A few moments ago outside the Night Lord's Crypt...
The tides of battle quickly turned in favor of the skounae as the allied forces became engulfed in darkness.
The darkness conjured by the Antumbra of Darkness, Night Lord Xenthula devoured all sources of light that dwelled inside the dome's vicinity.
Every time someone attempted to use light magic or talismans that released light, a mysterious force immediately moved to suppress it and smothered it in darkness.
The emergence of this unique darkness empowered the skounae while simultaneously placing an unbelievable amount of pressure on the allied forces.
At the moment, the center forces under the direct command of General Solomon were still holding on. This was mostly due to their timely reaction when the darkness first emerged.
Upon seeing that darkness, Solomon immediately gave the signal for all of the allied forces to tighten their formations.
