Addressing the Noctees's contributions to the field of military science and tactic would take another paper for explaining. Not only because of their strategic sophistication, but because their stile of waging war has influenced many other peoples. For example, Griffon military would've never learned the Spear Tip strategy that Drackard usually display in battles if they had never entered in conflict with the Western Collectivities, and pegasus troops would never have developed the Cage unit

In matter of days and time measurement, and because of their magical customs' sophistication, the Noctees manage two kinds of calendars: one to measure the year, or Day Calendar, and one to measure their religious festivities and periods of conjuration, or Night Calendar.

Despite there are some technical differences, the Day Calendar resembles much to the standard pony calendar, with four seasons and the same number of months, but the Night Calendar is far more larger and complex.

In these occasions it's common for Noctees to hold a feast which includes the entire Coven, followed by a series of chants and dancing that very often last the entire night. The next day is used entirely for resting (and very possibly dealing with hangovers).

Many are the differences between the two religions, even with Alicornism as to state them all in a single work. Suffice to say that for a long time, Horsemasterists have seen Noctees as pagans, and in the case of the Ninghtmancers, demons.

Noctees have almost as manydifferent deities as Nightmancer families there are, each one representing a night in particular, like the patrons or saints in popular culture, but what is always present in every Noctees' pantheon is the presence of a deity named Naqesis, the protector of the Noctees and the goddess of the Night itself. She is supposed to guard the Spirit of Shade, which is believed to be the source of Nightmancer's powers.

Perhaps more mysterious than the Nightmancers themselves are the whimsical people of the Machik. Just to be clear, even though the information about them is almost non existent, their presence can be traced, at least in paper, into the very bosom of royalty, which is why it was considered in order to add them to the final research paper. Despite the fact that it would be interesting to analyze the structure of the royal family tree and others less noble houses in Equestrian and their
