After the weaver was done with the realm of mortals two guardians were chosen to protect creation from the shadow. Sun would watch from the skies during the day while Moon would do the same at night. With the world finished the weaver was satisfied and left.
   The mortals lived happily and peacefully for centuries. Tribes settled in villages that grew into towns and cities. All was well until one day when the small village Orsin was attacked by beasts from the depths of the forest. None survived the attack but two hunters, the spouses Arvic and Miram. Deeply distraught by the slaughter they had returned home to they cursed the Sun and Moon for not keeping watch and protecting the village. Whilst searching the remains for anything that could be salvaged they started hearing voices and whispers which they followed deeper into the forest, hoping to find other survivors. In the middle of the forest they found a formation of stones that seemed somehow unnatural, and from behind one of the stones a phantom appeared and spoke to them. The phantom had seen what had happened to the village, and promised the couple that it would help them avenge their friends and families if only they stayed by the stones for a couple of weeks and listened to what it had to teach them.
   Arvic and Miram agreed and during the following weeks they listened to what the phantom had to say. They hunted animals for their intestines and bones, and brought everything they found back to the stones so that the phantom could lay them on the ground in a pattern. When their time with the phantom began to come to an end they were taught a ritual that would require all that they ha been taught before and the resources they had collected. They chanted deep within the forest and as their words reached up above the crowns of the trees reality started to change all around them. Before they realised what had happened it was already to late. They had become mere puppets to be used.
   The shadow had found a way past the watchers.
   The shadow had introduced magick to the world.
