== Summary ==
Tacenda Verlasen is a young woman who lives in a small village in the Approaches, a remote area of Innistrad. She and her twin sister Willia were born with the extraordinary power to protect their village from the encroaching darkness and monsters, Tacenda with her Warding Song and Willia with her skills as a warrior. With this power, however, came an accompanying curse--Tacenda would become blind during the daytime and Willia would become blind during the night, meaning neither could see at the same time.

== Setting ==
The novella is set in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. In this multiverse, reality is separated into innumerable "planes," each of which is a world or universe separated from all others by the Blind Eternities. Though the planes are generally separate, there are certain individuals who are born with a "spark" and can become Planeswalkers, capable of shifting themselves instantaneously from plane to plane. Each plane is generally a unique setting influenced by real-world historical or literary settings. The plane of Innistrad, where ''Children of the Nameless'' is set, is primarily influenced by 17th and 18th century gothic horror. The entirety of the story takes place in the Approaches, a remote area of the central province of Kessig.
