Great Rains of Rathnir

The Great Rains of Rathnir is a phenomenon wherein the entire world experiences seemingly endless storms for weeks on end.

The First Great Rain of Rathnir
We slumber still, and the storms fade

The First Great Rain of Rathnir occured on November 6th, and continued into the next day, lasting a total of fourteen hours. It was marked by a stunning explosion in skeleton horse sightings, and the resurgence of Noxism, a religion based around sleep.

After weeks of the falling rains, members throughout the Silver Coalition called upon the world to sleep, believing it would cause the Great Rains to cease. While originally there was some opposition and doubt, soon the entire world joined in their beds to wait out the storm and appease the skies above. All, that is, except ThatOneGuyMatt, whose unresponsiveness led many nations around the world to hunt for him, but to no avail.

One by one, everyone left their beds, waiting for the day ThatOneGuyMatt either perished or responded to the correspondences sent out. While there was a brief lull in the rains during this time, they begin again as soon as the sun rose, heralding in a false dawn.

Once ThatOneGuyMatt did indeed vanish, the entire world in rapid succession entered their beds yet again. United in sleep, the storms passed.
