It depicts a shattered Occident where weak clergy, depopulated cities, and pervasive violence frame the infiltration of the Cthulhu Mythos by ghouls, Deep Ones, Shub-Niggurath’s dark young, Mi-go, Nyarlathotep, and the sleeping Great Cthulhu.

Special thanks go to Hannes Kaiser for checking the historical consistency of Cthulhu Dark Ages, to Christian Bloom for his scholarly knowledge of dead languages, and to Stephen Posey for his abnormally high Cthulhu Mythos skill – we pray for his soul!  \nMany thanks to our many supporters out there on the web, I can’t name them all for lack of space and for fear of forgetting a few (mind the wrath of Mythos cultists) . Walk through the gate to the alt.horror.cthulhu newsgroup and the Strange Aeons mailing list hosted by Chaosium to find them all (and maybe a few detractors too) . Thanks in particular to Richard Extall of Dark Moon Design for his beautiful Dark Ages Investigator sheet and to Matt Wiseman of the Shoggoth net for his support. Last but not least, I want to express my thanks and affection to my three “old” pals Eric Brisson, Philippe Vallet and Jacques Baudrier with whom it all started in the late 70’s. And a sad thought for Eric Devisscher – my first player ever - who eventually lost his sanity because of real life, and with it his desire to live.  \nCopyright © 1997-2001 S.
