Nocte

Nocte, The Silent Hunter, presides over the enigmatic realm of shadows, a master of the unseen and the unheard in the sprawling deserts of Greater Qirus. He is the god of stealth, weaving a cloak of obscurity for those who tread softly, unnoticed, and unheard. As the deity of silence, Nocte commands the quiet, offering a sanctuary in the soundless corners of the world where secrets remain untold and actions go unnoticed.

But Nocte's realm isn't just about the physical act of remaining unseen or unheard. He also serves as the embodiment of secrets, unspoken words, and clandestine deeds. His influence touches all that happens beneath the surface, all that is hidden from prying eyes, and all that remains unspoken, giving comfort to those who bear secrets and work in the shadows.

Nocte's followers include rogues, spies, and assassins – individuals whose lives depend on their ability to operate unseen. However, his influence is not limited to those with malicious intent. Anyone who prefers the cover of shadow to the spotlight, who values silence over noise, or who carries secrets close to their heart, might seek the Silent Hunter's blessings.

Nocte is symbolized by a moth seamlessly blending into the night. The moth, an innocuous creature known for its nocturnal habits and its ability to blend into its surroundings, captures Nocte's essence perfectly. It represents the ability to move unnoticed, the preference for the cover of darkness, and the power of silent observation.

Worship of Nocte often takes place in quiet, secluded areas away from prying eyes. His rituals involve silent prayers, acts of stealth, and the sharing of secrets. His shrines are usually hidden, tucked away in shadowy corners, blending seamlessly with their surroundings, much like the god they honour.

Through the silent nights and shadowy corners of Greater Qirus, Nocte, The Silent Hunter, reigns supreme, offering a refuge to those who seek the comfort of shadows, the power of stealth, and the quiet that only the deity of silence can provide.
