All is Engulfed in Chaos under the Black Sun

"Some say the opening of Hadum's Realm has long been foretold and we should not be afraid. They say an omen will soon appear, signaling the time when light and darkness join together as one.
Although most dismissed these people as deluded lunatics, change eventually came in the land said to be blessed by the sun god himself.
The Black Sun eclipsed all of Valencia with a piercing darkness, impenetrable by moonlight and sunlight alike."
