->It was a time of darkness. It was an age of strife. It was an era of terror and rage. [[OurDemonsAreDifferent The nightmare creations of Chaos]] swept across the land. [[{{Precursors}} The Old Slann]] had fallen, leaving their lost children to battle the daemons alone. The polar gates, once used by the star-walking Slann to step from world to world, had collapsed, and a tide of uncontrolled magical energy swamped the Known World. From the gates emerged the spawn of Chaos: daemons, sorcerers, the lost and the damned. They marched forth to devour the world.

->[[GodOfEvil Aten]]. I'm [[{{Mummy}} one to talk about overstaying a welcome]], but, ah, this isn't its time any more. It's an ugly throwback from a darker age. A ''bleaker'' age... An Egypt of obsidian monuments, baking sand, the most shocking violence and depravity. Oh you people don't know the half of it.

But if you can't stand the heat, get out of the desert, I always said -- and you ''did!'' The [[AncientConspiracy Illuminati, the Templars, the Dragon]] all [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scurried off with their prizes, like dung beetles after a camel race]], and left Egypt to fend for herself! To overthrow a tyrant and [[UnPerson chisel the forbidden names out of memory]]...

->Some very disillusioned members of the Convention would have you believe that the so-called "[[DarkAgeEurope Mythic Age]]" was a perverse creation, an abomination forged by the combined abysmal might of the [[HermeticMagic Hermetic Tradition]] and the [[ReligionIsMagic Celestial Choristers]], and that Mankind entered a vast, thousand-year reign of darkness and unending misery as a result of technology and reason being forced underground. They'll say that the horrid powers of witches, wizards and priests made living in the world as a technologist an impossibility, and only through [[SelfServingMemory their own unswerving dedication to the precepts of rigorous control]] could we have this modern age of technological wonders we have today.
-> [[SubvertedTrope In short, they're so full of shit that a sprinkling of sulfur is all that stands between them and being a fine example of Kallinikos' Greek Fire]].
->Oh, sure, it was bad. It was ugly. Lots of people died and lots more suffered. On the other hand, [[CrapsackWorld it's been that way forever]] and if you pick any major city on the planet, I can find you the downtrodden underclass who are still suffering, dying and rotting away from the inside. The main difference is the ones today have better scenery.

->Too many tales... too many tales to sort through. It was my time, and even I cannot believe everything I have heard of the Long Night. The accounts of [[BehindEveryGreatMan kings in the thrall of]] [[VampiresAreSexGods unliving]] [[TheVamp courtesans]]... of [[BodyHorror entire cathedrals woven of living and unliving flesh]] that shuddered with the thirst for blood... of iron-toothed crones clutching [[GenuineHumanHide flayed scrolls]] inscribed with the secrets of Lilith... of demons [[DemonicPossession sinking their talons into the minds]] of kine and even Cainites... of heresy cults preaching the word of Caine the Savior... of a cup filled with the blood of Malkav... of [[SealedEvilInACan ancient gods deep beneath peat bogs]], devouring the sacrifices offered them until they woke... of the [[TheFairFolk Old Folk]] catching and torturing anyone without the iron keep them at bay...

-> Four hundred centuries have passes since man stepped out into the cold depths of space. Forty thousand years. An age so long that that its history lies shrouded in legend. Who knows how Mankind came to be scattered across a million disparate worlds? Who remembers the wars that tore ancient Earth asunder and dragged man down to the level of brute beasts? Who could recognize the names of Earth's ancient ruins, of nations destroyed and peoples long since crumbled to dust? To these questions, there can no answers. From these times there come only whispers of horror and death.
