Nightfall

Era beginning/end

Nightfall, the Fall of Night, the God War, the War in Heaven, the Demon War. These are all names for the same event, for which there is no set date. This is when the Demon Gods were cast into the earth, their minds set to slumber. The People of Sun and River have records that date back to these days, but only their priests may read those ancient texts.

The Nightfall is the name given to war that occurred starting with the first binding of a demon and ending with the fall of the Demon Gods. Very few written accounts survive, and those that have are considered to be sacred and forbidden texts. Different cultures call this event different names, but it is present in almost all cultures, even that of the Firelanders. Merchants from the Jeweled Cities say that even in the far off Southlands they refer to an event known as the "The Coming of Light", which shares many elements similar elements to the cultural memory of Nightfall in Terraneus, despite the opposite naming.
