| Location | Deaths Kindle, Bal-Kriav |
| Period | periodic |
The moon Deaths Kindle evokes two necromantic phenomena with its celestial appearance over Bal-Kriav. The more frequent of these occurrences is a period known as the Shade of Darkness. Once per decade, the moon Deaths Kindle emanates a potent aura for 150 days. For the denizens of Bal-Kriav, this is a time of profound darkness and malevolence, with necromancy and undead activity reaching their apex. Necromantic spells grow more powerful (DC bonus +4), and the creation of undead functions at four levels greater than normal, while all undead possess a turning resistance of +2.
