Lost Cities of Golarion is shipping!

My first look at the world that would become Golarion was James Jacobs' work on Varisia for the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. I was blown away by the lost civilization of Thassilon, whose old ruins permeate the Varisian countryside, adding an old flavor to the relatively new country. As we continue to explore Golarion, this theme plays out in other lands, and my mind starts dreaming about adventures to uncover the stories of each ruin my players uncover. Lost Cities of Golarion, our latest Pathfinder Campaign Setting book, tells the stories of six of the most famous ruins in all of Golarion. Adventure awaits!

Golarion is an old world, and even its oldest civilizations stand atop the ruins of more ancient nations, long lost to the ravages of time. Each of the six cities presented in this book offers enough new challenges and treasures to support an entire campaign of any level. Take your game into the great unknown and make history at your table!

The ancient lost cities explored in this book include:
• Ilvarandin, a teeming metropolis hidden deep in the treacherous Darklands, ruled by sinister creatures who supply the surface with a strange drug through which they plan to enslave the entire world’s dreams
• Kho, the crashed flying city of the ancient Shory, whose still-sputtering magical engines lure explorers to the verdant Mwangi Expanse—and into the clutches of its resident marids, plague-bearing daemons, and winged ape-men
• Storasta, the once-verdant jewel of Sarkorian civilization now enveloped by the Worldwound, where the corrupted forces of nature battle the hordes of the Abyss for control
• The Sun Temple Colony, where humanity struggles against a twisted godling and a fire-spewing orbital lens in an attempt to establish civilization on the ruined continent of Azlant
• Tumen, the ancient Osirian cliff-city, where cultists, golems, and desert elementals guard the greatest works of long-forgotten pharaohs
• Xin-Shalast, City of Greed, in which gold-paved streets and crumbling mountainside monoliths lead to ultimate wealth and the strange otherworld of the Plateau of Leng
