The Eternal Night is an event feared by the citizens of Innistrad: a night that may never end.[1][2] It is an unnatural darkness with a weird magical hoarfrost covering the world, and causing strange reflections in the sky.[3][4]

When Emrakul entered the Innistrad Moon, the day/night balance of Innistrad was totally disturbed. With the sun rising later and setting sooner each day, and the days getting colder, the werewolves went mad and tried to take control of the plane. Crops started dwindling, the chill was bad for them, and they weren't getting enough light either.

The citizens turned to the hope of the Harvesttide festival and a ritual with warlocks at the Celestus to restore the balance. After a battle with werewolves the witches tried to finish the ritual, but Olivia Voldaren suddenly appeared, interrupting the ritual and taking the Moonsilver Key with her.[5][6] This leaves the ritual unfinished, and the Eternal Night a fact.

During the Eternal Night, the Moon of Innistrad was kept in place by ancient magic.[7]
