The Long Night (event)
Though some had hoped that the false twilight that emerged after the Sun's death would continue to bathe Aeras in a last, meagre ray of light and hope, even this proved too much to ask for. With little warning, the arcane phenomenon has rapidly diminished in COUNTY over the last few days, and now it has finally been enveloped by true, pitch-black night — forever.
As the area is entombed by ice and snow, there no longer being any source of warmth to keep the lethal cold at bay, what little human life was still clinging on to a miserable existence there is being snuffed out once and for all. Very soon, only shades, the undead and other twisted abominations that dwell in the dark will call this wretched place home.
Curses!
