Nocturnia



Nocturnia is one of the territories of Equestria.

Most of its population is made up of Batponies. Historically it has also been known as the Batpony Lands.

History
See also Timeline.

Nocturnia was the first nation to join the Council of the Tribes other than Equestria's founders (Gaia, Icaria and Ceria).

Ecology
Nocturnia is heavily forested and timber is a major resource.

Overexploitation of timber has always been controversial among the native Batpony population.

Architecture
Batponies have traditionally lived in caves. These caves have been turned into more elaborate forms of dwelling with apartment complexes being carved into rock. Although other forms of dwelling have been constructed to house the growing population, these apartments remain the most unique feature of the architecture of Nocturnia.

Games
In Nocturnian card games, a variant of the Equestrian deck of cards is commonly used where spearheads and Pegasi are replaced by moons and Batponies respectively.
