-The {{nihongo|''' Ten Nights of Tragedy'''|十夜の悲劇|Jūya no higeki}} was a tragic event that took place over the course of ten nights in 868 AD. Due to a severe food shortage, [[the Cathedral City]] was unable to accept any more refugees. In order to restrict the influx of refugees, the [[Chaldean Gate]] was built over the course of three nights. Subsequently, a battle ensued between the refugees and the City Self-Defense Forces, which lasted for a further seven nights.{{Bookref|WorldInside}}{{Bookref|WorldInside|Page 244: Chronology}}
