Evergloam is a realm of annihilation created and ruled by Nocturnal, the goddess of night. This is a realm of eternal twilight, and the "cradle of shadows." Eternal Dusk consists of a main realm and several sub-realms, including "Shade Perilous" and "Crow's Wood". These areas are considered to be in constant flux, and are perceived differently by different people. Among them, the dangerous shadow area that needs to be entered from the battle spire was captured when Merunes Dagon attacked the battle spire, and was later used as a gift to the frost demons and the fire demons.
"Ebonmere", also known as "Ebony Pond", connects the passage between eternal dusk and the present world. Ebonmere is located in the Twilight Sepulcher in Skyrim. This place is filled with the ethereal people of Nocturnal, bathed in eternal twilight. Ebony Pond can only be opened by the Skeleton Key. Although this magical artifact is often stolen from the cemetery by mortals, it always seems to return to the embrace of the cemetery after a period of time. This "cat-and-mouse" game among thieves is said to be a way to please Nocturnal.
The Nightingales are a secret organization of the Thieves Guild, who pledge their souls to Nocturnal and guard the safety of Ebony Pond and the Skeleton Key. When nightingales died, it was believed that their souls merged with the shadows. As long as Ebony Pond remains open, the spirit of the dead nightingale can "walk with the shadows" and bring good luck to thieves. As Nocturnal's agents in Mundus, the nightingales were allowed to drink the water of the Ebony Pool and gain powerful magical powers.
Skeleton Keys are undoubtedly a favorite among thieves in Tamriel. This magical artifact is a lockpick that will never break, and according to the Nightingale Society, this key can not only open locks, but also open everything, including the endless potential deep in the human soul. Another artifact of Nocturnal that is less well known is the Bow of shadows, which allows the user to become invisible and increase speed. It is said that the last time he appeared in Nirn in the world, he turned into an elf hero. All owned by Nerevarin.
"Few professions require practitioners to be more self-sufficient and independent than a thief. A thief is essentially a lonely person. He does not trust anyone and is not trusted by anyone. He will not join the apprenticeship of some master thief. As an apprentice, there was no one to collect and compile his theft skills. He carefully completed his crimes alone in the darkness of night. Even during the day, he was careful to avoid being caught.
Nocturnal is the only patron saint recognized by thieves. But while she is not a true goddess, this Daedra lord is undoubtedly a powerful figure. She is the master of shadows, of secrecy and anonymity. She makes no demands on her admirers, nor does she necessarily bring any blessings to those who know her. In fact, there is no temple to her in Cyrodiil, though there are rumors of a forgotten temple related to her. In other words, the concealment she represents perfectly matches the criminal psychology of the thief.
Overall, thieves are atheists. They only believe in their own skills and their own cunning. However, the Rogues have an uneasy relationship with Nocturnal due to the presence and undeniable influence of the gods and Daedra on the living world. While some thieves truly adore her, most choose to offer their respect and respect rather than their loyalty.
These criminals realize that if they offend the master of the shadow, it will be very bad for them. However, there are no known benefits to true worship and devotion. A classic blessing among thieves is "May the shadows accompany you wherever you go." This is an indirect reference to Nocturnal. However, this statement can also be interpreted as an objective statement of a thief hiding in the shadows.
Thieves often wear black or dark-colored night clothes. While this was helpful for their crimes, it became unnecessary during the day. However, many thieves still wear these colors during the day to silently pay respect to Nocturnal and wish to be blessed.
The most shocking relationship between the nebulous culture of thieves and the demon god Nocturnal is the legend of the Gray Fox. Gray Fox is the imaginary king of thieves. According to this legend, the gray fox stole Nocturnal's mask. Apparently, this is just a story concocted centuries ago to enhance thieves' sense of self-worth. However, it also illustrates Nocturnal's ongoing relationship with Imperial criminals. ”——“Hiding with the Shadow”.
"Good day, my lord." Nightingale Kaliya, who traveled day and night, could not conceal her exhaustion and excitement.
"Good day, Kaliya." The lord saw that she had fulfilled her promise: "So you found the skull key."
"And the Shade Sickle, The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal, and The Eye of Nocturnal." Nightingale Ka Leah deserves her name.
"Wow..." Even the lord couldn't hide his surprise: "You have found all the magical artifacts related to Nocturnal."
"Yes, my lord." Nightingale Kalia said the key point: "I heard the goddess's whispers, so I found all the artifacts, because this is related to the arrival of the goddess."
Looking at each other in tacit understanding with the housekeeper, the lord smiled and asked: "So, Nocturnal wants to be my 'Ring Goddess'?"
"That's it, my lord." As he spoke, Nightingale Kallia recited the famous saying related to Nocturnal: "'The song is still there, but the song has disappeared. There is no tune, no melody. , only rhythmic whispers echo in my ears. Serve her, become a shadow, become a whisper. Quietly, moving slowly, but unable to escape. I am trapped in the darkness, the shadow sticks to my clothes. I speak but Silent, I see but blind. Blind, so blind that there is nothing but her will.'"
For Nocturnal, the most famous title is "Ur-dra", which means that she is "the eldest and most powerful Daedric Lord" and is ruled by the Empire. A survey by the Geographical Society found that this is a title recognized by almost all Annihilation Kings. The Khajiit in the past also used this title to describe Namira. Although the meaning of this title conflicts with Nocturnal's will to a certain extent, it also explains why Nocturnal claims to be part of the original void. Nocturnal comes from Lohaji. (Lorkhan) A piece of black blood in the heart of darkness (Black Blood, also called 'Godsblood' or 'Ebony', the familiar ebony/ebony flows from the heart of darkness in Khajiit mythology), that is, a piece of "original blood" "A piece of primal Void". The Khajiit claim that "before Annihilation, there was Nocturnal." Hermoeus Mora was also known as "Ur-Daedra", meaning "older than our ancestors".
Nocturnal has a close relationship with crows, and is often described with crows. It is said that the crows around Nocturnal can even speak. Nocturnal is summoned on the third day of Hearthfire, but she can be summoned at any time in the temple dedicated to her. Nocturnal's enemies are Reymon Ebonarm, Meridia, Meluneth Dagon, and Azura.
"How can Nocturnal be brought to the world?" In fact, the Lord asked: Why should Nocturnal voluntarily serve the Lord's Dragon Breaking Law.
Nightingale Kallia gave a convincing answer: "My lord, this is all related to the Heart of Darkness."
