The Dark Ages (500–1000 CE)

By the early medieval period, supernatural beings had vanished entirely from human sight, forced into hiding to avoid extinction as the dominance of Christianity and Islam spread. Tales of witches, vampyres, and daemons lingered in folklore but were treated as cautionary stories rather than real threats. The supernatural, now fully veiled, influenced human societies only through whispers and rare encounters, keeping their existence alive in myths while avoiding direct interaction with humanity.
