A flash game from [http://www.nobstudio.com/ Nob Studio], ''[['''Book of Mages the Dark Times]]''''' is the sequel to [[Book Of Mages The Chaotic Period|Book of Mages: The Chaotic Period]]. Like its predecessor, The Dark Times casts the player in the role of a gifted young mage from one of six clans, each specializing in a different form of [[Playing with Fire|Fire]] or [[Making a Splash|Water]] magic. The mage clans are bound together in a loosely-organized and rather turbulent society under the rule of the Great Mage, who won his position by being [[Asskicking Equals Authority|the strongest mage of all]]. However, the current Great Mage is an evil man, and he has created an organization known as the [[State Sec|Black Robes]] who go around murdering any mage who speaks against him. In response to this tyranny, several leading mages from the Great Sea and Burning Hill clans formed [[La Résistance|the White Robes]] to resist the Great Mage and protect mages from the Black Robes' tyranny.
 
A major subplot in the game revolves around the Book of Mages: a book that serves as a pecking order and ranks the strongest hundred mages in the world. As might be expected, this is [[Serious Business|seen as a big deal by most mages]], and many spend their lives challenging each other to duels so that they can move up in the ranks.
 
=== Book of Mages: The Dark Times provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: Averted. While certain clans are iconically associated with the White or Black Robes, there are heroes and villains in all clans, and the main difference is in magic style, not morality.
* [[The Archmage]]: The Great Mage, or anyone who reaches the top of the Book of Mages. At the start of the game, these are the same person, but you can usurp either or both spots. {{spoiler|The Great Mage is actually not the most powerful mage in the world by a long shot.}}
** {{spoiler|The [[Bonus Boss|Mysterious Hermit]] really is the strongest mage in the world, being one of the Six who created the Book of Mages.}}
