- Moonlit of the Flooding Dusk
Where there is light, there must be dark, and where descended Resplendence-of-Dawn from the Glory, so did Flooding Dusk. Flooding Dusk is creeping night, the Hour of the day drawing to an end and the warm, comforting lights that yet remain, Flooding Dusk is the Hour of mercy from the sun's rays and the Glory's dictates. Flooding Dusk is one of the remaining survivors of the end, a last mercy that is denied it.

Description
History
"Our Hour remains regrettably indisposed, but everything remains in order. We here continue as the representatives of Light's Mercy, acting with the voice and force of our estimable patron. The serenity of night remains."
- Twilit of the Flooding Dusk
The siblings of light and darkness descended from the Glory together, and as the House took its shape, they reigned in its apex together as some of the first gods. It was they which spanned an abyssal and refulgent night and watched the Mansus change to the tune of new gods and new orders, ever above it all.
And then came the War, the murder of its sibling.
In the aftermath of the defeat of the present regime of the Mansus, as Via sealed the Gate Without, Flooding Dusk retreated further and further into the salvaged remains of its domain and not participating in the tumultuous debates and acrimony that followed the terrible defeat, ignoring even its closest servants. This slowly began to worry its few remaining Names, who began to look into what so preoccupied their master, and they began investigating the deepest darkness of its sanctums. It was Extinguishment-of-Dawn which first uncovered what Flooding-Dusk intended - its own destruction. News spread quickly and secretly through the ranks, and action was taken.
Rumours, of course, of a coup are hearsay and balderdash, as is the slander that Via and the other remaining Hours Before were involved. There is no such thing as the Eventide Camarilla playing its Hour as a puppet. There is nothing wrong here. The serenity of night remains, and though matters may not improve, may it continue to remain.
Appearance
Flooding-Dusk appeared in the Mansus as a towering, liquid titan of inky black material, through which ran streaks of beautiful twilight colours - sunset and crimson, indigo and violet. Flooding-Dusk has not been seen since the end of the War.
Principles
Flooding Dusk is Lantern, for it is yet a child of the Glory above, but it is also Heart, for it is mercy and protection and sanctuary and succor, that which will not allow to end from ruthlesness.
Worship
Cult
Once the Church of the Morn's End revered the Flooding Dusk in the Wake. With the rest of the cults to the Hours Before, it was suppressed after the War

Candlelit
Candlelit of Flooding Dusk is mercy for what should not be known. Appearing as a cowled, shrouded form bearing a candle, Candlelit of the Flooding Dusk brings the light that illuminates long-ago parchment destroyed or sealed and gleans secrets erased or suppressed. An invocation of Candlelit and the light of their flickering flame reveals the secrets of the foe.
Extinguishment-of-Dawn
And when the presence of the sun falls at last and the creeping twilit world comes, such is the doing of the Extinguishment-of-Dawn. This emanation of Flooding Dusk is its wake, the inevitable falling of light and the decay of the sun that shall not be denied. All things end, even the sun's rays.
Twilit
Twilit of Flooding Dusk is mercy for places and occasions that should not be.
Night-of-Terrors
By twilight, as the last of the sun fades, so does the last of sight. As the night finally creeps in and the pitchest dark drinks greedily of the world, one may step in. One may not necessarily step out again, for where you see nothing there may lurk teeth and knives and fangs and claws and death. In the wake of Flooding-Dusk, comes a Night-of-Terrors, and comes waxing murder in all its forms, unseen forms not for their invisibility, but for in the night, there may lie legions and you may yet see nothing.
