Overview

---

Nocturne is a militarized group of Eilistraeens, fierce warriors that wish to promote peace between the races and combat the forces of evil on the isles. While the drow of Nocturne work actively against the Threshold of Dominion, their primary focus is against House Despana: the Vhaeraunire House to the south. Their long-term goal; however, is to ally with the forces of Bryn Duraz to the east.

Despite their naked rituals and dances, the drow of Nocturne are no pushovers: they hunt, convert and (when the former fails) kill evil Drow. Because of this, they are often found venturing to Onyx Cove in search of other drow: they observe, elect those they can convert, then try. Most of the time, it costs them their lives.


Ranks

---

The Nocturne have only two official ranks: the High Priestess, who is in charge of religious matters for the group, and the Battlemistress, who is in charge of all matters of battle and conflict.

All other disputes are resolved with democracy, where even the say of a new member holds weight.

Beyond that, the group is quite informal: all are free to do as they wish, when not given a task by the High Priestess or the Battlemistress.


Dogma of the Nocturne

---

Be always kind, except in battle with evil. Encourage happiness everywhere. Learn and teach new songs, dances, and the flowing dance of skilled swordwork. Promote harmony between the races. Befriend strangers, shelter those without homes, and feed the hungry. Repay rudeness with kindness. Repay violence with swift violence so that those who cause it are quickly dealt with. Aid drow in distress and give them the Lady's message:

A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace and live beneath the sun again where trees and flowers grow.
