Publisher's blurb: Near the Western cliffs of the Black Plateau, overlooking the wine dark sea, stands the city-state of Thorn, the last, great walled city. There is a place for everybody in Thorn. Welcome home. Thorn is a fantasy roleplaying game set in a fictional bronze age, in the most important city in the world. Drawing from ancient Akkadia, Assyria, Babylon, and Sumer, the game is meant to be played in the city-state of Thorn and environs, but it is not meant to replicate the entirety of the ancient world. However, these rules can be ignored and the setting can be dropped into any campaign already underway. What sets Thorn apart is the culture, intrigue, and mystical nature of the city.
