DAY OF RECKONING [7S2otG AU]

I

It begins.

The sky has dimmed. The clouds have blackened and vanished, and I curse the gods of light and darkness who let us stay to see.

Shapes are becoming ill by the hour. The captains of the Sky and Seawatcher's Brigade have both been found dead on the coast of Vermil Beach. The sages have gone rogue.

The cries of their domains echo across the land as the ties are broken, leaving them to deteriorate. The Androalphus Woods are slowly turning to ash. The La'Mare Abyss is freezing over. The peak of Vulcan's Rise is rumbling and will soon be erupting, not a doubt in the ending world about that. The citizens of the Sage's Domain's neighboring civilizations have evacuated to central Paradise. For naught, I say. The end is upon us. Why prolong it? Because we are afraid. I am afraid. Buildings are burning, and violence is surging in the streets. Without the Sages, the world descends into chaos.

We are doomed.
