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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWill you be one of them?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; color: #202020; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eWith the 3\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; font-size: 11.25px; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em;\"\u003erd\u003c\/span\u003e Edition,\u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;\"\u003e Cthulhu Dark Ages\u003c\/em\u003e has been updated for \u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;\"\u003eCall of Cthulhu\u003c\/em\u003e 7\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; position: relative; font-size: 11.25px; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em;\"\u003eth\u003c\/span\u003e Edition, completely revised and includes a wealth of new setting material.
