Great Eclipse

The Great Eclipse, or merely the Disappearance of the Sun, was a worldwide event that occurred between the 18th and 25th of September 2021. A group of vampires from Eldham enacted a ritual to block the sun for days at a time, and the world suffered from these actions as many nations went into famine, and many religions believed the end of the world or divine punishment was occurring.

Many nations faced immediate risk of famine due to the lack of sunlight to grow crops. The Aurlunor Velande, for example, stockpiled food for public distribution, introduced rationing, and issued lockdowns complete with an internal passport system. However, after much experimentation, a method of growing crops and wild plants by moonlight with magic assistance was discovered, ending the food crisis.

Many religions attempted to bring the sun back- notably Twin Dragon and Lux. On the 25th, the sun returned.
