- 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. They watched as Via spanned an endless citadel without walls or roads, they lasted as their Nemesis came and rose to exalt humanity and bring it to glory. Above it all, they were there, the first among the Hours and the foremost children of the Glory
And then came the War, the murder of its sibling.
===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. Despite its inky void, its self and form is lit by a pale, strange moonlight, which it casts in its surroundings, usually merciful, sometimes burning. Flooding-Dusk has not been seen since the end of the War. As its sibling, Flooding Dusk held a secret cruelty. Unlike its sibling, Flooding Dusk occasionally indulged it. For in the night, comes also the swallowing dark and things that make one be never seen again. Sometimes, it takes a form with more knifes and claws and hooks.
===Principles===
===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. Its operation is rumored to continue in secret in many cities, where reprieves or salvation is needed. Its operation is rumored to operate openly in certain cities loyal to the radical sections of the Society of 2053.
===Mark===
====Deepest Black====
The new sanctum of Flooding Duskbears no resemblance to its old kingdom. No light illuminates this land of shadows, for in remembrance of the sibling it lost, the Dusk would not replace its radiance. Those who could see anyway do not speak of what they do see. In the night comes peace and succor, and with it as well, all the things that yet go bump and creak, the crueller children of the Night.
===The Histories===
====The Land of Forever Night====
The northernmost and southernmost parts of the world have been consumed by midnight. It is the realm of the Flooding-Dusk, yet it is a demesne it does not frequent or take care of. In that dark, then, terrible, monstrous creatures hide in this land of forever night, in this land of certain death.
====Aurora Universalis====
Once, there was a brilliant array of dancing lights, following the pilgrimage of the sun. In the northern places, in the Land of Forever Night, there is a mercy writ in the heavens. A last promise by an Eventide Council that, of course, does not exist - that they will yet return, and the world will again be kind and merciful. And in that mercy, it is said, is an ocean of secrets and power.
