Lore

"The Darkness Is Coming!" became a popular cry for help, with whoever is still alive to experience this supernatural event.
Parts of the world started experiencing periods of total darkness.
Black clouds would cover the skies.
Clouds thick enough that they block completely block out the sun!
The air would turn foul.
An unexplained, and sometimes hazardous, thick fog would also set in.
Scientists started recommending the use of gas masks to stop this anomalous atmospheric matter from invading human bodies.
But unfortunately they couldn’t find any scientific reasoning behind these events, leading everyone to believe that this event is of a supernatural nature.
They did come up with a warning system that could detect traces of this anomalous matter.
Authorities set up a number of sensor and sirens to warn everyone about this hazardous phenomenon.
A year later, the Knox Event happened. These are truly the end times.
Access to the Automated Emergency Broadcast System became essential to survival.
