Kingdom of Noctisvard

In the South East of Meibos; between the rolling hills, mountainous peaks and bottomless valleys, sits the prosperous Kingdom of Noctisvard. The Kingdom is united by a plethora of settlements that specialise in agriculture and trade. Because of their rich wildlife which mixes exotic plants, animals and fresh water, they are rarely short of supply or resources. And it is for this reason they are the envy to many rival factions. It's believed that the Noctisvardian way of life has led its citizens and monarchy to snobbery and elitism.

History
While The Kingdom of Noctisvard stood for hundreds of years, it only came into prominence in the eyes of other Meibos factions just before rumours of The Eternal Empire began circling. It's King at the time, King Ashenghoul Hexen, A Sith-Pureblood, ruled Noctisvard with an iron fist, and the threat of outsiders caused him to isolate the kingdom and cut off connection with allies. With the kingdom disconnected from it's allies, it became vulnerable. A rival faction, Spira, issued an attack on Noctisvard, however, because of The Kingdom's terrain and knowledge of the land, there was little casualties, forcing Spira to regroup.

While sifting through debris and rebuilding what was destroyed, the citizens of Noctisvard found a cave behind the palace. After King Ashenghoul investigated what dwelled within, he left a different man. Panicked, delusional and incomprehensive, he would leave in his own fruition to seek answers. And in his absence, his wife Queen Ephane Valvalis took the throne.

Years later, Queen Valvalis had remarried and there was a new king of Noctisvard. King Stylix. Together, they would birth a human daughter, Reiva Valvalis. However, the half-breed son of Queen Valvalis and Ashenghoul grew to resent his family due to his treatment and discriminated for being half sith and the son of a crazy man. The son, Andros, could see that his mother and her new husband both favoured Reiva over him.

When Andros grew old enough he attempted to seek out his father. His investigation led him to the cave behind the palace. Once he emerged, he claimed he had a vision. He prophesized that if his sister sat on the throne as Queen, it would bring forward the deadliest war Meibos would ever suffer. In his attempt to stop what he claimed to have foreseen, Andros murdered his step-father by pushing him off a cliff while on a hunting trip and making it look like an accident. He would then poison his grieving mother, and in the same night attempt to kill his younger sister. The Captain of their Army, Master Rekreant, a Sith Pureblood who served King Ashenghoul loyally, intervened and a battle would take place in the great hall of the palace. When Master Rekreant emerged victorious, he warned the prince of the consequences that would take place if he was caught by someone other than him, and in formed him that the poison did not kill the Queen and only put her into a coma. With enough evidence pointing to Andros as the culprit, he advised the prince to leave. He knew if he stayed, Princess Valvalis would not be as forgiving. Andros would leave the kingdom that night and never return.

Currently, Princess Valvalis sits on the throne until her mother wakes or passes. Under her rule, the princess has opened negotiations with other factions and tribes. Her fascination with off-worlders has caused her to make deals with those from neighboring planets and far away, deals which look to expand Noctisvard's military and the occupation of land.
