"what do you think?" the hufflpuff asks as he looks himself over in the mirror above the sink, smoothing his hair to one side with his wand - when it came to his hair, he often had no trouble performing simple charms. "right, or left?" he asks, glancing over at alex momentarily. "nancy usually likes it on the right," he suggests, before furrowing his brows, "or...my left. right? mine or hers..." he mutters to himself, too focused on his hair to really care. "how's it going, then? selma's looking quite nice tonight. i reckon she did that for you." he snickers, finally deciding on the right side and standing up straight to wash his hands. "that ilvermorny girl," ludo adds, wringing his hands dry, "says we talk funny. we talk funny," he laughs with a shake of his head. "she dances alright. light on her feet. you think nancy noticed me?" he concludes, obviously having one thing on his mind.

"But for you, I will be making an exception." - from @deficd for Nox from Agonia

"Oh?" The Sith tilts his dragon's horn-helmeted head, voice vocoded and sharp through the muzzle of his mask. Only the eerie, glowing crimson of Chiss eyes through the open visor give way to the being behind the armor. "I'm flattered."

Nox surveys the other Sith with all the interest and caution warranted another Dark Lord. His mind hums with the whispers of his spectral occupants, a chorus of conflicting suggestions and commands he's (mostly) learned to drown out over the years. Other times, Nox's skull feels as if yearning to split open, the impressions of the Sith spirits' moods and thoughts blended amongst his own, blurring together like blood down a drain. A constant, latent commentary running through and over his own thoughts, driving him to odd silences or muttered self-dialogues that drive others far from him.

The Empire’s citizens avoid their Sith overlords as much as they can. No one wants to be around one that talks to himself.

As for other Sith...well, Nox has earned himself a reputation for treachery since his days on Korriban. He has no shortage of enemies. Whether she is one of them remains to be seen.

"I have been told I'm rather exceptional."

Nox, The Ferrymen, and The Noxial cant

Nox's design drew me in. Nox's backstory kept me there. In the end, she became one of my favorite characters for both prior points alone. Which is why she received a lot of attention in the Cults, Cultures, and Cants Alternate universe project.

Not much to say right now, other than I have an idea of what her cult and language would be like. So, let's get into it.

Part 1: The Ferrymen

Beyond having each member's motivation be them just being obsessed with and immersed in death, there is not much I can say for the Ferrymen besides the fact that they each are vessels themselves for the remnants that Nox could have born all her own if she was still in canon. However, their presence provides a lightening of that load by taking a fraction of the souls from Nox into themselves. Through a process comparable to pouring a full cup of water into another glass until both are half full and both glasses being poured into a third one until each one is one third full and so on, the burden of the souls becomes easier to bear with each new member that joins the Ferrymen cult.

But that is just a perk of membership. The Boons (additional abilities found by joining a cult) of the Ferrymen include being able to summon a puddle of black viscous liquid that the Ferryman can sink into and rise from at almost any location allows them to be very mobile and hard to pin down. Which begs the question of why Nox herself didn't use this ability when she got captured still by the MBCC. The Rite (an ability performed by the entire cult, especially with the patron present) of this cult is still up in the air. But it may be that it has something to do with conjuring a black miasma that will drain the lifeforce of any pour soul within and forcefully absorb them into the ferryman soul collective.

As for aesthetics, the Ferrymen dress like they are constantly attending a funeral with their all-black clothing. They very much act like they are at one as well. However, the color scheme is the only common denominator among them as the cut and style of each member's clothing can vary wildly. Ranging from Sunday's best to raggedy strips to straight utilitarian. There are suits and ties, Lab coats, vestments, and a variety of chains, tokens, sigils, and even a top hat.

Weapons also vary among each member as well. There are the usual suspects like swords and spears. Others that need little imagination like hammers and scalpels. Some raise eyebrows like anchors, syringes, and even a book. All of them seem to reflect on that member's background before joining a cult. Such as a coffin maker wielding a hammer and some nails with brutal accuracy and a mortician with his various scalpels and a syringe filled with a black liquid that suspiciously resembles the liquid of their teleportation puddles.

And that is the gist of what I have in mind. Now, onto the Cant.

Part 2: Noxial.

Not much to say here, as I have recently gotten into making this. But I was initially stumped with what sort of feel I wanted the language to have. I knew for sure at the beginning that I wanted it to be a "language of the dead" but that could literally mean anything. Without a source of inspiration, I went to my conlanger Idol, Agma Schwa, and his cursed conlang, Hallowed Ween,

Granted, there were some interesting details in this language that I will definitely steal for Noxial. Namely, the naming system that tells when, why, and where a soul died, pronominal morphology that turns a pronoun into a personal modifier. Other than that, I didn't like the phonoaesthetic of Hallowed Ween, or I didn't really think that it would fit in with what I had in mind for Noxial. So, I was still stumped on that front. That was, until it hit me.

One language that inspired me in terms of phonoaesthetic was Babelingua's Lower East Wall,

The way the language is always whispered and gives the feeling of voices constantly muttering outside one's range of hearing. It was exactly what I wanted for Noxial. Another conlang was Kayinth's 'sksäx,

The clusters, voicelessness, and occasional vowel did nothing but reinforce the idea that this is what I want for the Ferrymen's cant.

Thus, Noxial will have little, if any, vowels and all consonants will be voiceless and breathy voiced at most.

Other than that, the rest of the conlang is still, very much, a work in progress.

Conclussion

There is still a lot to work on with the Ferrymen cult and the Noxial Cant. To be honest, I got inspired by this YouTube video,

To share my WIPs with you all on this site and the internet in general. From this point forward, I will be giving updates when I can on breakthroughs and developments as I continue to work on this faction and the other ones in the future.

For those of you who read this far, thanks.

With all that said, till next time... ;).

"I do, because you're not afraid to let it out around me and you can handle what I throw back at you." Leaning down Kyleigh playfully nipped at Ethan's nose. She knew how he felt about his sometimes feral nature but she actually didn't mind it at all. It showed how strong he was, how well he could protect her and that they could play rough if they wanted to without worry. "There's nothing that I can think of that would make me not like you, so don't worry so much. How about for now we get the hell out of here and go have some real fun?"

He smiled at her again, his eyes glinting yellow. "You like playin' with me then," he grunted. He looked down and shrugged. He always worried that his feral nature weirded people out, but now he was in a situation where his eccentricities were wanted. He nuzzled against her and looked back up. "I'm glad you like me, babe."
