The Eras
Of Iron & Thorns is not a single moment in history, but a broken chronicle of ages. Each Era is both a time of the world and a different form of play.
Fourth Era
Of Iron & Thorns
The Age of the Sacrum Imperium
The main campaign setting: a dark alternate medieval Regnum Italiae of city-states, noble houses, saints, relics, ancient peoples and the war between the Crown of Thorns and the Iron Crown. Aemilia is the First Scenario.
Enter the Fourth EraThird Era
Gorgoth the Barbarian
The Age Without Empire
A dark age before restoration: broken dominions, hunger, iron, ruined sanctuaries and wandering horrors. The Third Era is the home of Gorgoth’s solo gamebooks and solo-play chronicles — a more archaic, brutal age.

Anno Lacrimarum
After the First Trumpet
The world after the First Trumpet: an age of apocalypse, ruptured law and revelation yet to be fully unveiled. The Fifth Era is not yet open. Its shape is not yet known.
