1969: The Rift of Nelous and the Darkness Unleashed

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

In the fateful year of 1969, a cataclysmic event shook the foundations of The Veil of Tears—a crack appeared in the fabric of reality itself, overseen by the vigilant deity Nelous. From this gaping maw between realms spilled forth a malevolent tide of unspeakable horrors: demons with infernal visages, beasts twisted by dark sorcery, and shadows that hungered for mortal souls. The once-bright skies of Selenia were shrouded in an impenetrable darkness, and the realm descended into an era of despair and terror.   The toll of death and devastation mounted as brave warriors and valiant mages fought valiantly against the encroaching darkness. Yet, hope flickered like a fragile flame amidst the encroaching shadows.   Bristolus Hermes and the Breaking of the Treaty   Amidst the chaos, Bristolus Hermes, a figure of enigmatic power within the Council of Twelve Roses, made a fateful decision born of desperation and grim necessity. With grim resolve, he dared to break the sacred Treaty of Gallies, wielding forbidden necromantic arts within the ancient halls of Castle Canterberry. Through arcane rites and sacrificial incantations, he sought to harness the dark energies necessary to seal the rift that threatened to consume the world.   In a moment of profound sacrifice and perilous reckoning, Bristolus Hermes succeeded in his daunting task. Castle Canterberry, now transformed into a bastion of arcane power known as the Jail, stood as a solitary sentinel against the encroaching darkness. Bound by his oath and consumed by the energies he had wielded, Bristolus became inexorably linked to the seal he had forged, drawing strength from its mystic bonds to keep the malevolent entities at bay.   Over time, Bristolus Hermes's form changed, imbued with the very essence of the seal he guarded. He became a living conduit of arcane might, forever bound to his solitary vigil within the confines of Castle Canterberry. The Twelve Roses, recognizing the magnitude of his sacrifice and the weight of his burden, decreed that he would remain confined within the castle's walls, a guardian and warden of the darkness imprisoned below.
