The Legacy of Fire Adventure Path begins! This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path features the first adventure by Paizo publisher Erik Mona since "The Whispering Cairn" began the Age of Worms Adventure Path in 2005, presents details on some of the most brutal gnoll tribes of the Brazen Peaks, and includes a Set Piece adventure revolving around a particularly demented and sinister hermit. In addition, New York Times best-selling author Elaine Cunningham kicks off her six-part novella, Dark Tapestry in the Pathfinder's Journal!
Contents
1. "Howl of the Carrion King" by Erik Mona (6)
- In the exotic nation of Katapesh, a land of fortune and wonders, heroes are those with the courage to command their destinies. Such wisdom leads a daring band to the abandoned village of Kelmarane with the hopes of reestablishing the once prosperous community. But buzzards still feast upon the secluded settlement’s corpse: a savage tribe of gnolls and their bestial allies hold the town in the name of a merciless master known only as the Carrion King. Can the PCs retake the village from its feral conquerors, or is Kelmarane but the first bastion of civilization to fall before the hordes of the mysterious warlord?
2. "Gnolls of the Brazen Peaks" by Eric Haddock (56)
- An investigation into the savage gnoll tribes of the Brazen Peaks, their brutal culture, and their merciless members.
3. "The Refuge of Nethys" by James MacKenzie (62)
- Ruins once sacred to the god of magic have become the lair of a living curse in this Set Piece adventure.
4. "Double Dealings" (Dark Tapestry) by Elaine Cunningham (70)
- Pathfinder Channa Ti is captured by gnoll slavers and dragged to the markets of Katapesh to be sold as a "water witch." But for good or ill, the deals made in Katapesh are seldom quite that simple and straightforward.
5. "Bestiary" by Adam Daigle, James Jacobs, and F. Wesley Schneider (76)
6. "Legacy of Fire Outline" by Pathfinder Staff (88)
