Night

Nights are time periods that separate the eras known as Days. night occurs when Shade nightcasters engulf the world in darkness. they are apocalyptic times during which the Shade runs free and great portions of humanity turn into Shade because of the lack of sunlight exposure. there are four historical Night periods in recorded history, the fourth one being the shortest one, lasting only fifteen years.

All Nights have left the world in ruins, being the first one the worst case. most constructions of the First Day were no more than abandoned ruins after the First Night.

Because of the everpresent threat of the oncoming next Night and being attacked by the Shade, many individuals carry swords at all times. it also is not uncommon for households to have a sword for every family member, if not more.
