Darklands is a world in which you command the armies of man and beast that your ancestors once did for glory, power or simple survival.

What if dragons really flew and giants really walked the earth? What if berserkers actually were bear-men, man and bear joined together? What if all of the myths and legends we take for granted were real and our ancestors fought against - and with - creatures and beings and realms we thought were nothing more than the fantasies of our uncivilised selves?

Based in the Dark Ages in the year 650AD in Northwest Europe, Darklands is a Skirmish Wargame that allows you to field the men and mythological beasts of the time. This game will allow you to:
- Take command of Norse Trolls and Jötunn and conduct raids on the coast of Dark Age Britain.
- Lead the hosts of Baalor, the Evil Eye in the Ice, and the Fomoraic, a race of half men and beast along with hideous sea creatures under the thrall of Baalor in their quest to crush Dark Age Ireland.
- Defend Dark Age Wales with the Brythoniaid and their draconic allies.

The game will feature the following Kindreds (factions):
- Albainn (Picts)
- Angelcynn (Angles)
- Atalantes (Classic Greeks from the mythical continent of Atlantis)
- Brythoniaid (Welsh Britons)
- Byzantii (Dark Age Romans)
- Érainn (Irish)
- Fomoraic (Fomorians)
- Khthones (Escaped slaves of the Atlantes and all are Reptilian Anthropomorphs such as Snakes, Crocodiles, Hydras and Basilisks)
- Norse (Vikings)
- Ysians (An alliance of Kernow and the mythical city of Ys)

With these additional, smaller Kindreds appearing as allies to the others:
- The Vras (Greedy ratmen allied with the Ysians)
- Infernii (Daemons from Dantes Divine Comedy allied with the Byzantii)
