Line 53:
* [[Warhammer 40000]] has several Dark Times: the aftermath of "The War in Heaven" stands out when all life was enslaved under the rule of the [[Physical God|C'tan]], until a ''plague of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] killed 99% of all living things.''
** By most series' standards, Warhammer 40k is entirely made up of Dark Times.
** Arguably 40k subverts this trope by having the present be the Dark Times with the past for the Imperium and the Eldar being depicted as glorious golden ages undone by [[And Man Grew Proud|their own pride]]. Since then [[It Got Worse|it just keeps getting worse]].
* ''[[Warhammer]] Fantasy'' had a fairly brief Dark Times, the period between the Old Ones' fall unleashing the Chaos gods, and the High elves succeeding in mostly closing the Warp Gate that let Chaos in. Of course, [[Crapsack World|everything still sucks]], but Chaos doesn't dominate the majority of the world anymore.
