Dark Eras are historical settings for the various gamelines of the Chronicles of
Darkness, similar to the Dark Medieval of the Classic World of Darkness.

OverviewEdit
For 2014, Onyx Path did not present a new game line- instead each of the previous
nine game lines is expanded with an evocative and appropriate historical period.
Each Dark Era is being created by a developer and writer; for example, Ethan Skemp
takes his award-winning Changeling: The Lost to France during the Era of powdered
wigs, treachery, and flashing blades. For the first time, Onyx Path used
Kickstarter to construct this book using direct feedback from the fans during the
process and increase some Eras� word-count or add entirely new Eras as the
community pushes for their favorites.

In 2017, Onyx Path started a new kickstarter for a new set of Dark Eras,
incorporating experiences from the previous kickstarters into them.
