It has come to the attention of the management of the Rivercliffe Museum of Mostly Natural Histories that MOST of the staff knows absolutely NOTHING about basic world history.

As such, we hope you will join the curator, Marwood, for a comprehensive and 100% mandatory refresher on everything important that has ever happened, magical or otherwise, since the dawn of time.

Rivercliffe has been hit by a sub-zero cold snap, but you'd hardly notice in the museum.

Oh, and something unseen may or may not be stalking him through the museum's dark halls... and does anyone else hear a drill?   Episode 6 of DARK AGES features... Brandon Kraemer as Nick Brittany Michel as Josephine Eli Banks as Abraxas, the Narrator and Bell...

Abraxas, the museum's cantankerous security agent, is so lost in his own war stories that he has a hard time knowing which era he's in.
