History
Nocturnis was founded as a freehold in September of 2006 by Crinos, Alara the Drake, Voltar Ironwolf and Sylvanista de'Ebonydaryth. Nocturnis was welcomed into the Celestial Kingdom in August of 2007. Officers for reign 1 were chosen by drawing positions out of a hat about a week before the first meeting. The population quickly doubled when some members of Tiger Clan and their friends also decided to take up residence. Soon Nocturnis was invaded by another group of friends, the founders of Animus Discipulus, who also decided to stay. Nocturnis was declared defunct by King Distan of the Celestial Kingdom in May 2015. In January 2017, however Megiddo sel Esdraelon took up the reigns and by the power of Khaleesi Nesta D'Ebonydaryth, Nocturnis rejoined the Celestial Kingdom.
