Sabar Lambay Raad (concept)

The Sabar Lambay Raad, or the 'Longest Night', was the first of the Chan Skorpokaipis; four separate near-apocalypses widely agreed to be the fault of Vidvaookeyatran scholars.

The Longest Night began when scholars of the academy in Haryaadad attempted to experiment with a recently uncovered spell that was believed to grant the caster the ability to see in darkness. Instead, the ritual caused the academy to be torn from Aeras and launched towards Aervalr, which promptly seemed to move and eclipse the sun. While all of Kashirya was bathed in perpetual night, anyone leaving the region found the sun rising as normal, somehow only Kashirya seeming to be eclipsed. Vidvaookeyatran attempts to solve the issue were fairly disastrous, leading to events such as the brief summoning of a second, miniature sun which turned the city of Pethykloo to ash, and another which caused hundreds of food stockpiles across Kashirya to immediately spoil. The perpetual twilight and the spoilage led to a massive famine that would wrack the region for several years.

The sun would not appear again for almost a year, when a cabal of Magi from the Aristaykan and Daramarjaratan faiths along with the Aversarian Magi Mechyos Prothex managed to cast a spell to cancel the first. This cost all of them their lives, besides Mechyos and the Aristaykan Magi-Guru Vogib, who would become fast friends after recovery and proceed to explore the world togther. Vidvaookeyatran scholars claim that the spell merely advanced time slightly, and that the year-long localized eclipse wasn't magical but a natural yet unexpected cosmological event.
