The mentally unstable in town are claiming that a great disaster is forthcoming. Some of these reports involve references to “darkness” or “day becoming night” or “night everlasting”.
Then, one day the sunrise simply doesn’t come. No one can provide an explanation. The common threads amidst the inevitable chaos are the sightings of a menacing figure in black tattered robes, the presence of a variety of strange creatures attacking people in most despicable ways, and their general avoidance of children.
The figure in black robes calls himself Oov.
Possibilities
1 The “strange creatures” attacking people are in fact, the Dark Fae (evil faeries). Oov is their leader, a particularly powerful and wicked Dark Faerie who brought them here to change the local balance between good and evil. They avoid children because of their “innocence”, which causes them excruciating pain. Night goes on until they are stopped and they can only be stopped by a certain spell that exists in the recent dreams of the local children.
2 Oov and the strange creatures are fugitives from the Dreamlands who are trying to break into the waking world. Victims in the dream don’t wake up in the waking world and so become hosts for the fugitives to “wake up in”. They can only be stopped by realizing the dream state and waking up the entire town.
3 There was an eclipse and much like full moon “lunatics” Oov and these monsters are nothing more than crazy people gone wild.
