Nighlight

"'When the light of day is gone, I shall devour the world.' - Zu'Ulsan the first nighlight""'They are beings of the coming darkness with no trace of humanity left inside their massive plates. Black knights who extinguish both the light of the world, and the light of one's soul.' - Rickton Lawth"A nighlight, also known as a dark knight, is a creature sculpted out of fog and shadows from ZuNorulsan, also known in Torian tongue as the Land of Darkness. They are not only composed of literal darkness, but also the darkness inside the minds and bodies of those who were present during their creation. Therefore, they are typically born when genocides or a mass plague falls upon a large, happy, land. They continue to grow in power as those who have dark intentions, or fear in their hearts, enter their domain of darkness.

No one to date knows the secrets needed to kill a nighlight, if there are any. Not even the great Lord Maven of Whitefane has any leads on their destruction. Thankfully, they are near to almost a myth, only appearing to harbinger and accelerate a world into fear and death. Even The Great Crysillian War did not produce enough internal darkness to give birth to a nighlight.

During the genocide of the Amnbheric people, the first recorded nighlight was born. He was said to have killed off all remaining Amnbherones, and drive the rest into a twisted madness, earning him the public name of Zu'Ulsan, meaning The Darkness. Today, his myth is what most people believe to be the cause of the feral and decrepit creatures that live below Morbian.
