Editing The Night Kingdom

 

The Night Kingdom is situated on the talon of the Pyrrhian continent, much like the canon book counterpart. Notable places within the kingdom are Renewal and Juxin City.

NightWings in the server have innate effects applied to them at all times: Night Vision and Strength I. While sneaking at night, NightWings can also gain invisibility. NightWing abilities include Fire Breath, Shade Shackle, and Premonition.

==== Pre-Scorching ''∞-0 B.S.''====

Very little is known about this time period, other than the first Proto-Dragons, but historians in somewhat recent years have found skeletons of dragons under the earth, all in different ways, although all with some form of tail Barb symbol.

==== Post-Scorching ''1-499 A.S.'' ====

Marked by 3 major milestones, this era consisted of the crowning of the first-ever dragon queen. Rumors that she hailed from a proto-tribe began to circulate, as a result of her feeling the need to join forces with other dragons to avenge a stolen egg and kicking off the Scorching. The Scorching was an ancient event, in which the dragons rose up in an attempt to commit genocide on the scavengers, the previous dominant life form. The dragons ultimately won this fight. Within the next 500 years, war broke out between the dragons. They slowly separated into tribes from the original three proto-tribes, claiming different territory for themselves.

==== The Ancient Era ''500-1,199 A.S.'' ====

It is commonly believed around the year 500 A.S., the NightWing tribe completely separated from the proto-tribes and picked their own Queen.

By the year 1000, the NightWings had started to develop basic technology such as basic medicine, followed by a written language in 1,010 A.S.

==== The Dark Renaissance ''1,200-2,971 A.S.''====

In 1,200 A.S., NightWings developed more advanced medicine, kicking off The Dark Renaissance. Around 1,700 A.S., Queen Dawnbreak was crowned. She is the earliest queen to have written recordings of details such as her name. Dawnbreak was credited with pioneering and utilizing a strategy on the battlefield that was groundbreaking at the time, whereas other tribes still focused heavily on brute force and numbers. The War of Long Talon was a minor war between the NightWings and the SandWings over territory around the Talon Peninsula, starting in 1,715 and ending in 1,719 with Juexin's Charge.

Juexin, Queen Dawnbreak's secret lover and one of her top commanders, foresaw that there was no outcome in the final battle where she would survive. Rather than telling Dawnbreak, Juexin went out and commenced her final stand anyway. Intending to go out on her own terms, Juexin ordered a near-suicidal charge straight into enemy lines. The charge was successful for the heavily outnumbered NightWings, defying all odds and managing to tear into the enemy forces, sending them running. Juexin, however, was mortally wounded during the charge. Dawnbreak would visit her dying lover in the infirmary, during which her final words to her queen and lover were, "you’re welcome." Juexin's Charge would mark the end of the war, with both sides running out of steam which resulted in a draw. In 2,138, Juexin City began construction, a trading city named after this stubborn yet brave commander, which sits at the mouth of the river, just south of Jade Mountain.

==== The Rise of Darkstalker ''2,972-3,012 A.S.''====

==== The Age of Shadows ''3,013-4,997 A.S.''====

It is commonly regarded that around 3,060 A.S., Clearsight finished writing her famous book, known as The Book of Clearsight.

In 3,488, Nightfall, an animus of an unknown tribe, roamed across Pyrrhia. Rather than using traditional animus magic, they had two offshoots of animus magic that they called "Transmutation" and "Seals". Transmutation allowed Nightfall to change an object into another object of identical mass and material whereas Seals were paper talismans that allowed objects to carry out the commands written on them, similar to animus magic. Nightfall ventured across Pyrrhia using their powers to help other dragons across the continent, never seen without at least two small animals under the Seal's magic by their side, which Nightfall would release back into the wild when their help was no longer needed. Nightfall's cloaked silhouette left much up to debate on their appearance, gender, and tribe, with the general consensus being that they were a female NightWing. After a few decades of helping Pyrrhia, Nightfall eventually vanished without a trace.

In 3,545 A.S., in what is now known as the Sanguine Skies Incident, Nightfall returned. Rather than helping the continent of Pyrrhia as a whole, many dragons reported hearing them mentioning the name "Blackberry". Several reports of missing dragons were also filed around the time of their return, with the only thing linking the missing dragons to Nightfall being residue left behind by their transmutation magic. The cases increased each day for until the eighth day of the incident, when Nightfall was observed to kill a dragon in broad daylight. By now, Nightfall had become a serious threat. A group of dragons from several tribes banded together to deal the finishing blow to Nightfall, before they could cause any more damage. After a long and fierce battle that saw the end of many brave souls, Nightfall's energy was finally spent, and they fell to the combined forces. Some dragons at the scene reported seeing Nightfall's body almost melting into the ground to be soaked up by the earth, never to be seen again (this time, seemingly, for good).

==== The NightWing Exodus ''4,998-5,999 A.S.'' ====

Queen Battlewinner was crowned as queen in 4,998 A.S. Foreseeing the NightWing volcano's eruption, in 5,001, Queen Battlewinner created the prophecy to end the war of SandWing Succession with the motive to overtake the rain-forest. In 5,002, Queen Battlewinner took an IceWing’s ice breath blast to the throat, limiting her ability to speak. Princess Greatness acted as Battlewinner's messenger, delivering all orders to the tribe. Rumors started to spread that Battlewinner was dead, but these were later proven false. In 5,003, Deathbringer, an assassin, was sent on a mission to kill General Tempest of the SeaWings, but such that it was to be believed to be an act of the MudWings. This ultimately led to the MudWings breaking their alliance with the SeaWings. In 5,011, the island volcano erupted, causing all the NightWings to flee from the island. Queen Battlewinner was killed in the eruption. Queen Glory of the RainWings allowed the NightWings to live in the rain forest on the condition they bowled to her rule as their queen. The NightWings accepted thus, crowning Queen Glory of the RainWings and NightWings, the first dual tribe ruler since the time of proto-dragons.

In the same era, Darkstalker woke from the spell binding him, managing to escape his prison under Agate Mountain. Darkstalker attempted to take back the NightWings’ tribe as a self-proclaimed king, thus also becoming the first male dragon to ever rule, leading the majority of the tribe back to the Lost City of Night located on the Talon Peninsula. Darkstalker rekindled the 2,000-year-old war between NightWings and IceWings by using animus magic to start a deadly plague in the Ice Kingdom, killing Queen Glacier in the process. Under the rule of a new IceWing queen, Queen Snowfall, a military operation started, targeting Darkstalker. The IceWing and NightWing armies battled at Jade Mountain, in a showdown of thunder and ice. An animus spell from an unknown source allowed all dragons on the battlefield to hear each other's thoughts before teleporting the soldiers back to their home, leaving just Darkstalker and his mother, Foeslayer. Foeslayer tricked Darkstalker into eating an enchanted strawberry, ending his reign of terror once and for all.

All the NightWings returned to the rain forest under Queen Glory for the next eight years, until in 5,020, when a group of 27 NightWings led by Fierceteeth left to return to their true home, the Lost City of Night. These dragons created a new settlement called Renewal. By 5,030, enough NightWings had returned to Renewal for it to be worth crowning their own queen once more, Queen Fierceteeth of the NightWings. By 5,035 almost all NightWings had rejoined their tribe in Renewal, leaving the rainforest behind. In 5,100, a Blood Red Moon was recorded. In 5,200, construction began on a new NightWing Palace, building on the ruins of the Lost City of Night.

==== Starlight Commerce Revolution ''6,000-7,499 A.S.'' ====

 

 

 

In 6,120, a Blood Moon was recorded. All eggs were taken inside the kingdom, to avoid the tales told from the old scripts. The sky went blood red and some NightWings reported that they felt more aggression during their exposure to the moonlight, having hateful thoughts.

 

In 6,128, a NightWing/HiveWing dragon claiming to be the son of one of the scholars sent to study the ''Book of Clearsight'' arrived from Pantala. Said dragon's name was Rapture, and he began to study his abilities as well as building systems for more efficient trading. By 6,130, Rapture had started the Merchant's Guild, which brought all trading markets together under a single roof. In this system, only one merchant license was needed for cross-tribe trading of NightWing goods, as well as introducing the idea of credit and interest. The guild was additionally an official extension of the crown, meaning merchants were now allowed to carry specialized items. By the time of 6,135, this new trading format had spread throughout most of the other kingdoms. The NightWings built a massive trading area known as Dawnburst Trading Outpost, in response to the growing popularity of their established systems, in 6,140.

 

 

==== The Age of Astral Discoveries ''7,500-7,719 A.S.'' ====

 

 

 

 

 

In 7,650 [[Starseeker|King Starseeker]] was crowned followed by King Fox in 7,668. Tensions rose with the MudWings in 7,687. War was threatened, but never reached.

 

 

 

 

 

 

==== The Frostburn War ''8,008-8,023 A.S.'' ====

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the war ended in 8,023, King Rapture quickly left the Firebound Alliance due to the war being over and not seeing any reason to remain a part of it. After the [[Frostburn War#Battle at Rainforest's Edge|Battle at Rainforest's Edge]], refugee efforts were sent under King Rapture's command. Prince Silentseer and others went to the rain forest with a small group of NightWings to gather up injured RainWings and bring them back to safety.

 

 

 

==== The Celestial Conundrum ''8,024-8,124 A.S.''====

 

 

 

 

 

 

Celestial Silentseer continued the research that Rapture started on the Blood Moons, as well as expanding his gaze to the fabled Blue Moon in 8,059. Not much information was found in the scrolls of old, but there was a mention of a very bright and large blue moon being noticed in the sky during the early days of the Night Kingdom. It is theorized that this could be a type of super moon which has not been seen in generations. It can also be assumed that blood moons may have this type of variant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later that year, the Glasscough Plague broke out in the Kingdom of Sand. To prevent the disease’s spread, the Night Kingdom promptly closed their border to the desert kingdom. The Barchan Pharoah [[Lemongrass]] fell ill, causing Regent [[Cassiope]] to step up. The regent’s behavior caused unrest and dissatisfaction, causing the alliance between the two tribes to be dissolved. Additionally, the Kingdom of Night’s government was restructured, officially being renamed, “the Kingdom of the Moons”, and changing from an absolute monarchy to a federal monarchy with four provinces and two territories all operating under the monarch.

The NightWings have their own currency, known as "Moonshards". One Moonshard is created with an amethyst stone in the centre surrounded by a silver ring with embedded runes. Moonshards also come in the form of a Moonchip, valued at 1/10th of a Moonshard. Moonchips are made with an amethyst centre, surrounded by a copper band with runes. A Moonslice is worth 1/2 of a Moonshard, and is made with an amethyst centre and bronze band with runes. A moonstone is worth 5 times a Moonshard and has an opal centre, surrounded by a gold band with carved runes. The most valuable of the currencies, a Moonchunk, is worth 20 times a Moonshard and is made with a black opal centre, and a gold band with inscribed runes.

 

1 Moonshard can be converted to 1.46 of the [[Generic Public Currency]].

 

*Jewelry and trinkets.

 

==== Graveyard Guilt ====

In 8022, a tale began to surface among soldiers of a vicious dragon with gleaming crimson eyes, their wings signed with the sigil of the tainted moon. It was said that the dragon cared not for the type of dragon they attacked, or of their social status. The tales spread among NightWings, and it was believed this was a dragonet of their tribe born under the forsaken blood moons. The stories have been written down and saved within the Athienruem Library for further review.

*The Night Kingdom is the tribe with the largest member count, despite being one of the smaller tribes in server lore.
