Noctia, known as Simdoc to the Yrwinese or Sidrún to the Scyltheldish, is the Chaotic Neutral goddess of the night, thieves, and trickery. She is the divine veil—the quiet that falls when grief becomes too loud to bear. While her sister Dagan represents the hope of renewal, Noctia represents the necessity of shadows, offering a space where the weary can rest, the grieving can hide, and the lost can dream.

She is depicted as a tall woman in constellation-trailed robes of deep violet and black. In one hand, she carries a silver lantern to guide the soul, and in the other, a crooked key to unlock secrets. Her holy symbol is the Silver Wolf, an emblem of the wild, misunderstood protector that watches over children and outcasts. Among her followers—thieves, orphans, spies, and "death midwives"—she is the patron of those who walk the roads of the liminal.

Noctia’s influence is found in the sudden unlocking of a door, the cooling of the air at dusk, and the comfort of a whispered dream. She speaks in riddles and fragments, valuing empathy over order and the sanctity of secrets over the harshness of truth. Her champions are the "Shadow-Walkers," saboteurs of tyranny and keepers of forgotten mysteries who believe that "darkness is not evil—only misunderstood."

In myth, Noctia’s grief over the death of her parents, Varangr and Auðmaer, was so profound that she tore a piece from the tapestry of existence to shroud the world in blackness. This act created Night, providing the first respite from the unrelenting sun. Though her sister Dagan eventually introduced the dawn to prevent eternal mourning, the two now maintain a sacred cycle of rest and rise. Noctia dwells in the Shadowed Plain, an onyx palace of twilight where she sits upon a throne of quiet reflection, tending to the souls of the lost and the weary.
