Night of Levity

An event that took place during the early days of the Empire, little definitive information appears to exist detailing the Night of Levity; it is not entirely clear even whether the name refers literally to a single night. Most sources agree, however, that the Night entailed considerable manipulation of history by Emperor Amora. Minimally, this included the near-total obliteration of records (apparently both physically, and by supernatural means) relating to the First Age and to the work of the Sallow Princes, to the origin of the City Spirits and the true nature of the Primal Spirits.

The modern Inquisition is also believed to have come into existence during the Night of Levity. Those who would risk such speculation generally suggest that the Night was a tool used by Amora to prevent the populace from disputing his version of Primus' history, and the legitimacy of his rule. Conversely, his sympathisers justify the approach in terms of the strength and stability it lent to the young Empire.

The influence of the Night of Levity is clearly focused on the Empire itself, and it is rumoured that the secrets lost to it may still be extant amongst shamans in more distant parts of the Far North.
