Talk:Born in the Month of Darkness/@comment-16533050-20181030190328/@comment-26199726-20181031144942

Given that the Outsider's birth isn't exactly a minutely documented historical event (not to mention all the issues you mentioned), I think we can reasonably assume it is either just for effect or was more or less randomly chosen and developed into a common myth.

Not that I'd want to compare the two, but I recall hearing the birth of Christ is unlikely to have transpired in late December, yet many people believe that it did. Could be similar with the Month of Darkness.

Needless to say we can't know for certain if it's just a fluke of this particular songwriter, a common myth, or actual fact (although the latter would surprise me).
