History

Ancient Axdel

The earliest recorded incidence of settlers in the Axdel area dates back to 4281BCE, where like minded religious groups began living communally in small villages. These people were divided into two peaceful sects; the Noct people, who worshipped the god of death, Noct, and behaved jingoistically. And the Sek people, who worshipped the god of life, Sek, and behaved more peacefully and impartial compared to the Noct. The two sects often had human sacrifices, with the Noct preferring to burn their victims alive over a bonfire, and the Sek usually left sacrifices hung on poles, where carrion birds would eat them alive.

Beginning in 752BCE, the Noct people began constructing City forts, vast metropolis's surrounded by defensive walls. The first city fort built was named Fort Noct, With modern day Nniikt being build over it's original site.
