The Nocturnal Palace is the ancestral home of the Ev'reuin Family of the world Alsakan.Built atop a cliff, and hidden within a deep valley overlooking the ruins of Old Archais the Palace has had a long and storied history. It has survived through wars, disasters, and more. While Old Archais crumbled away, the Nocturnal Palace remained, veiled in the mists and shadows of her perch. Near the close of the Clone Wars parts of the Palace Grounds and surrounding land was severely damaged by orbital bombardment. It was during this period that the Ev'reuin Family fled to the safety of the Hapes Cluster leaving Nocturnal in a partially ruined state. It has sense been repaired under the watchful eye of a custodianship of Nobilis appointed by the Ev'reuin Family. These Nobilis are led directly by a member of the Ev'reuin; and are supported by the Consilio Advisory.

Mist House

Reliquary Vaults

The Reliquary Vaults stretch deep under the Nocturnal Palace and can only be access from within Mist House or the Enclave. The Vaults were built by the Ev'reuin Family to serve as a replacement for the Museum of Cultural Preservation which was destroyed during the 7th Alsakan Conflict. The Vaults have, over the course of their history, held relics and information of significant note to the people of both Alsakan and the Greater Galaxy. During the evacuation and exodus from the Nocturnal Palace during the Clone Wars the Ev'reuin carefully emptied the vaults, and their contents were ferried to safety aboard the 'Legatum Ex Alsakandum'. The vessel suffered a critical engine failure upon arriving at its final destination in the Hapes Cluster where it has set and served as the '"Home Away From Home"' for the family prior to their return to Nocturnal. The artifacts and data aboard have sense been resecured in the Reliquary Vaults of Nocturnal.

It is rumored that the deepest of the vaults is used to story dangerous artifacts and potentially hazardous information as it was extensively renovated and fortified prior to the contents being restored. The Vaults are patrolled by unknown droids that do not match the insignia and colors of the Ev'reuin Family and their precise purpose and affiliation is unknown.

The Grounds

Nocturnal Gardens

Sacrum Cataracta

The Sacrum Cataracta is the name of the primary waterfalls that crest and fall down the cliff face to which the Nocturnal Palace sits atop. At the base the water pools into a natural basin. The Sacrum Cataracta is thoroughly filled with a misty fog at all times which permeates the entire area, allowing little sunlight to reach the often damp ground.

The site is known to be deeply respected by the native Alsakani, as the water flow has forged deep and wonderous caverns behind the falls and deep beneath the cliffs throughout time, which has unvealed beautiful and gorgeous gemstones deep within. The caverns and falls have served as the muse for numerous artists throughout time, and in recent times has become a popular exploration and spelunking location for adventurers visiting Nocturnal. Deep within the caverns there is said to be a secure facility that only Dain Vel Iblis has access to, and that its construction was not sanctioned. Sacrumcataracta.jpg
