My expectations were low when I sent out the messengers. I knew that the other empires didn't look at me favorably, and they'd be likely to claim my claims of an incoming darkness were delusions.
But I was still surprised by the only messenger returning alive bearing a declaration of war.
As I fought off my neighbour, I tried to prepare as best I could.
Then, a few short days after winning the war, the darkness fell on my lands.
And only my lands, as I had misunderstood just how unfavourably we were viewed, to have them summon such darkness.
