NAME

The Queendom of Nyx is named after the Greek Goddess "Nyx".

In Greek mythology, Nyx is the goddess and personification of the night. In Hesiod's Theogony, she is the offspring of Chaos and the mother of Aether and Hemera(Day) by Erebus (Darkness). By herself, she produces a brood of children which are mainly personifications of primarily negative forces. She features in many early cosmogonies, which place her as one of the first deities to exist. In the works of poets and playwrights, she lives at the ends of the Earth and is often described as a black-robed goddess who drives through the sky in a chariot pulled by horses.

We chose Nyx simply because we were looking for a name for the nation and we liked history so we went for ancient Greek mythology and discovered Nyx. Since the Queendom started out with a ruling Queen it is a perfect fitting for the Queendom to be called Nyx. Nyx became the core of our nation's Greek mythological theme to where places, titles, etc could be named by other Greek Gods ONLY IF they are part of the Nyx family tree that we created. It is a very large tree, starting from Chaos down to Alexander the Great, Romulus, and Remus that's all.
