Well, prophetic cycles are important, especially so in this mythology. So, while you may be looking to events to provide an impetus for the ink, you have to be willing to entertain the possibility that even less similar events were stretched to fit the narrative (and that's avoiding that they may be manufactured whole-clothe). No one needs any event in actuality to provide a reason for storytelling.
