Dark mapping is essentially the inverse of light mapping. Light mapping is a form of multiple texture texturemapping in which the brightness values calculated from exposure to nearby dynamic lighting, is calculated on a frame by frame basis, and inserted as an additional texture layer onto an object. This gives the illusion that the object is lit by a given lightsource, without having to calculate exactly which parts of it are lit.

A guide to the politics of the dark ages, from a VR world recreation standpoint.

You hear it, and turn towards it. It is coming from your left, and down a ways. Beyond that you cannot tell. Reaching out, you grasp at empty air. The fear rises as you reach out for something, anything to grasp on, and through some flailing, you find a smooth wall.
