Sothis, the Stormhaven of Osirion, is the finest metropolis in all of the Inner Sea, with a history more storied even than that of Absalom.

Though they may look intimidating, the crocodiles of the Rivers Sphinx, Asp, and Crook really just want a hug.

The gnolls of the southern desert are decidedly less friendly than their reptilian counterparts, but rumor has it they enjoy rare meat and painfully witty puns.

The Khopeshman of Sothis may take his name from his favorite weapon, but he's actually taken a vow to never use his sword against a living creature. Have no fear breaking the law in his presence.

This month's Pathfinder Society Scenarios send the ever-resourceful agents after two valuable treasure troves, and thanks to its inside information, the society has exclusive access to both sites; however, just because a ruin is long-forgotten does not mean that it is undefended.

Sam Polak's Pathfinder Society Scenario #4-17: Tower of the Ironwood Watch sends the Pathfinders to the edge of the Mierani Forest to explore a lost elven watchtower.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #4-18 The Veteran's Vault, written by former Editorial Intern, Savannah Broadway, sends the operatives to recover an ex-Pathfinder's hidden wealth that she secreted away somewhere in Korvosa five years ago.

This is an exciting month of "firsts" for many reasons. It's the first time that we deal directly with Venture-Captain Sir Canayven Heidmarch, Sheila's husband. Also, not only are these the authors' first Pathfinder Society scenarios that they have written, but they're also the first that I had the privilege to develop. Look for these scenarios later this week.
