The Dark is the opposing army from the east who wage war against the Light. Under the command of the Leveler, the Fallen Lords, and other dark sorcerers, the Dark is mostly comprised of the undead, with other races (such as ghols, mauls, and trow) make up for rest of the ranks. It is their mission to destroy all humanity and bring eternal darkness upon the world of Myth.
