Noon on the same day brought an unexpected phenomenon to the sky: the planets [[Noxtra]], [[Lunastra]], and [[Somnustra]] converged to eclipse the sun. As they aligned, however, the planets failed to continue on their paths, remaining at a standstill in front of the sun, and shrouding the land in darkness. Tavarius was soon found within the [[Vashnars|Vashnar mountains]] in the company of the [[Ourania|Ouranian]] priestess [[Isillinde]], [[Alariel]] of Hashan, the wizard [[Hycanthus]], and [[Ikant]] of Ashtan. | Noon on the same day brought an unexpected phenomenon to the sky: the planets [[Noxtra]], [[Lunastra]], and [[Somnustra]] converged to eclipse the sun.

A number of strange events surrounded the coming of eternal night: some were closely tied to the machinations of Tavarius, others were simply a result of the absence of sunlight, and still others signified the effect of the great shift in energies brought on by the eclipse. The [[triton|tritons]] stationed in the undersea city of [[Riparium]] left in a mass exodus; the oft-heard Oracle of the [[Mannaseh Swamp|Mannaseh]], [[Apollonia]], disappeared without a trace; each midnight, a massive [[nychtaur]] rampaged through the city streets of Sapience; the protective spirits of the forests disappeared; a strange portal known as [[the Thousandth Door]] began to appear in various places throughout the land; ethereal [[nightmare|nightmares]] roamed the land. Also coinciding with the other phenomena were the returns of the gods [[Thoth]] and [[Valnurana]] to mortal perception. | A number of strange events surrounded the coming of eternal night: some were closely tied to the machinations of Tavarius, others were simply a result of the absence of sunlight, and still others signified the effect of the great shift in energies brought on by the eclipse.

Held immobile within a mysterious ward of power, Tavarius was somehow gathering the energy from the sun, but his purpose still remained unknown. Then, in an effort to penetrate the ward, ritualists led by the [[Mithraea|Mitran]] priestess [[Aerilius]] unexpectedly uncovered the truth: Tavarius was none other than the feared [[Slith]], | Held immobile within a mysterious ward of power, Tavarius was somehow gathering the energy from the sun, but his purpose still remained unknown. Then, in an effort to penetrate the ward, ritualists led by the [[Mithraea|Mitran]] priestess [[Aerilius]] unexpectedly uncovered the truth: Tavarius was none other than the feared [[Slith]], prince of the [[undead]] and humanity's foe since its beginnings. | ||
