Seasons of Hieron is a series of three seasons of the TTRPG actual-play podcast Friends at the Table. Its story takes place in the post-post-apocalyptic fantasy world of Hieron and is primarily played in the PbtA game Dungeon World. It remains popular in Friends at the Table fandom even years after its conclusion.

Continuity & Organization

Seasons of Hieron consists of Friends at the Table's first, third, and fifth seasons: Autumn in Hieron, Winter in Hieron, and Spring in Hieron (often referred to by fans as Autumn, Winter, and Spring for short). Unlike most seasons of the Divine Cycle, these three seasons do not stand alone and instead function as one serialized story and one fandom.

The mini-season Marielda is a prequel to Autumn in Hieron and takes place in the same continuity as the rest of the Seasons of Hieron, but its story stands alone and it is often treated as its own discrete fandom.
