When [[Slith]] caused a triple eclipse of the sun and began the [[Eternal Night]], a new horror was visited upon the people of Sapience. Every night at midnight a powerful and monstrous being known as the '''Nychtaur''' would appear in a randomly chosen city. It would rampage through the streets, slaying any it came upon, and often took huge parties of warriors to dispatch. | When [[Slith]] caused a triple eclipse of the sun and began the [[Eternal Night]], a new horror was visited upon the people of Sapience.

The beast's origin was eventually revealed. Uncounted centuries earlier, after the conclusion of the [[War of Humanity]], the [[God|Goddess]] [[Valnurana]] mourned the lost race of [[unicorns]] that had been destroyed in the final battle. She had made a bargain with the God [[Thoth]], offering Him something unknown in exchange for allowing the souls of the unicorns to reside with Her in the Dreamrealm. As a condition of Their bargain, however, Thoth kept to Himself the soul of a single male, promising to yield it to Her when "the night swallows up the sun and moon." | The beast's origin was eventually revealed.
