The ancient empires collapsed centuries ago, taking their culture and learning with them. It’s a dark world and people are right to be afraid of the dark. Apart from the Viking raiders, witches, and outlaws, there are the unquiet dead, ancient horrors, and other malevolent beings stalking the countryside. Dark entities, beyond good and evil, wait hidden in the recesses of time and the angles of space. A few brave souls try their best to resist the horrors and push them back from whence they came.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"alpha omega prod-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid_11 alpha omega prod-content-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWill you be one of them?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEdition,\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCthulhu Dark Ages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas been updated for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEdition, completely revised and includes a wealth of new setting material.
