====Origin====
The Children of the Night were created by the Fae goddess Titania millions of years ago as a vague copy of the Children of the Sun; their creation was done at the request of the Fae, specifically to combat Adam el Asem who took a star from another universe and molded it into a crown, angering the Fae. They sailed across the sea and brought Asem back in chains, binding him in a prison.
The Fae hated the Children, as they resembled Asem far too much; as such, they cast them into the darkness under the Fae's tree canopies in what is now South America. In the darkness and isolation, without the ability to dream like the Fae, they turned cruel and began attacking travelers and then Fae themselves.
They kidnapped Caspan the Dreamweaver, letting him keep his life and name in exchange for learning how to dream from Caspan. When he tried to teach him, the King of Night turned Caspan over to the Children of the Night's side, betraying his people by leading his newfound allies to Titania and letting them ask her one wish: to not be alone anymore. Titania then gave them her heart, becoming their goddess instead of the Fae's.Entry Page: 6666
====Overthrown and invasion of Europ====
The Children of the Night eventually overthrew the Fae after their catastrophic war with the Royal House of Apollyon, who summoned the greatest standing army in human history to sack their lands. The surviving Fae were enslaved and tortured endlessly by their creations. After Apollyona was swallowed by YASH, the Profane Dark, the Children of the Night boarded their black ships and crossed the sea to pillage Europ.
They went as far inland as the lands of Daeva, tearing apart Methusaleh's master, the High Magistrate, outside the Magistrate's citadel and taking the occupants hostage. Millions of men were dragged in black chains to the Children of the Night's ships without food or rest, being fed seawater and raw meat on the journey to their lands. When they arrived, the men were tormented by the Children of the Night, killing them relentlessly and haunting them in their nightmares.
====Day of Flowers====
One day, a great sorcerer named Noah from the House of Lament figured that the Children fed off of their prisoners' nightmares, and devised a plan. He drew thaumaturgic symbols on himself and conducted a ritual. Though he was burnt into a smoking husk, flowers bloomed across the planet before endless rain began pouring the next day, continuously pouring until the entire world was underwater; however, high places like the mountain that Methuselah and his allies resided on were unaffected. Almost every Child of the Night drowned, due to their inability to swim, though a few found refuge, such as the hibernating group near the Dread Titania and the peaceful Javert.Entry Page: 6765
====Modernity====
In 1956, an unknown individual affiliated with the Children infiltrated the SCP Foundation and entered a falsified version of the Children of the Night into the SCP database as SCP-1000, being written in Dr. Tilda D. Moose's name despite the fact she wasn't even born by that time.

According to myth, the Children of the Night, known as Basajaun, evolved alongside humans and the Sidhe, known as Menn and Ellyllon respectively, in early North Africa/West Asia. The Sidhe, capable of feeling and using magic, set out north and underwent further evolution thanks to exposure to a dead Behemoth, old beings from the early universe. In time, the Sidhe found the Wanderer's Library and gained significant power, using it to rule most of Eurasia. The Children, who'd come to form a friendly symbiosis with humans, had developed psychic abilities and skills in agriculture, which they used to cooperate with humans, who'd developed tools and skills in building and metallurgy. Seeing their union as a threat, the Sidhe incepted a conflict between the two, which resulted in an all out war.
As the years continued, the Sidhe noticed that even with the war, both the Children and human continued to evolve and grow in physicality and intelligence. Despite the warnings of her witches, the Sidhe queen, Aibell, took the bone of the Behemoth and used it to cut a piece of the Tree that made up the Library. This piece, christened the Sapling, was capable of manipulating all known knowledge and memory on Earth, which the Sidhe planned to stultify the Children and human's intelligence. However, before they could use it, the weapon was stolen by a human leader, Ninmah, who used the weapon to erase the Children's memories and knowledge. This change cause the Children to unlesh a huge psychic force, which cause all the plant life on Earth to undergo rapid growth and fertilisation. This event would come to be known as the Day of Flowers. Following this, the Serpent, the guardian of the Library, placed the blame of the Sidhe and banished them from the Library for all eternity. It then chose to watch over humanity as their teacher and guardian, believing their actions were out of ignorance rather then malice.
Years later, Her/His Majesty's Foundation for the Secure Containment of the Paranormal found the Sapling in the Fertile Crescent during the Sixth Occult War. Following the war's end, Fredrick Williams, then Chamberlain 5 for HMFSCP, used the Sapling, which was later redesignated SCP-8899, to establish The Veil, creating a line between the normal and anomalous world. The moment of its creation, the Children, who'd remained intellectually bounded for millennia, felt the familiar shifts in the world knowledge, briefly feeling like something similar had happened.
