I would be extremely shocked if the PCs actually go mythic, given previous developer experiences. More likely, there'll be some sort of benefits granted or artifacts acquired that bring the PCs up in power without granting mythic tiers. Don't forget that the Rise of the Runelords PCs and the Shattered Star PCs - complete with Sihedron - will affect this AP as well.

Based on James Jacobs' comments about five runelords, yeah PFS defeating one of them is in the continuity.
(also yeah confirmed to be level 1-20 ap without mythic. Makes sad since I would like to see more mythic aps, or at least partially mythic, tier 3 is sweet spot from what I heard for Wrath of the Righteous?)

I wouldn't be surprised if there were several mythic foes there though, WotR taught us that a regular non-mythic party of PCs can handle those just fine. In fact, mythic makes for great system for spicing up encounters without artificially inflating HD or doing the dreaded "It's an advanced dire celestial shadow divine guardian fighter boar, you better either have HeroLab or an hour of spare time for statting this up" thing.

Given the Runelords we haven't seen yet, I'm intrigued by the idea of facing Belimarius, the Runelord of Envy/Abjuration. I've seen tons of necromancers, evokers, conjurers, etc. so that's kind of 'been there, done that,' but an Abjuration specialist? Part of me wants her to be all 'blue deck' from Magic the Gathering, all about shutting down and denying others magical effects, while her minions actually inflict the damage. Another part of me wants her to roll up her sleeves and beat you to death with her halberd (and non-magically potent minions), from inside an anti-magic field...
"Yes, yes, I'm sure you have unique spells and amazing magical tactics that you've developed over decades. Let's see how well you fare when I take all that away..."

It's NAZIS. The apostrophe is redundant, because it's not a possessive.

"Nazi" is not an acronym, so spelling it in all capitals is incorrect.
Also, more to the point, what does it matter if someone spells something wrong? You're on an internet forum. So long as you understood the idea being expressed, it doesn't matter. Language exists to communicate ideas, and I honestly fail to see the point of "correcting" how an idea was communicated when it was still communicated.

In my case I actually appreciate it....
I am very phonetic in my spelling patterns, so especially if I'm not paying strict attention, I tend to use the wrong form of similar sounding words (there, their, etc....) and those are not often caught by spell check either. Punctuation rules are often confused by my autism as well....so it's good for me to see corrections.At least after a while some of them tend to stick ;)

...could there have already been hints of this in one of last season's PFS scenarios?
Riddleport has the Cyphermages faction.
Alaznist had a research lab that the Pathfinders found.
Fiery wrath is specifically noted, so the Runelord of Wrath sounds prominent.
There is a rumor that she created the reefclaws, which show up in a PFS scenario in Riddleport.
It may also make part of this an aquatic adventure, as well?

There are nearly 50 runelords who existed over the course of Thassilon's run, of which the majority we've said nothing about. More than the seven last ones will have roles to play in Return of the Runelords, I suspect. Alderpash included in perhaps a small way. We'll see!

The Runelord of Wrath position probably had a pretty high turnover, as Alaznist slaying Thybidos to take the job was referred to as a 'quite traditional' method of succession. (Not that several of the Runelords didn't get their jobs the same way...)
But yeah, *fifty* is an eye-opening number. :)
Interesting that the Runelord of Envy never actually killed her predecessor, keeping his still-living body in a coffin of force in her throne room as a trophy. So, technically, there could be *two* Runelords of Envy available to face...
