The way I heard it... long, long ago, the goddess Nyx granted night and death to the world. At some point there was a prophecy, I guess? That when the collective suffering and despair of humanity became too much to bear, the death drive would start to bring Nyx's children, the Shadows, into the world. To make Nyx's return go more smoothly. To bring the Fall.
So--okay, did you ever hear about that huge lab explosion in Iwatodai back in '99? Hundreds of researchers, plenty of damage to nearby parts of the city...?
