The factual accuracy of this article is disputed, as is the neutrality. Please see the talk page.
Arduin is a mythical Role-playing game world created by the late David A. Hargrave beginning in the mid to late 1970s. Hargrave's ideas included aspects of high fantasy, science fiction and horror, and became so popular that Hargrave was inspired to publish his material. Initially self-published, his early world of Arduin works were later published by Grimoire Games.
