Ten Tragic Nights

PLEASE NOTE: The name of this article is a fan translation, as it was never officially localised from the original Japanese.

Ten Tragic Nights (Japanese: 十夜の悲劇, Hepburn: Jūya no higeki) is the name given to the 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.
