Noeven
////



They beleve themselves the superior race because of their phenomenal strength and demonic powers. Not all demons agree with this philosophy however, since most who do are of the Upper Class. There are only two classes in Noeven culture; the rich and the poor. Peasants who serve royal families earn a better living for their own families, so many of the Rich class have hundreds of servants waiting on them. They can be barbarians in battle and have no treaties with anyone.



The Demon lands, a land of hills and dark forests shrouded in mystery and storms. Led by the Lupe family for generations. It is led by the Arashi royal family; Emperor Ran, Empress Yuki, and their only son, Takashi. It homes the demons and other dark creatures, as well as the assassins of the world. It is a desert-like land home to many caves, large mountains, crashing rivers, and hidden oasis where many of the villages reside beside. Most of the cities are within the few forests surrounded by rivers and lakes dotted across the land. They are a people who are wary of most travellers, and tend to keep to themselves. The capital city is called Kerang and it is the crown jewel of the nation. It is one that is heavily influenced on our Asian culture in both clothing and architecture.

They are deemed as the most barbaric society, mainly because of their violence in battle and anger towards most other species. It is also because of their isolation from other lands and species. Regardless of the fact that the lower class would be welcome to change and new-found allies, their actions towards other nations in the past - namely Goleta and Fashrade - have made them outcast to the other nations and they have few to no allies on their side should a battle ensue.

They follow the same basic system of rank as the Elves, but with some difference. Their rank is as follows: Royal Family, Nobles, Soldiers, Middle Class, Lower Class. All the different classes wear the same kind of Middle Eastern clothing on a daily basis, with the African clothing being the clothes worn for hunting. Both males and females know how to hunt and fight in their harsh landscape, with the women commonly hunting for food and gathering fruits while the men protect the villages and country.

The flag of Noeven represents inner fire that burns within those who live there. The red and black colors were to represent different things that Noeven holds dear. The red half of the background represents their strong leadership and power in battle, the black half represents the mysterious nature of its citizens. The red wheel-like design in the middle represents that they steer their own way through life.

Kerang



The capital of the Demons, it is a grand sight to behold. It was built along the oasis and river that brings life into the kingdom and has zen-like gardens along the exterior surrounded by lush bamboo forests. Only the palace itself is allowed to be adorned in reds and golds, symbols of royalty. Those in the upper class can adorn their houses in any color, but most choose oranges and pinks that are closest to red to show their rank and status. Lower classes have basic homes adorned in natural products with little color, mostly being natural tones of brown, white, and grey. Many homes are of wood, straw, and paper and few consist of stronger materials.

The Grand Arena of Noeven is more of a Colosseum and many demons pride themselves in the entertainment of watching criminals fight to the death. They scoff at the Elves of Goleta who do not have such an arena for battle and practice. The Grand Arena lies near the outer boundaries of Kerang, far from royal eyes to see such bloodshed on a daily basis.

Ancient Japanese styles would be used for the royalty.
Ancient Chinese styles would be used for other nobles and soldiers (casual attire).
Korean styles would be used for the Peasants.

Noeven Religion


The religion of Noeven is close to that of Wiccan practices; ruled by a Moon Goddess and Horned God. Their belief is that with each life that is lived, one is that much closer to being with their Gods. As such, death is not something to be mourned over but celebrated. There are darker forms of this religion (bordering on Satanism) which are loosely based on the Dark Arts which are frowned upon by most of Noeven yet still openly practised in some areas. This religion has a very strict belief in the Law of Three which states that whatever a person sends out into our world shall return to them three fold either good or bad. This ties in elements of karma into this religion, meaning it is a mix of Wicca and Taoism in a sense.

Modern day has turned this very harmonious religion into darker senses as Kamawanaiyo's influence over the darker races (ie; demons) grew. More and more Noevens are turning to the darker ways of the religion. The darker side of this is now known as "Dark Noeven Faith" or "Noeven Cult".
