Avaahn Casper, Balasar Blackwater, Jinx, and Tarik Gamathanki all competed doing the same job, but soon figured out the whole job was a set up by Virelios Castellan, an aspiring criminal mastermind, to hire a criminal crew. The Black Dawn Campaign begins.
The Misfits of Valland, in a series of escalating crimes stemming from a traffic infraction, are eventually arrested at the hands of the Vallandian police force. They are arrested in the morning and incarcerated later that night.
The first and only prison breaks in Black Mountain Maximum Security Prison history occur due to the Misfits. The nine escapees were Avaahn Casper, Balasar Blackwater, Isabella Cromoni, Jinx, Malia Deceit, Milo Vale, Tarik Gamathanki, Thyreos Xaltakarr, and Virelios Castellan.
The Misfits of Valland meet their most formidable ally in the form of the elite mercenary group known as the Slicers. The group is handily defeated in battle, being transported to a maximum security Protectors cell block, save for Avaahn Casper. The biggest players in the criminal underworld have been taken out.
Jinx shuts down Castellan Enterprises' Valland City grid, also shutting down the city's main power grid, igniting a chain reaction in which the entirety of Valland loses power. In the following minutes, monsters of an unnatural middle ground between demons and flame elementals begin to form along power lines, ravaging the city with violence and flame. In a country-wide battle, Valland was finally able to restore power and vanquish the monsters after 32 minutes. There were a reported 1,871 casualties, and over 7,000 were injured. The incident cost the Vallandian government over 500 billion gold pieces in damage.
The Black Dawn goes on a streak of killings related to their criminal history, namely the Slicers. CDA-2 is eliminated by Jinx on Silvamber 12th, along with Virelios Castellan, Malia Deceit, and Milo Vale. Valtar Illistyn is eliminated by Daedalus on Silvamber 15th. Arkaeus Boulderstrike is eliminated by Tarik Gamathanki on Silvamber 25th. Alathar Casper is eliminated on Lliirum 7th.
