The Demoman, defending

Trivia

  • The item's name refers to the Dark Ages, an outdated historiographical term used for the Early Middle Ages (circa 500 - 1000 AD). Despite popular conception, the term is now largely discouraged as knowledge and learning did not drop from Roman times, as was commonly thought in later centuries.
    • Furthermore, although this item is labeled "Dark Age", this sort of plate armor is more akin to what would be developed around the High Middle Ages (c. 1000 - 1250 AD).
  • This item, together with Glasgow Great Helm, was a part of Svdl's Dark Age of Demolition Demoman set.
