Hello, we're still in WIP

Etymology and Biology
The Noctadels 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 other species of elves. The Homân term on the other hand marks their link with the Humans, it is indeed speculated by some that the Noctadels might actually be half-elf, half-human, but like the Elven theory, it's just theory.

Following Noctadels 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 Noctadels' genetics, they changed so much of the genetics that Noctadels became hermaphroditic.

When they birth Noctadels are Genderless, it's generally around the age of 5 that they choose a Gender, although they can change it at any time.

Noctadels can live up to 7000 Years, their blood is purple (due to their genetics modification detailled above)

Era of the Birth-Land
The Noctadels 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 turing 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.

Primitive Noxists
At the start of their migrations Noctadels weren't alone, they were accompanied by various races. All of which (including the Noctadels) were practicing Primitive Noxism. After years of migration different path were took by all those species, the Noctadels 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 Noctadels discovered and started using magics.

Arrival on Tâsqal'ildi (Abexilas)
After roughly 20 000 years of migration the Noctadels finally arrived on the promised Land of Abexilas, it is then that a great separations happened, the Noctadels, after so many times of travels, tensions were high and a war happened. It lasted 7 years, but one day, a young Noctadel 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 Noctadels, it's at this time that the underground capita 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 Noctadels

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 1563 years in complete peace but 16 years ago the Impérâlians attempted a coup to take the power back (spoilers:) they fail, but when trying they killed the Royal Couple, leaving the young Princess alone to rule.

Modern Era
Recently, most of the Noctadels 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, Coeurdyl, the Daughter of the Countess of Impérillinia migrated too.

Marital Traditions
Before the marriage, the Blue House of the couple's town will be arranged to host their marriage, their family's banners will be hanged inside and on the front of the Blue House. A great buffet (with as guests the marrieds families) will be hosted in the Blue House, the food will be constituted of the purest Noctadel bread. After the repast the two fiancés will be married by their local Miraga.

For more nobels marriages, the Impérâlum Sanctuary will be the place where the ceremony will be hosted, usually all the habitants of the couple's regions will be invited. Usually, every citizen is invited to royal marriages.
