"The Nocturnes? They were here before walls of the Covenant. They'll be here after its ruin."

Nocturne Order

The Nocturne Order is the city's high society, more so than an actual faction. The aristocrats, real estate magnates, and old-money dynasties who hold Port Valmorra's coffers in one hand and its throat in the other. They fund the factories, the shipyards, the guild halls. Their coin keeps the streets lit and the Covenant fed. But their charity is no gift.

Origins

When the Covenant Grounds first stabilized, it was noble houses and wealthy patrons who financed the walls to keep the chaos at bay. In return, they claimed titles, land and power. Over centuries, this wealth deepened, feeding on the hard work of the common folk. The Nocturne Order is one faction people simply cannot join or apply for. You are invited, or you are not one of them.

Beliefs & Goals

• Power flows through wealth and blood

• The common folk exist to labor and obey.

• The Lawless Lands are a threat, but also a resource ripe for exploitation.

Allies & Rivals

The Nocturne Order mostly considers allies and rivalries to be child's play and does not concern itself with it. As such, they do business with the guilds as needed, and are not afraid to cut heads when they stick their necks out too much. The Nocturne Order does not discriminate or show favoritism.
