There was once a sun that graced the world with its light, it eventually faded and the world fell into darkness.

Many in Langstay had their speculations as to why the sun stopped shining its light upon the land.

Most of the Cyclopes believed that it had just burnt through all of its wood, or the sky equivalent of wood, anyways.

A popular theory among many of the races was that the sun was actually a mighty sky being that grew tired or died.

The Humans believed that an Ancient race had used magic to create the sun and that it was only a matter of time before said magic dissipated.

At first, many did not notice that the light coming from the sun was becoming less and less every day it breached the horizon.

After half a month's time, it was extremely noticeable that the sun was disappearing.

Being the only race able to conjure magic, the humans built a large tower in the middle of Langnstay so that they could attempt to do what the Ancient race was rumored to have done.

After a month's time, the sun had completely disappeared.

Langstay was covered in darkness, save for the light created by torches and fire, for several weeks as the Humans built the tower as quickly as they could.

After the tower had been built, eight mages who the people of Langstay later named "The Fire Men" ascended the tower and attempted to conjure a mighty ball of fire in the sky over Langstay.

They were not fond of this name.

It took a few days for the mages to get the hang of how big to make their sun, how high to raise it and to keep it held in place.

A new problem began to raise after a few days.

Several letters had been written and addressed to the tower and to the Human empire stating that there had now been hundreds of accounts of severe, unexplained burns and water levels of lakes lowering and numerous ponds completely evaporating.

Unexpected wildfires starting across Langstay were reported as well.

The Fire Men were informed.

After they discussed their options, a conclusion was made.

Five more mages were brought up the tower.

The new sun ascended into the sky once again, following it was a thick blanket of clouds between the sun and Langstay.

The clouds managed to protect the land from most of the heat while still letting some of the light through.

These five mages were dubbed "The Cloud Boys".

They were not fond of this name either.

Everything seemed to be alright for several more days, the inhabitants of Langstay were happy to have their light.

Another problem came to light in the form of letters once again.

While everyone was happy to have light without fear of fires or getting burnt, the farmers of the land were saddened because there had been no rain for some time and their crops had begun to die.

The Fire Men and The Cloud Boys met up an hour before the rising of the sun to discuss what they could do about this.

Once again, they came to a conclusion.

Letters were sent to three more mages.

A few days later, shortly before the rising of the sun, three sorceresses showed up at the tower.

The plan was discussed with them that these three would come to the tower for about a week out of each month to conjure water to rain down on Langstay during the days so that crops may begin to thrive.

These mages were named "The Rain Men" until an Orc was gutted in a tavern after referring to one of the women as such, they are now called "The Storm Sorceresses".

Everyone was happy once again.

Until after the second rainfall where letters arrived once more.

Everyone began complaining that there was a mud epidemic and all the crops couldn't grow because the fields were too muddy and damp.

Again, The Fire Men, The Cloud Boys and The Storm Sorceresses gathered to discuss what they could do this time.

It was decided that after the week of rain there would be a day where The Cloud Boys weren't needed.

The bare sun would hopefully dry Langstay and solve the mud problem.

The people were finally happy.

Except for The Cloud Boys and The Fire Men, but at least The Cloud Boys got one day a month off work.
