Fiction:The Nobi Nations of Drenol/Culture and Religion

Mythology
We have many myths, legends, stories, tall tales, and fairy tails that everyone knows, such as the story of "Treasure Planet" and "Haku the Water Warrior" and of course, "Skipper, the friendly Pirate". You can look them up here, in this section of our page.

The Warders
The Warders were supposedly and ancient species of hyperadvanced aliens, capable of doing just about anything, even to the point of manipulating time, and seeing into the distant future. The common stories about the Warders tell about them having been immensely strong, with strange and mystical powers over the world around them. They were said to be 9 ft tall, have jet black skin, with golden eyes and a set of equally golden wings, feathered. They were believed to have had 4 arms and 2 legs, though it is also said that they only has 2 arms. They were very wise, and lived forever. Granted, no one has ever encountered one, but if so many people think the same thing... They are extinct now, if they ever did exist.

Treasure Planet
Treasure Planet is a legendary place with enough wealth to "Buy a Galaxy and everyone in it", as the old saying goes. It is related to the Warders, in that there is Warder tech thats supposedly connected to the planet. Treasure Planet itself has a very distinct appearance. It has 6 moons, each one orbiting a different path. According to legend, they orbit like electrons around the nucleus of an atom, and even leave glowing trails behind them. The "glow' is supposed to be gold dust being pulled behind the moons, but thats unlikely. The planet itself is covered in jungles and forests, with small scattered lakes and ponds across it. It is supposed to be full of venomous plants, forgotten machinery, and deadly defensive traps set by the pirates. It is also said that Treasure Planet is guarded by the ghosts of the pirates that once used it as a base, but that isn't known to be true either. There is a story around its creation, and this is the most widely accepted version of that story.

Haku, The Water Warrior
"Haku, The Water Warrior", is a story about a warrior that used water as her only weapon. She could manipulate water to do anything, even to the point of controlling other peoples bodies by moving the water in their blood and cells. She was said to be a great heroin, and this is the most common version of her story.

Childhood
Summary: Haku was born on a small, backwater planet, in an ordinary village with ordinary parents and upbringing. She made friends, scuffled and fought like all the other ordinary children, and even fell in love a few times with childhood sweethearts.

Haku was born as the second child of the mated pair Loi and Aruli Camario. She was always a little weird, she had no fear of water, even before she could swim. Her parents never understood why she had no fear of it, but they just accepted that and moved on. Haku, as she lived her life, wrestled and played with the other children, became friends with them. She had her own little gang, a group of herself and 3 others who ruled the children's world. They set the hierarchy, and Haku was on top. She was always strong for her age, and she used that strength to her advantage, taking control of the childhood bullies and using them to control the rest of the children. She said jump, they said "How High?", as was her power. Had she been left to herself, she would have become the leader of her people as an adult, but fate had other plans.

A Warrior
SUmmary: After Haku's secret power was discovered by the townsfolk, her parents sent her to a battleschool, with a full description of her power, and a note saying that she was now in the custody of the battleschool. In this battleschool, Haku would fight many enemies, meet her future husband, and meet her future arch rival. She, being one of the specially gifted students, was treated with respect by her teachers, which earned her the animosity of her fellow students.

Motherhood
Summary: When Haku found out she was going to be a mother, she was at once overjoyed and a little depressed, because now she could no longer be a warrior, but she was going to be a mother instead.

The Final Chapter
Summary: With her home destroyed, her children killed, and her husband no where to be found, Haku was in a rage. She wanted nothing more then to get revenge, and would let nothing stop her from that goal.

Skipper, The Friendly Pirate
"Skipper, The Friendly Pirate" is a story about a friendly pirate named Skipper, who was never any good at pirating because he always found reasons not to take what he captured. This is the most common version of the story.

Music

 * Lifes Like a Road- A positive song about never giving in, never giving up.
 * Etarnal Wanderers-A Roamer Song, commemorating a dead heroin and hero of theirs.

Illuminators
The Illuminators of the Haruna Nation are well known across the galaxy for their amazing skills with fire and light, they can do anything with it. Create fake space battles: check. Create amazing illusions and images: Check. Create powerful weapons capable of sterilizing an entire planet: check. Even so, the Illuminators are much loved around the galaxy, and their firework shows are the talk of the town, so to speak.

Movies

 * Endwar- A story about a war at the end o time, battling mighty demons and ghosts of the past, which resemble, strangely, the Xhodocto. A twist of fate, perhaps...?
 * The Story of Nira- A movie made about Nira's life story, from her birth to her death. More of a documentary then a movie.
 * Nira- A true movie, not a documentary, it has all the special effects and little additions that a good movie needs. It sticks to the facts, mostly, because the facts are cruel enough, dramatic enough, for it to be a good story.
 * Treasure Planet- The Movies version of Treasure Planet the story.

Wanderers Meet
Two wanderers, on their own lonely paths. Unknowingly, untryingly, they came one day to meet on their paths. (continue this)

Gladiator Battles
The Gladiatorial Games are just as brutal and blood filled as you would expect, with Niol fights (Niols are a type of reptilian predator that can rip apart most anyone in their path), Mock battles, fights to the death, and even tournaments and less violent games for the younger generations. Just like to note, with our technologies we can revive the dead, so technically no one actually dies forever, but their time dead is determined by how well they did in the battle

Niol Fights
Imagine a large, quadrapedial lizard, but about 9 feet long and fast as a bird. Got that? Now give it razor sharp teeth, a bad attitude, and one hell of bite. Thats a Niol. The Niol fights always end with either the Niol dead or the Gladiator dead, or both. Brutal, bloody, and very fun to watch.

Mock Battles
Mock Battles are anything but. The only thing "mock" about them is that they don't decide the fate of empires and nations, just that of your wallet. You get two small armies, and pit them against each other. The winners get to live in luxury, until they lose, at which point they are usually killed in battle. It is possible to win your way out of the games, but its a real pain to do.

Fights to the Death
Is it really that complicated? Get two gladiators, and see who lives. Certainly bloody enough for the more... aggressive of our species. The only rule: Win, at any costs. But all rules were meant to be broken.

Tournaments
Various tournaments are held every so often. Say, a series of battles to the death, with the victor of one battle going against the victor of another battle. Same with Mock battle Tournaments.

Other Games

 * Flagtag-
 * Groxbattle-

 * Game of Life-

His children are the 13 lesser gods.

The Lesser Gods
Each of the lesser gods is a child of Kaka-Ilo-Kakas, and as such was granted part of his power when he died. Each one has a unique power that runs only in their bloodline.

He watches over the dead, and is the only family member to stay out of the Battle Between Brothers (as its called), and as such is respected by all factions.

She plays a small part in the Battle Between Brothers, namely that of peacemaker and g between, as she took no sides. She feels sorry that it has come to this, and wishes she could stop the battle.

Family Rift
Due to conflict between Arren and Cantro, helped along by Oppola, the 13 are divided against each other, and cannot watch over the universe as they should. Thats why they don't take part in the world anymore, they are embroiled in their battles.

The Cult worship demonic beings of great power, but whether of not they are real is unknown. These demons are said to be beyond evil it is their nature to destroy and consume other spirits and beings. WIth their great power they taint the universe, and will someday purge it of all those who are not pure. Pure being all those who are not evil in every way, all those who do not serve them.
