impédarune, Impérillinia and Impérâlia. 
=== Era of the Moons ===
When Impéradu died, his child Impédarune became King of the Noktadels, it's at this time that the underground capital Impérâlum was built. Impédarune's descendance will rule for over 12 000 years, but one day, the offspring of Impérâlia took the throne through violence and blood. This event started the Era of the Moons, the time when Primitive Noxims became Moons Noxism, the Gods were greatly ignored during this period and the 5 Moons became the most important figure of the religion. However, one line couldn't rule over all the lands, and so the Nation became feudal, rich and influential people got territories and with them titles, creating the Noble Houses of the Noktadels
=== Era of the Night ===
After ruling for exactly 8042 years, the Impérâlian Royals were dethroned by the Impérillinials using their political powers. They changed the religion not unlike the Impérâlian did before, they re-centered it around the gods, specifically Vânathy. The Impérillinials family reigned for 3563 years mostly in peace but 2 major conflicts happened.
===== The Years of Sadness =====
During the Years of Sadness (Roughly 700 years before the launch of Abexilas) the religion was weakening, the clerical authority slowly started to lose its powers, the poor people were starving and various micro-conflicts broke out, which lead the population of the Zerilin to leave the continent of Kejafros.
===== Night of Treason =====
16 years ago the Impérâlians attempted a coup to take the power back (spoilers:) they failed, but when trying to take the power, they killed the Royal Couple, leaving the young Princesses of the kingdom to rule.
=== Modern Era ===
Recently, most of the Noktadels started to migrate back to the Birth-Land due to the arrival of the Rathnirians and Eldhamites. The Prince Bias was savagely killed afterwards. With this loss of people and one of its Prince, the Kingdom weakened... In fear of disappearing the Queen decided to become a vassal of a new local power: Kezias Eskabírei. Following this decision, the Royal Wordsmith Panorh decided to migrate, following the way of his kind, Sometime after the vassalisation, Kordil, the Daughter of Vâati Étrénia Dashari Mirruolix migrated too.
===== The Kezian Reformation =====
The Noktadels, under Kezian rule, were starting to feel opressed by its current leadership. The Noktadels united with their neighboring counties, to gave birth to Eathénil Eksárus. The Kezian Reformation is most detailed Here.
=== Death of the land - The Fiery Reformation ===
In summer of 19 VE, the Countess of Impérillinia, Vâati Étrénia ended her life, the Land of Impérillinia was taken by the Dreadvoughtians, which lead to the sudden disappearance of most Noktadels. As of today, only a few Noktadels are still living on Abexilas, it is said that one day, when their land will be freed, they will return... To their home, bathed under starlight... One day...
Blaze Dashari Mirruolix, who became Countess after her mother's death, went with the DreadVoughtians and managed to create a connection, allowing the remaining Noktedels who stayed loyal to her and the true family heritage to live peacefully in the castle of Camelot and other DreadVoughtian towns without oppression. She was able to stay in power, only at the cost of Imperalum's name being changed to Camelot, and the Island renamed to Avelon respectfully. This change was named by Blaze (who at the time renamed to Siltras) as The Fiery Reformation, stating it was how her actions of being peaceful with DreadVought caused the flaming tensions bewteen her and the other Noktadels.
The other Noktadels went with Loktume Dashari Mirruolix and migrated North-west to Danmalis. Clashes between the two countries caused Loktume's followers to despise Blaze, believing Loktume's words that she was forsaken to be killed, even though she never tried to fight them, she couldn't dare kill her own kind. As Danmalis grew weak however, they formed a Non-Aggression-Pact with DreadVought so they wouldn't be crushed to pieces. This angered Loktume as it showed her request for violence against her sister was not being heard. She and her followers would be migrating to Irithel, hoping their violent needs will be met.
The Fiery Reformation is written in more detail here (no link to its wiki page since its not done yet, sorry!)
=== Post Reformations / True Modern Day - Draconians ===
After Danmallis had been annexed into Valera, the remaining large group of Noctadels and Loktume seemed to have just disappeared. Whether they were ambushed by bandits on their migration to Irithel, or performed Chants of Blood, ending themselves hoping for salvation, they were never to be seen again.
Blaze and her smaller group against all odds was safe, converting to a much simpler lifestyle religiously as their previous rituals were simply too dangerous continue in their smaller numbers. Blaze also managed to keep her heritagal power over the Island of Imperillinia (Now Avelon), becoming the heir once again under Boldoe. Her and the remaining Noctadels were now beloved citizens, accepted as no different from their Draconian compaitriots. It was under Draconis Imperium (Formerly DreadVought) that slowly but surely, the Noctadels managed to keep their kind from extintion. Sure they were still in dangerously small numbers, but they were finally accepted not for what the were (most viewed Noctadels and murderous psychopaths), but for what they could be.
As of now, the remaining Noctadels live on Avelon and now Paladins Keep in eastern Draconic Territory.
