The Long Night

In the beginning, at the dawn of the the universe, when the old gods first birthed oceans, land, and mountains, when dragons still reigned in the southern world and the civilization of human-kind was in it’s infancy, there happened a terrible evil that broke loose into the land of Okarthaczil. It came along during the period of time most races refer to as “The Long Night”. A time when a dark shadow came across the whole known world, and everything was cast down into evil, and a seemingly eternal darkness. Decades past before those true to the ways of good, and light were able to pass, but unspeakable horrors manifested during this time.

The wickedness that found those unfortunate to come across it in Okrathaczil, grew at first from a faint whisper. Soon it would twisted and grow into a far more dark reality in it’s host. Hallucinations, bad omens, premonitions of evil. Eventually this lingering madness would hook it’s shadowy tendrils around the soul of those it hungered for. The most consequential of those devoured souls being that of The Great White Wyrm, Abraxxus. The wyrm  who lead those in the bleak, ice capped mountains in the south was consumed and possessed by this malign force. Once the demon had a hold of its most craved host, unspeakable horror broke loose inside the borders of Okrathaczil.
