| <blockquote>''"Society's law is unjust because natural law is Unjust. Tyranny begins at the top. Not from the factory-owner; not even from the palace of a queen. But in [[The High Wilderness|the arch of heaven]] itself. Those who join us should be prepared to defy the suns. And prepared to win, for our grievances are immeasurable."''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Opening_a_Christmas_Card|Opening a Christmas Card|Sunless Skies}}</ref></blockquote>

| <blockquote>''"With the aid of the Calendar Council, you begin to establish a new kind of society, a ripe and feverish vitality like corpse-fungus. Over time, the survivors adapt. [...] The principles you’ve developed here will function on a much larger scale. The Sun itself is not beyond your reach. The stars. [[Judgements|The Judgements]] that rule the universe, that seemed eternal: you will end them."''<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/No-one._This_is_what_you%27ve_been_working_towards.|No-one.

| '''The Liberation of Night''' is an anarchist plot to blow up the [[The Echo Bazaar|Bazaar]] and extinguish every light in the [[Neath]]. And this would only be a test run, because its supporters aim to extinguish all the light in the ''universe''. Thus, the Liberation is one from the [[Judgements|sources of said light]] and their tyranny.
| |
| | |
| The method through which this Liberation will be achieved is not entirely known. However, numerous '''Unclear Bombs''' are scattered across the [[The Unterzee|zee]] floor, and anarchists spend much of their resources trying to research unclear devices.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.gamepedia.com/Unexploded_Unclear_Bomb|Unexploded Unclear Bomb|Sunless Sea}}</ref> These behave similarly to nuclear bombs in our world, but instead of a blinding flash, they release blinding darkness.

| <blockquote>''"February hands you each a glass of your Aunt's brandy. "London did approach us about building an Unclear Bomb. We had an enemy in common: the Masters of old London. The Calendar Council helped make them an Unclear Bomb. We used it to blow up the sun."''</blockquote><blockquote>''"She shrugs. "But that's ancient history. Not sure why you bothered me with all this. Still, shall we raise a toast? To old acquaintances never forgot.""''<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Learning_about_an_Inconvenient_Aunt#February|Learning about an Inconvenient Aunt|Sunless Skies}}</ref></blockquote>It's been a decade since [[London]] escaped and the zailors zailed away, and the Great Work has begun. [[The Traitor Empress]], using her Unclear Bomb, managed to murder a star located far from Earth, [[the King of Hours]]. Its realm, what would soon become [[Albion]], was then colonized and subjugated after Her Renewed Majesty led an exodus to through the [[Avid Horizon]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/A_Coggy_Conversation|A Coggy Conversation|Sunless Skies}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Approaching_the_Avid_Horizon|Approaching the Avid Horizon|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

| ...Well, not really. Albion's sun was poisoned to death by [[The Sapphir'd King|another force]]. The bomb, which never actually had to be used, still exists and is now housed in [[the Most Serene Mausoleum]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Veteran_Privy_Counsellor.27s_Tomb|The Veteran Privy Counsellor's Tomb|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Meanwhile, Albion's Judgement was replaced by the [[Clockwork Sun]], solidifying the victory of the [[New Sequence]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Most_Serene_Mausoleum#The_Nave_2|Contemplate the dead sun|Sunless Skies}}</ref>

| Meanwhile in [[Eleutheria]], [[the Halved]] is at the forefront of the Liberation, radiating anti-light and making its realm as dark and chaotic as possible. It is responsible for the death of the Garden-King, causing [[the Reach]] to become overgrown and chaotic.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Bones_of_the_Sun|Strive to hear the death-cry of a fallen sun|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Meanwhile, the Calendar Council has taken up residence in [[Pan]], with December and January as their ringleaders.<ref name="winter's reside">{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Winter%27s_Reside|Winter's Reside|Sunless Skies}}</ref> Crazed skyfarers known as '''Dousers '''have sworn to extinguish every light in Eleutheria, especially the electric bulbs of [[Eagle's Empyrean]].<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/Douser|Douser|Sunless Skies}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|https://sunlessskies.gamepedia.com/The_Bespectacled_Official|The Bespectacled Official|Sunless Skies}}</ref>
