  • Essay / Cold Moon/Long Night Moon - 1032

    Corvo walked the streets of Dunwall, which was a happier place now that the plague was gone and the Lord Regent no longer had power. Corvo was looking for a man named Teague. He hoped it would be worth it, since he was in the middle of teaching the Empress how to defend herself before he was interrupted. Everything about meeting this man felt wrong, and even though he tried to distract himself with happier thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a pang of dread. Corvo let the feeling subside and continued walking since the letter sent to him bore the marks of one of the cities' governors. After finding the man who had asked, which was extremely easy since his chic and luxurious clothes stood out against the bland crowd, Corvo and the man exchanged greetings. The man told him that no one would be killed and that he just wanted to observe.

NOW, ยป Corvo understood and followed the Empress.---To buy time...---Even with her lack of training, the Empress had managed to neutralize Burrows and the two fought the guards. They sent Burrows back to prison, but he escaped again and has not yet been recaptured. After this incident, which would be called the Long Night Incident, Corvo would become terminally ill a few weeks later. When Corvo died, the entire town fell into grief, but as with all deaths, they were able to get back up and return to normal life. And to remember Corvo, they named the day of his death the long cold night. The moon of that night has since been called the Long Night Moon...
