The Wex Point Gloom-████ers was a transient civil defence collective formed in late November 2061 by former reconnaissance scouts stationed at Wex Haven. Emerging immediately following the cessation of hostilities in the Skarnes Border War, the group coalesced to distinguish their specific ritual of nocturnal coastal patrol from other post-war units. Their stated objective was not military observation but penance: traversing the heavily scarred coastlines of the northern Rendorlin sector during twilight and sunset hours. Participants deliberately avoided all artificial light sources as a form of atonement for lands burned by artillery fire during the conflict, drawing initial membership from veterans who had witnessed the destruction of Wex ███bour and the surrounding agricultural zones. Members wore darkened visors and carried only non-reflective gear to adhere to their strict code of shadow-travel.^[1]

By early December 2062, the Gloom-████ers' activities had expanded beyond the immediate Wex Haven perimeter into restricted zones near ███████████, a port city on the eastern flank of the █lmarkan Protectorates. On 15 December 2062, local authorities arrested the movement's de facto leader, Nwamba, for trespassing on a security-cleared zone adjacent to the harbour docks. The arrest occurred during an unauthorized vigil where participants were observed moving through low-light conditions without official permits.^[2] Police records classify the subsequent gathering of sympathisers as 'unauthorized vigils' rather than political protests, citing violations of public order statutes regarding restricted airspace and lighting ordinances. Nwamba was held in custody pending charges related to breach of security protocols. Following Nwamba's arrest on 15 December 2062, the organisational structure of The Wex Point Gloom-████ers fractured immediately. Without a central command figure to coordinate their movements or negotiate with local authorities, the remaining members dispersed across the coastal settlements of Wex Haven and neighbouring Ash Falls. The local police department in ███████████ issued a directive on 18 December categorising all future vigils conducted by former members as public nuisances rather than acts of dissent, effectively criminalising the movement's primary ritual.^[3] By late December 2062, the group ceased to exist as a formal entity, with its history preserved primarily through fragmented oral accounts and restricted police reports concerning the Skarnes Border War aftermath. Despite their rapid dissolution, former members of The Wex Point Gloom-████ers remain a subject of discussion within the veteran communities of Wex Haven. Some participants claim that their rituals continued informally among small, unregistered groups who met only during foggy weather when visibility was naturally low. The movement's legacy is complex; while official records dismiss them as deluded veterans seeking attention, many former scouts maintain that their actions were a necessary moral response to the destruction witnessed during the Skarnes Border War. No memorials or official recognitions have been established for the group by 2062, and their story remains largely confined to local folklore and restricted archives held by the ███████████ municipal council.^[4]
