A meteorological phenomenon known as the [[Black Rains]] begin.<ref name=SQTheHistoricalOverview>2000/05 [[Stormwaltz Quotes]] - The Historical Overview</ref> It has been said that the Empyreans ignored the celestial fiery visitor seen in the night skies until, one night, it completely disappeared. Soon afterward, roiling black clouds raining ash and soot darkened the skies.
<br /><br />
The Yalaini see the darkness enveloping the world as a sign that the Light has rejected them. Yalaini Elders blame the Dericost for this event.
<br /><br />
With the world cooling, crops wither and die. Although there's abundant food in the storehouses, Yalaini only give the Dericost the barest amount of food to survive.
<br /><br />
Food shortages strike particularly hard at the village of [[Daralet]], located on the fringes of the Yalaini Empire. With his son on the verge of starvation, [[Ilservian Palacost]], a mage of Dericost ancestry, a demands that the Yalaini Elders share their food. They refuse and have the mage and his followers run out of the village. Ilservian's son dies soon thereafter.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol2/><ref name=AgesEmp/>
