In ancient times, a band of sorcerers used the Darkhold to conquer the entire world. For this, they created a spell that caused their dead enemies to rise again, intending to use them as their pawns.

3. Darkhold Spells to Open the Gate to other Dimensions
The story goes, that Carnage once went to an ancient temple in Indonesia. Guided by the book, he performed a blood sacrifice by killing his own servants and casting a spell as they died, causing a gate to open to another dimension. The temple and the surrounding area transformed into a region between our world and that of the Elder God Chthon, where the usual laws of physics do not exist. Such reality-shattering spells are what give this book its notoriety.
