OOC:
Guys, for reference it's currently about 11pm.
Myrneth stirs from the floor and looks wide eyed at Blackstar. Reaching inside his tunic he pulls out a scroll and hands it to your group.
OOC:
The following is not the contents of the scroll verbatim. Instead it's a summary of the content.
Quote:
Myrenth is a wizard from the hamlet of Sorrow’s Reach in a realm he calls Darkshire. That realm, along with the realm of Bloodstone, was destroyed in an event he calls the Nightfall.
The Nightfall is not merely an event, it’s an entity, a malignant force which has ripped lands from across the Continuum and
drawn them around itself like a great shell or cocoon.
Deep within the cocoon, the Nightfall is spawning. As a single entity, the Nightfall is a threat to entire realms. A ravenous brood of such entities would be a threat to the entire Continuum.
The Nightfall binds the lands together using the Weave, a network of dark energies which connect the various lands and can be
travelled, albeit with some difficulty.
The Nightfall’s grip on the various lands is tied to its grip on the Icons: through their power or actions, the Nightfall exerts control
by proxy.
Myrenth posits that some denizens of the Weave are simply people from other realms who were caught there during the Nightfall.
He believes some of these may know the secrets of travel between lands. The Nightfall’s grip is weakest over the land of Durnham, once from the realm of Bloodstone. Any attempting to challenge the Nightfall would be best served by starting there.
