The Umbral Realm of Noctyros is a ruthless dictatorship ruled by its sovereign, the Night Chancellor Corvess Malreth. Its capital, Dravenholt, rises in jagged obsidian spires, crowned by the Citadel of Night where politics, faith, and fear are bound into a single iron rule. The state religion, The Veil, teaches that light is fleeting and only shadow is eternal, binding every citizen to obedience as their path to eternity.

The black-and-silver flag, marked by a crimson skeletal raven clutching a crescent veil, is the nation’s unyielding symbol. The same imagery dominates its currency, the Crescent, making every transaction an act of submission to Malreth’s doctrine. The national animal, the Crimson Raven, is a ghastly, skeletal bird of omen, believed to feed on souls and carry whispers of the dead into shadow. Its presence cements the nation’s identity as a land where death and eternity are inseparable.

Noctyros thrives not through conquest but through manipulation, espionage, and terror. The Obsidian Legion enforces its will in war, while the Eyes of Noctyros and the Whisperers maintain control at home and abroad through silence and shadows. To its people, Noctyros is both guardian and captor; to outsiders, it is a land feared for its inevitability. The nation’s motto, “Eternity Dwells in Darkness,” defines its essence: a realm where shadow is not absence, but destiny.
