Setting
Iron Heroes is designed to be setting-independent; while a sample adventure setting is provided, it is meant only to illustrate the general atmosphere that often fits an Iron Heroes game best, and contains few details. Of relevance:
- Humanity was once enslaved by a greater race, now vanished.
- Civilization is diffuse and constantly imperiled by monsters and petty warlords.
- Knowledge of the world is limited and is ripe for exploration.
Dungeon masters are encouraged to create their own settings to best fit the needs of their players.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“Dandyism is the last flicker of heroism in decadent ages.... Dandyism is a setting sun; like the declining star, it is magnificent, without heat and full of melancholy. But alas! the rising tide of democracy, which spreads everywhere and reduces everything to the same level, is daily carrying away these last champions of human pride, and submerging, in the waters of oblivion, the last traces of these remarkable myrmidons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“A fit abode for a poet. Stage setting at least correct.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
