A Lot of Nightwings In Pantala

My number of unfinished projects has passed the point of comedy but here we are. 
==Timeline of events==
* Clearsight parishes in the cave-in after trapping Darkstalker.
* The NightWings soon realise that living on the volcanic island sucks. Vigilance's charismatic successor leads them in search of the lost continent.
* Things aren't so hot for the NightWings when they finally touch down on Pantala, but they are sufficiently intimidating to get everyone to leave their new small queendom in the mountains alone.
* It is a good thing that the NightWings brought enough scrolls to rebuild their civilisation. For the NightWings, at least.
* Over the years, the NightWings grow in power as they exploit the resources of the mountains. They form alliances, and fight some small wars.
* The NightWings never saw the Pantalans as equals. But they bide their time.
* The Pantalans start to centralise, influenced by the NightWings.
* The great destiny of the NightWings is ready to be fulfilled. An empire that spans a continent. Dominion over the BeetleWings and the LeafWings.
* As the young empires of Pantala fight, the NightWings form military alliances with several majority LeafWing states. The hour is at hand.
==The Aftermath of The First Continental War==
Several centuries have passed since Clearsight saved the world from Darkstalker. 
In the aftermath of the First Continental War, the NightWings have managed to realise their destiny (literally, there was a prophecy about it) of dominion over Pantala. They have defeated and conquered the Carapace Confederacy, the largest indigenous Pantalan polity to date.
At the moment, the majority of the territories that make up the NightWing Hegemony are still outside of the Night Queendom proper. The NightWings work to assimilate their conquests with great determination, but progress is slow, and the current rulers may soon take more drastic measures.
Despite the government-enforced supremacy of NightWing culture, the NightWings have also been influenced by that of their LeafWing allies, particularly in the culinary area.
The NightWings have grown more religious, in response to their perceived good-fortune in disguise. There are new religious movements popping up all over the Queendom, and even some in the outer territories (the latter often provoke a swift crackdown from the NightWing government). The power of the queen (which had initially been expanded in the early days of the New Night Queendom) has been reduced, with power concentrated in the talons of a small group of government officials and advisors. Many of these officials are moon-hatched, forming a psychic elite who have functionally subordinated the old structures of the monarchy to their control. The further refinement and development of psychic capabilities is seen as the path by which the NightWings shall ensure their permanent mastery of the continent. 
There are some among the circle of NightWing leaders who have vaster ambitions. The fear of animus magic is not as strong as it once was (The stories surely must have been exaggerated), and there are those who dream of retaking their old Pyrrhian territories and more. Much more. 
Then there are the allied Pantalan states. These are almost universally LeafWing-ruled, and their relationships with the Night Queendom tend to be highly unequal. They have been strongly influenced by NightWing culture and science in a variety of ways, and in fact, in some cases their scholars are actually better than those of the Night Queendom, where there is a long history of the government suppressing works that they dislike. Descrimination against BeetleWings is fairly widespread, but not nearly as common as in the regions directly ruled by the NightWings.
