BENONOCH is an executioner who wants out of the family business. Unfortunately for him, the Kingdom of Nocturnia is in shambles, and its trying its hardest to pull him back into a life of violence.
NOCTURNIA IS A KINGDOM IN SHAMBLES.
All of their rulers are dead or missing. To make matters worse, they’re under the constant threat of imminent attack from their archnemeses in SINISTERIA.
They need leadership - and fast! Many are vying for a say in the Kingdom’s course forward, including their FIERCEST WARRIORS, their CLERGY, their STABLE MAIDENS, and even a few INFLUENTIAL TOWNSFOLK.
One person they are NOT looking to hear from is their EXECUTIONER, BENONOCH, and that’s just fine with him. Recent events have him distraught and wanting out of the family business. He’s forsaken his axe, desiring a simpler, less public life, away from violence.Will the Nocturnians find the leader they need?
Will Benonoch find the peace and solitude he desires? Or will the disintegrating situation in their kingdom make them all have to reconsider? Their lives may depend on it.
Recently, we realized we were nearly out of copies our most popular print title, TALES FROM NOCTURNIA: THE COMPLETE LEGENDARY SAGA. People seem to really resonate with this story (we love it too!), and it's not one that we can ever have missing from our offerings.
We could've just reprinted the issue as-is, but we knew that refreshing the volume would be a better decision. WHY? Our stylings and standards have adjusted and improved since this was first released (especially on the lettering front). So we painstakingly reexamined every single page in the issue and made it the best it could be.
Our supporters (that means YOU) deserve it. The characters deserve it. So every single word, every single piece of dialogue, every interaction was scrutinized. we're confident you'll appreciate the results!
TALES FROM NOCTURNIA is known for it's wild cast of characters. From BENONOCH THE EXECUTIONER, to the STABLE MAIDENS, to the SINISTERIANS, we cover a lot of ground.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE NOTABLE CHARACTERS YOU'LL COME ACROSS IN OUR TALES:
MORE CHARACTERS WILL BE ADDED SOON!
DARN RIGHT THERE IS! Something that sets INSYMMETRY CREATIONS apart is that there is original metal music we write, play, and produce that ties into, and enhances, our stories. There are currently SIX metal songs that are tied into TALES FROM NOCTURNIA. Below you can see the MUSIC/LYRIC video for the song LOVELORN BETRAYAL! (this video ties NOCTURNIA into the larger HEIRS OF ISILDUR extended universe).
