The Dark Ages

Ah yes, recall a bygone era when armies slammed into each other, barbarian "trash" was the name of the game, better die rolling was how a man was judged and much alchohol consumed. Join us in probably the most fun theme we ever run, Da Dark Ages. We nominally start with the fall of the Roman Empire and conclude with William's invasion of England. A broad theme, it's designed to give everybody a glimpse of western Europe's 600 years of chaos, empire building, and the rise of the knight.
