The Moonfall event:
The Moonfall is a rare celestial event that occurs once every 200 years during the Dusk Calamity on the world of Crucible. It is a phenomenon where the moon, instead of rising in the night sky as usual, appears to plummet towards the earth, casting the world into chaos and unleashing powerful magical energies.
Legend has it that the Moonfall is tied to an ancient curse placed upon the world during a time of great strife. According to the old tales, the moon was once a source of divine guidance and protection, but it was corrupted by dark forces seeking to plunge the world into eternal night. As a result, the Moonfall became a harbinger of doom, heralding the onset of cataclysmic events known as the Dusk Calamity.
During the Moonfall, the skies darken, and eerie whispers fill the air as the moon descends towards the earth. Strange phenomena occur, such as sudden changes in weather, wild magic surges, and the emergence of otherworldly creatures drawn by the moon's malevolent influence. The Moonfall's duration is unpredictable, lasting anywhere from a few hours to several days, during which chaos reigns supreme.
