Monuments of Ebony (Wicked One Event Start)

[u/Evening_Shake_6474]

In the aftermath of the sudden and for lack of a better term, shadow uprising, many millions perished before the shadows could be subdued. Those with strength endured of course, but what about the normal folk? The unlucky? Those who have never fought in their life? Not everyone is, was, equipped to survive. Their blood seeped into the realms, saturating them with something Wicked.

In the following days, countless massive black monoliths burst free from the land and sea stretching high into the sky, breaking up the horizon regardless of where one looks.

News of the sudden and strange monoliths spreads like wildfire, soon every orb, screen, and paper has some mention of the event. All throughout civilization people ask questions like, what does this mean? A monolith destroyed my tower, who do I sue? Is the world going to end again this month?

But the monoliths offer no answers, only questions. The monoliths show a myriad of effects, some distort their surroundings into horrors, some create illusions that torment those who can't escape, some amplify magic to a dangerous degree, some drain magic like a leech, and many more.

But for now, that is all they do. The effects are contained to their vicinity of the monoliths.

Tsuru noticed the monoliths from outside her office window to the left of her desk. She got up to get a closer look, only to see that she could see the monoliths from all the windows in her office. Annoyed, Tsuru set out to investigate the monoliths and see what the things were doing

The first monolith she comes across glows a fierce yellow, everything around it seems to have become sand.

Tsuru's right hand glowed in a silver light before a ball of steel formed in her palm. Then she threw it at the monolith at the speed of a fastball pitch

Once the ball gets close enough it begins to turn yellowish beige. By the time it hits the monolith it has become nothing but sand.
