''Quest for Glory: Shadows Of Darkness'' is the fourth game in the ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' series. Literally moments after his victory in the third game, the hero was teleported away by dark magic. He awakens in a very large, and very strange cave, whose caverns seem to resemble organs or bones, and is littered with skeletons and much worse things. The hero finds his way out of the cave and stumbles upon Katrina, a young woman who is surprised that anything made it out of the cave in one piece. She points him toward the local town where there the hero gradually learns more about the land he has found himself in.
The land is called Mordavia, (this time the setting is inspired by [[Myth/SlavicMythology Eastern European]] and [[Myth/RussianMythologyAndTales Russian folk myths]] and [[GothicHorror Gothic imagery]]) and it was scarred by an old conflict long ago between good and evil. Once a group of deranged cultists who worshiped an EldritchAbomination called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Dark One]] attempted to summon it from its natural dimension and into the world. A group led by the paladin Pioytr and the famous sorceress Erana fought against them, and managed to interrupt the ritual. Erana disappeared in the fight, and most but not all of the cult was killed. Shortly afterward, Piotyr also vanished, which caused many to think he had abandoned the land and his responsibilities.
Because The Dark One had already been partially summoned, interrupting the ceremony did not get rid of it entirely. Instead it has been lying dormant in the form of the cave the hero appeared in, and its partial presence in the world has been warping the land, turning it into a hotbed of dark magic and evil creatures. Although the land and its people have limped on since the battle against the cultists, the people have become extremely suspicious of outsiders.
Decades later, a few such outsiders came to Mordavia and took up residence in the abandoned castle to the north. Not long afterwards, heavy rains created a swamp blocking off the only road out of the valley, effectively cutting off Mordavia from the rest of the world. The people of Mordavia shut themselves in the walls of the town, leaving only to plow their fields during the day, and became more paranoid about outsiders than ever.

** Mordavia (an otherwise stereotypical Eastern-European / Transyvania-esque setting) used to have elephants. And a thriving elephant herding business. This comes up indirectly once. But with the voice acting one, a lot of the ad-libbed dialogue of the three townspeople at the tavern at night will revolve around the constant mention of Mordavia's elephant herding past. In particular Ivan (who mentions he used to be an elephant herder) will constantly bring it up.
** Mordavians' obsession with garlic. Both as their national food (replacing the peanut, which they used to grow for their elephant herds) and its supposed protective qualities. Every one of Bella's meals features garlic as an ingredient. The rations are garlic and avocado sandwich. Garlic flowers are common Mordavian decorations and wreaths of garlic are ''everywhere''. Ironically [[spoiler:Katrina points out garlic has no effect on Vampires, other than to disgust them]].

Ironically [[spoiler:Katrina points out garlic has no effect on Vampires, other than to disgust them]]. It gets even funnier as the Mordavians don't even ''know'' they have Vampires living in the castle to begin with. They just all pivoted to garlic on their own.

* StoppedNumberingSequels: This trope is set up in this installment, but ultimately subverted by the next one: unlike the previous three games, this one does not have a numeral, instead being titled simply ''Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness''... but the next game was again numbered, as ''Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire'', implicitly acknowledging ''Shadows of Darkness'' as the fourth mainline entry.

Even so, they still wanted to keep the original numbering scheme for ''Dragon Fire'', so ''Shadows'' was released without a number (and then creative attitudes shifted again during the ensuing SequelGap, so ''Dragon Fire'' was numbered ''V'', anyway).

** If you wait in the Inn for about 5 minutes while Bella is out, she will exercise with a barbell.
** If you wait in the Burgomeister's Office for about 30 minutes while he's present, the Burgomeister's head will suddenly rotate 360 degrees clockwise.[[note]]Mind the time of day if trying this. Being in his office at the moment of dawn is a game over.[[/note]]
** If you stand at the northernmost portion of the graveyard until lightning strikes the left side of the area, some kind of glowing-eyed tentacle monster will briefly peek from under a coffin lid. It doesn't show up if you're standing anywhere else.
