Mythic Europe


 * For the book, see Mythic Europe (book).

Mythic Europe is the medieval, fantastical setting of the Ars Magica roleplaying game. Mythic Europe is in many ways the forebear of the World of Darkness, especially the Dark Medieval world of the Dark Ages setting that was introduced in Vampire: The Dark Ages.

The term "Mythic Europe" does appear (sparingly) in early Mage: The Ascension sourcebooks; there, the term is often used interchangeably with the Mythic Age of high magic that existed before the Consensus took sway over the world. The Dark Fantastic era of Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade builds on the foundations of Mythic Europe, but by that point in time, the Mythic Age was no more.
