House Nocturne

House Nocturne is a criminal organization and the primary antagonist of the first chapter of The Dark Province campaign. Operated primarly by cobalt dragons and their human servants, House Nocturne sought to lift the Darkness from Lariau by resurrecting Nonox.

Keladonus
Keladonus was a female cobalt dragon and representative of the cobalt faction at the Concordat Draconium in the Sunken City. It was her machinations that temporarily returned Nonox to Urth and could potentially have brought about the cataclysmic destruction of all life. Her sons, Astrianos and Azuregos, were defeated prior to the Battle for the Sunken City by military forces acting for Mount Martyr. She was killed by those same forces during the Battle.

High Inquisitor De Soya
De Soya was a male werewolf working under direct orders from Kaledonus at The Edge. He had two inquisitors working under him: Thessaline, a female eladrin scientist who would eventually defect to Mount Martyr; and Pritchett, a male human who was killed during an invasion of The Edge. De Soya was responsible for maintaining one of House Nocturne's many Sleeper Hives, facilities dedicating to converting kidnapped Lariau citizens into members of their servitor legion for use by House Nocturne. Among those converted into servitors was Balasar, a male dragonborn soldier from Promisetown, the individual for which Mount Martyr was searching when The Edge was invaded. Puck was among the survivors rescued from the Sleeper Hives at The Edge.

Current Affairs
Presently, House Nocturne is assumed to have been quieted by the defeat of its prominent leaders and the Illumination. However, many assume that a small group of loyalists are still operating in the region towards some other inscrutable purpose, likely involving Nonox and the Darkness.
