Triad of the Night

The Triad of the Night was once a political alliance between Lord Twilight, Lady Ourania, and Lady Valnurana in Patronage to Hashan. Early Hashan Patronage was a unique cycle of these three Gods, a system reflective of the planetary rotation of the Supernal Triad and one that began right with the birth of the city. Over the next several centuries, however, the existence of the Triad was challenged and began to fall apart due to several circumstances. These include, but are not limited to, Twilight's ousting from Hashan around 332AF, His, Ourania's, and Valnurana's decades-long sleeping periods, Lord Neraeos' Patronship of Hashan with Ourania and Valnurana, and finally the destruction of the planetary triad itself during the Eternal Night in 427AF. Since the reawakening of the Moon and Dream Ladies in 385 and 426AF, respectively, They have expressed the Triad of the Night as merely a figment of history, acknowledging their past membership but officiating it no more.

Since this time, the Triad has at varying stages been stated by the Divine to presently exist, and other stages to not exist. The reasons for this are unclear, but the Divine have held that it is a matter of Their personal will. With the Divines Valnurana and Ourania both considering Themselves as separate from or not primarily affiliated with Hashan, the Triad of Night is presently considered inactive as of 995AF.

The Dome of the Triad in Hashan is the only monument on Sapience that commemorates this historical alliance.
