Del Darken Marung
(The Dark Day)

No longer controlled by the Alicorns after the fall of Portmanteau, the sun and moon are absent from the sky for one night and day.

Lost history

The moon has set, but the sun has not yet risen. It is long past the time of first light. It has grown terribly cold.
Not many days ago was the day of the Red Eye; the moon turned black as the night sky, and eclipsed with the sun, which shone red as blood. Many are wondering if these are omens, a sign that we should not be here. But the decision was made to endure, whatever happens.

History

Most of the original text is completely accurate. However, some of the accuracy might have been lost during modern-day translation.

It is more believable by those who experienced the Half-Day, when the magic of the Crystal Tree was not enough to help protect Equestria, and the sun and moon were both present in the sky.

It was written on a stone tablet by an unknown member of the first village of Equestria. After excavations were made in Rambling Rockridge, traces of a lost village were found, including the tablet.

The author has been lost to time

The events that transpired in the faraway city of Portmanteau.
The Crystal Keepers were convinced by Lorelei, a fellow Crystal Keeper, to leave their homeland and the life they were forced into. When they left, she assumed control over the sun and moon, a task meant to be shared by the keepers.
