Night Domain

The night is a time of secrets and unavoidable truths - darkness, fear, and subterfuge that unmask the true natures of men and beasts. While the night covers the terrestial world in darkness, it opens up the celestial world, letting us see the moon, stars, and other heavenly bodies. It is the obsidian mirror of the cosmos, reflecting the sincerity of man and the gods. Haliya is best known for her connection to the night, as the avenger and nocturnal hunter of that which would cause the end of the world. Another is the Night Maiden, using the night as the stage to perform clandestine acts of mercy and murder, all for a more noble world.
