First Omens

Celestial / Cosmic

Mages report strange anomalies — stars vanishing, sickened lands, spells misfiring. First cults of the Gloamseekers quietly arise.   Stars vanish. Animals behave strangely. Mages report arcane disruptions. The earliest Gloamseekers form.

Across the world, the skies dim. Stars begin to vanish, not from cloud or season, but as if snuffed from the cosmos entirely. Arcane scholars, druids, and high priests all report irregularities — spells misfire, scrying shows only static, and sacred sites grow cold and silent.   In wilderness regions, animals behave erratically — flocks flying in reverse patterns, predators fleeing their own shadows. Insects vanish. Soil sours. Entire groves die overnight.   These phenomena are dismissed by ruling powers as isolated, coincidental. But in the shadows of academia and rural faith, the first Gloamseekers begin to gather — mystics and madmen murmuring of an ancient hunger returning.   Arcane Misfires - Conjuration circles collapse mid-casting. Elemental spells weaken. Divination yields blank slates.   Celestial Signs - Stars fade from the northern sky in visible constellations — astrologers panic but find no pattern.   Natural Instability - Forests become eerily quiet. Crops wilt near certain stones and rivers.   Birth of a Cult - The first Gloamseekers form in secrecy, believing these signs mark the return of a cosmic entropy.
  What was once thought to be superstition is now understood as the first proof of the Darkness’s subtle return. Surviving Gloamseeker texts from this time now serve as prophetic warnings, although many remain sealed or lost.
