Nox
Nox
Description
The crimson moon’s surface is ever changing and chaotic. The ground is a shifting sea of molten rock, and the sky is a tapestry of shifting colors. The air is thick with the smell of brimstone and the sound of thunder. The creatures that inhabit Nox are a mix of aberrant and chaotic, and they are all dangerous and unpredictable.
Magma bubbles up through the crimson rocks, the smell of brimstone expunging all other senses. Great bulges of aberrant fauna crack open the jagged soil. The sky bleeds a marble glint onto the horizon, almost like a beacon of hope in the dark chaotic world, but alas. There are no constants in this ever shifting plane, no certainty and no points of reference. It is a place of lost souls, and dangerous creatures, unbound by that alien concept of “justice”.
The Red Moon of Myrth, Nox the eternal. A land bound only by the cosmic truth - that chaos has no shape or constant form. Its features shift constantly, the only common aspect being the crimson colored soil. Storms are a constant threat, coming as acid rains and fiery debris that fall from the sky. But even more obtrusively, the plane affects one’s mind and moods in a psychic onslaught - forcing the weak willed to be overcome by chaos. And as if that was not enough, great areas of Wild Magic exist as the lines between the Myst Aether and the Red Moon become blurred.
Cities exist on the rugged land, mostly carved out from deep caves and fortified by divine magic. Many dot the land, but they are as dangerous as the wilderness around it, for the denizens consist of all manner of chaotic outsiders.
Dominion of Chaos
Section titled “Dominion of Chaos”Nox is not ruled. It is not owned. It does not want to be owned, so it won’t allow it. What exists instead of governance are extreme factions, and those with the power to enforce their will become dominant. These factions are known as Circles by some, and the most powerful of these determine the progress and ambitions of all the plane’s denizens.
| Circle | Description |
|---|---|
| Arx Covex | The first natives of Nox were the Eladrin, a intra-dimensional race who settled on Nox as it was birthed from the Transient Myst. They hold no moral affiliation, but worship the Chaos Dragon Okantunth - The Mammoth Dread - whom they have bound to the plane of Nox. The Convex holds the most sway over the realm and have formed many great cities. Leadership is named after the clerical sect of Okantunth - the Arx Convex. Their sole purpose is to serve the will of the Chaos Dragon, and wage the eternal war to eradicate the influences of Aegis on the cosmos. |
| Proteans | Considered the strongest creatures in all of Nox, the Proteans is a collection of powerful Empyrean Titans who revel in chaos and destruction. They follow no rules and consider no guidance, but through the promise of glorious battle they can be persuaded to any cause. |
| Circle of the Chaos Queen | At the forefront of the destructive natures of the Red Moon stands the divine sect of the goddess of chaos itself, Seth. Those who serve her serve the Circle, and their loyalty is bound to her will. It is said that the goddess herself has a sanctuary at the heart of the realm, and by the nature of the land itself her influence there is especially strong. |
