**Noppos** (ノッポス, *Nopposu*?) is a character in the "Order of the Swan Knights" arc.

## Appearance

Noppos is a lanky, tall man about the same age as Deivis.

His elongated body becomes even more elongated and his neck elongates. His face becomes like a snake.

## Personality

Noppos once joined the Knightly Order to become a knight. However, it was difficult to become a knight and while he was still an esquire. If he left the Order, he would only become a Freedom Warrior, so he continued as an esquire. It was then that he was recruited by Serpent worshippers. At first he didn't think it was the Serpent worshippers. It was a relationship, just to tell them what the Order was doing in exchange for a lot of money. He had no intention of betraying them. He thought it would not be to the detriment of the Order if he taught them something that was not in their interest. However, the relationship eventually deepened and before long he had become a Serpent worshipper. That is what Noppos is today. He regrets it a little, but there's nothing he can do about it now.

Sarellia

**Sarellia** (サレリア, *Sareria*?) is a Human Nation in the Central Continent.

## Overview

Sarellia is not an independent country and its inhabitants are citizens of the Holy Lenaria Republic. The post town of Sarellia is a day's ride from the Holy Lenaria Republic.

## Layout

The town was originally a travelling merchants' encampment, which was transformed into a city. Travellers temporarily set up camp in places where they could protect themselves, as visibility is poor at night and fiends are common. However, there are not many places suitable for encampments. Sarellia is one of the few places where it is possible to camp. It began when the Holy Lenaria Republic built accommodation at the request of merchants and others. The city became a town when citizens were stationed to manage it and to build further accommodation. The official inhabitants are citizens of the Holy Lenaria Republic, but there are also non-citizens who have settled in the city. Perhaps because of its distance from the Holy Lenaria Republic, the boundary between citizens and non-citizens is loose and the atmosphere is the same as in the Outer City. However, most of the people in the town are travellers, and the inhabitants do the same business with travellers, such as innkeepers. Sarellia is not a suitable place for agriculture and there are no major industries, so the only source of income is the money travellers drop. If there are too many incidents on the roads and travellers disappear, the town of Sarellia will soon disappear.

## Foreign Relations

Holy Lenaria Republic
Sarellia a subordinate city of the Holy Lenaria Republic.
## Military Strength

There is a branch of the Order of the Swan Knights.

## History

Siren race

**Siren race** (セイレーン族, *Seirēn-zoku*?) are a female-gender species.

## Overview

The sirens inhabited in the southern ocean.

Unlike the harpies and striges, they are beautiful.

## Culture

They live near the sea and sing. Above the islands, or around the skyship, Sirens are flying and singing.

The siren's habitat is uninhabitable for human males and their target dies quickly. In other words, if you are captured by the siren, you will not return alive. This is why they are so feared by human sailors. The sailors also wear earplugs, so they are not confused by siren.

## Physical Attributes

Sirens are a hybrid of human and waterbird, and are only female. They have seabird wings.

Their songs are full of magic and attract human males who listen to them and become siren's mate. They do not work on Kuroki, who has the most magical powers.

## History

They were created by Nargol and Orgis.

Kuroki on the Honey Bear skyship hears the sirens singing beautifully. They sung sweetly to entice Kuroki, but to no avail. So the Sirens eventually leave, looking disappointed.

## Etymology

In Greek mythology, the **Sirens** (セイレーン, *Seirēn*?) were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Roman poets placed them on some small islands called Sirenum scopuli. In some later, rationalized traditions, the literal geography of the "flowery" island of Anthemoessa, or Anthemusa, is fixed: sometimes on Cape Pelorum and at others in the islands known as the Sirenuse, near Paestum, or in Capreae. All such locations were surrounded by cliffs and rocks.

According to the Greek Neoplatonist philosopher Proclus, Plato said there were three kinds of sirens: the *celestial*, the *generative*, and the *purificatory / cathartic*. The first were under the government of Zeus, the second under that of Poseidon, and the third of Hades. When the soul is in heaven the sirens seek, by harmonic motion, to unite it to the divine life of the celestial host; and when in Hades, to conform the soul to eternal infernal regimen; but when on earth their only job to "produce generation, of which the sea is emblematic".
