The Black Nights

The black nights are times of fear and dread in the minds of many for the horrors they are told to bring, but there are also those who would use the cover of darkness to go about business better done unseen. There are those who incorrectly call every night with no moon a 'black night', in a true black night not even the stars shine so that there is no natural light to see by at all; even the light of lanterns and torches seems to pail against the depths of the darkness.
