The Night Breakers
The dark has nowhere to hide. Not even in your
hearts will the weight of shadow be safe from us.

HEY THANKS FOR READING!
I’m a terrible Hindu but the one tradition I absolutely observe is Diwali. I mean
sure it’s got candy, fire, treats, fireworks, sweets, beautiful lights, an overload of
sugary goodness, and more but what it’s about is that triumph over seemingly
insurmountable and endless evil that we all hope for whether in the pages of the
book or in the real. How could I not want to make that into a subclass?
The actual origin of Diwali where I got my inspiration from (Including the reason it
is what it is and not a paladin or cleric) is the Hindu myth known as the Ramayan.
The tale is the Hindu equivalent of Britain’s King Arthur, China’s Journey to the
West or Japan’s Momtaro. I absolutely reccomend it! Hit me up on Twitter
(@AY2EL) if you’d like reccomendations of my favourite versions.
(There’s another popular version about the Goddess of Luck and Wealth creating
Diwali but as that one doesn’t involve valiant princes, demon kings or flying
monkeys, I don’t give it a lot of attention)
We wish you a happy Diwali and a prosperous year ahead full of love, light, luck,
and all the heroism you hope for. (Also candy! Always candy)
