The Black Teardrop was a tear of pure black stone cried by the Nothing. It fell in Ningen-do near a Naga city, in the place which would be known as the Eternal Danger Islands. When the Nothing's tear encountered the Akasha, the communal Naga soul, it was both terrified and fascinated. The Nothing eventually consumed the soul and identity of the elder Naga Vedic who spoke with it most often, the first time the Nothing consumed the name and identity of another. A group of Naga Jakla who used their Pearl Magic to perform a powerful ritual, destroying the foundations of the islands, which was claimed by the sea. The island was remade into a archipelago, and the Foul was swept away.
