elcome to the RPG world of Caxtrin. A place of medieval fantasy that once contained many mystical wonders and beheld a land of endless beauty. Now, darkness rules under the reign of a wicked race of beings known as the Darkyns, and the inhabitants of Caxtrin are forced to slave under an evil religion that stifles their freedom. Many of the mightiest of kingdoms have become servants of this darkness, blind to the truth of how this religion has distorted their lands and their people. As the kingdoms fall one by one, and the world becomes shadowed, few know hope. Are you strong enough to fight for the truth, or will the wicked ways of the Darkyns claim another victim?

Dark Kingdoms is a new fantasy role-playing game brought to you by Arcanum Syndicate with very simplistic rules, and an exciting storyline that will keep players on their toes through every step of their adventures. The battle system is actually fun, and employs “real time” combat rather than the old turn-based RPG style, and Battle Dice™ that makes the combat of the game more exciting. Character generation is quick and easy, and the possibilities are seemingly endless with a wide variety of new ideas for humanoid races, character professions, and upgradeable skills.
