A Dawning Night

Ancient lores speak of a celestial creature so terrifying, that whenever it breathed the tempest will howl in agony. Its steps made the seven realms tremble, and its roars could make the heavens fall.

The Abyssal Calamity.

One of the primordial immortal beasts, also known as the calamities, this creature had incarnated as a monstrous nine-tailed fox. The first eleven gods battled the demonic beast for eight days and eight nights before they could eventually perish its physical form.

All that remained after that was a wounded soul, shattered into a million pieces. The First Gods gathered the remnants and sealed them inside the darkest depths of the Abyss. 

The City of Akamori was constructed over the remains of the Nine-Tailed Fox, acting as a tomb as well as a prison for the fearsome calamity.

Aesther exhaled deeply.
