Lulilummu
It's the last year of the Mythril age, the sky was split open by an explosion at the sun that shook the earth with the intensity of ten thousand drums. The sky looked as if it were physically split, leaving one side of the sky permanently the color of the dawning sun and the other the color of an ocean at dusk held apart by a blinding light that stretched across the sky all the way down to the horizon. The land was soon ravaged by war, a war not of their own construction, but one of the gods. This event, later deemed as The Fall, marked the beginning of what people now call the Aegirine Age.
Not long after The Fall, the world fell silent again as if it had not happened at all, yet like midnight storm, the peace only lasted long enough for the horror that followed to feel ever so magnified. Monsters, creatures, or demons, whatever you want to call them rose from the earth, seemingly from nowhere. They attacked cities in hordes, in a manner that was almost strategic. The most unfathomable horror was that when men gave into their despair, they would also be turned into those abominations.
One day, these creatures descended from the sky, dubbing themselves as angels and proclaiming their protection over us. Many cities soon saw their streets populated with these angels. They boasted white gilded armour and probably most prominently, a pair of white feathered wings. That was when the slaughter ended, but where the war began.
