Summary
Legends say that the gods and goddesses of the world once wandered the land, bestowing their blessings upon the many people and villages who gave offerings and made worship to the heavenly beings. The most powerful of the deities was that of the moon; both benevolent and malevolent, he was most beloved and feared of the gods.
But one night, a harrowing storm shook the heavens; and it is said that the moon, which once shown bright in his place in the sky, was stained crimson as if he had been soaked in blood.
Ever since that night, a shadow has passed over the moon. A blackness that brings misfortune to those caught under his sight and evil things of shadow and flame that roam the lands and corruption to the hearts of even the most pious of people.
Slowly belief in the moon deity was shunned and forbidden for threat that it would cease the spreading corruption across the lands, but it was for naught.
Thus, after several generations the benevolence of the celestial being faded from memory to become merely that of a cautionary tale told to children to be wary of darkened nights.
