During the time that our saints leave the realm to dine amongst the Twelve, it is said that creatures of darkness come out from hiding to wreak havoc upon mortalkind. Fearing for their safety, folk of the past took to returning home before sunset and barricading themselves indoors with kith and kin until dawn arrived to banish the night...
