Looking for a good title for an apocalypse

[Crow_Nightfeath]

So, I've been trying to think of a good name for the equivalent of the apocalypse or Ragnarok for my world. The world has a war between the light which is the 12 Gods and the sun, and the darkness which is the 13 Apostles of Darkness. There's 3 major god level events, the first being a war that ends in a stalemate, which begins the time of equilibrium. The second war the gods beat the Apostles, and with no more threat, they step back, beginning the godless age. The third sees the return of the Apostles where they ultimately win and extinguish all light in the world.

Now it should be said the Apostles' goal is not the eradication of life or destruction of the world, just to return it to the darkness.

The world was originally dark, but it was a very primordial world, nothing was constant. A being created the first light, which stopped the constant changes in the area of the light. Eventually the being became the sun and created the Gods, the darkness created the Apostles.

What I'm looking for is a term or name for the end of the light in the world.

The Eternal Eclipse
The Darkening
The Shadow
The Gloom
The Dying of the Light

[thethird]

The night of the thousand suns. It is my setting's apocalyptic event, an atomic war between the gods. After it only one sun remains trying to keep the darkness at bay.

[GaelofDarkness]

Ragnarok itself - or rather a variant ragnarokkr - means twilight of the gods. Maybe call it something like that, or the Final Dusk, or the Gloaming.

Taking from the Greek telos which means end/goal/purpose and scoto meaning dark you could call it something like scototelos or scotelos.

Mangling some Irish could give you Thoosdaondun or Brehadaondun meaning start/birth of the dark world. Or maybe Arduscaw, meaning rise of the shadow.

The Asphyxiation.

The End.

Entropy.

Just a few ideas off the top of my head!

I think the phrase "End of Days" fits particularly well in this situation

[Nifft]

The Sundering (in the time before there was the Sun, now there is only the Sunder).

The Fall (like how night falls, but also how paladins fall).

The Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul.

[redwizard007]

The Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul.

You monster!



The darkness.
Evernight.
Last light.

[lylsyly]

How about simply "Nightfall"

[thorr-kan]

Michael Bay? I mean, his locations look pretty apocalyptic when he's done with them...

Joking aside, End of Times is good. Alternatively, pick a name you like, go to google.translate, get the Finnish pronunciation, and run with it.

Finnish looks and sounds different enough from English that it's automatically cool. Plus, extreme metal connotations give the end of the world vibe.

Closing time (there's one last chance for alcohol)

Sunset

[jqavins]

Death of Light, Light Death, or End of Light. Each translated into some exotic RL languages would give you lots of possibilities from which to pick something that sounds right to you.

If you have a native language (for your world, that is), either original, cribbed from some other fiction, or an RL language ripped off, use that.

• Thánatos tou Fotós
• Fos Thánatos
• Télos tou fotós
• Lysets død
• Lysdød
• Slutningen af ​​lyset
• Argiaren heriotza
• Argiaren amaiera
• Luysi verjy
• Luysi mahy
• almawt alkhafif
• mut alnuwr
• nihayat alnuwr
• Lux finis
• Mors autem lux
• Mors lux
• Ukufa Kokukhanya
• Ukuphela kokuKhanya
• Mwisho wa Mwanga
• Kifo cha Mwanga
• Mwanga Kifo

I could go on. All of these are from Google Translate, so I can't vouch for the quality of translation.

Also, any of these can be slurred together or altered as suits.

I like Lysdød.

EDIT: Add "Dark Victory", "Victory of Darkness", "Rise of Darkness", etc to the list of translatables. I won't make the list above even longer, but the same language that gave Lysdød gives

• Stigning af mørket
• Mørkets sejr
• Mørk sejr

[Ninjadeadbeard]

The Dawn of Night.

[nineGardens]

"After time"

"The Endyears"

"Epilouge"


"The time between dawns" (possibly the name given by the more hopeful/devout persons)


"Starlit century" (if there are stars).

"The age of the moon"

"Neverlight"

"Return to the time before"

[winteranfang]

The Gehenna or The Reckoning Day

More originally 'The Gathering of All'. The 'all' is everything in the universe that will integrate into one thing (maybe monotheistic One God) (In the Ancient Egyptian mythology, the name of monotheistic deity is Aten, perhaps this also helps). This is based on Hegelian philosophy.

[Bohandas]

"The End of Days"

[TheYell]

The Dawn of Night.

I like this one.
