Nocturnus
"Witness of the Last Star"
"I will fight until I fall. In death, I shall remember."
"Etch me into your sword. Let your legend carry my echo."
"When the emptines finds the mirror, the wound shall reflect the blade. And one will die with a name. The other will live with a purpose."
Vigilance was one of Ecclesia's Archons, an angelic being forged from Divine Will and blessed by the first High Prophet.
-
He was designed to embody clarity, watchfulness, and radiant judgment—the flame that reveals sin.
-
He could see all lies, discern the futures of heretics, and purge with sacred fire.
-
Many said his wings were mirrors, reflecting what you were rather than what you claimed to be.
His image is still depicted in stained glass and paladin heraldry—a false memory, enforced through sacred rites and rewritten scripture.
His "ascension" was used to inspire generations of holy knights and inquisitors.
- The God of Ecclesia (whose true name is lost or hidden—perhaps Eleutheros, the Chainbinder) chose to sacrifice him.
-
His creative spark burned brightly enough that even the gods feared he might unravel the structure of their dominion—not out of rebellion, but by sheer awareness.
Vigilance, being a Godspawn, was too pure, too radiant—and thus dangerously unstable in the eyes of the gods.
-
Each battle is not conquest—but a desperate etching of self onto the world.
-
Nocturnus no longer remembers who he was—but deep within, something stirs each time he crosses blades with a worthy soul.
As part of his transformation in Naelen Vur, Inaiuz stripped Vigilance of his identity, allowing only the echo of purpose to remain.
- He never speaks of glory, only record—his final wish is that someone, somewhere, will carve his form into myth.
-
He spares children, the lost, and the broken—he sees shadows of who he once protected.
He seeks only warriors of legend, and refuses to kill the unworthy. If they can't defeat him, they were never meant to remember him.
