Rift Distortions #1
Those who have read the accounts and documentations of Enchanters who had witnessed not only the Rift of 1567, but even the handful who transcribed the behaviors of the erratic Rift during the Holy Roman Empire, it's somewhat common knowledge that these phenomena are erratic at best. Reports of dead fauna and creatures and of great lethargy from surrounding communities were common, leading Enchanters to believe that in order to keep themselves stable, these portals absorbed energy from an encompassing area.
Today the Vancouver Rift has plenty more to draw energy from, which leads to a bit of an issue. It might mean that fewer will be affected. Perhaps it means that it will only affect a fraction of the radius of the previous ones. Or it may be that it impacts the entirety of the city, becoming much larger in scale and power than any Rift prior.
These are questions and hypotheses that the Enchanters of both the Consortium and Alliance are working tirelessly to answer. It doesn't help that Silas Clyde, for his mutual treaty and nearby establishment, has kept mostly silent about this fallout. It could be not even he knows what is possible. But even if that was the case, he hasn't hinted towards that either.
Lights have continued flickering out all over the city since the early morning hours of April the 25th. But now as the sun sets on the city on May 2nd, entire quadrants of power outages are occurring without explanation. As the moon creeps high into the sky and the midnight hour draws to a close, the entire city faces an unprecedented total blackout. And nobody knows how or when it will end.
Both Chowdary and Cobb have issued official statements warning their Enchanters, asking everyone to remain calm. Silas Clyde issues a statement of his own: be wary. Where there is change, there is trouble. For humans can be rabid, frantic beasts when swathed in darkness
