Joana, thanks for the thread. My initial search fu was inadequate. It clarifies things a bit. I'll stress the tangled nature of the place and possible dragon attack if they try to race around too much.

My compliments to Jason Bulmahn for his handling of the NPC characterizations in the Armageddon Echo. I've put more than a small amount of work into making this AP run smoothly for my group (yeah, all of one player but meh) and these NPCs needed no embellishment.
Eloquan in particular made me cry as I was prepping for game tonight. I read the description provided
All of the globes in the hall of memory are functional, and master librarian Eloquan (CG male elf expert 14), who refused to leave his precious library in the face of the coming apocalypse, still tends to them. Eloquan believes that the end is coming, but being extremely set in his ways, he feels no need to abandon the library—if it is to be destroyed, so must he. Eloquan knows that the elven seers have predicted that Earthfall will occur soon.
and I could hear Eloquan's voice in my head. Wise, old, sad, stubborn:
This library holds the collected knowledge of hundreds of generations of elves. We librarians have given our lives and our deaths to preserve the collective knowledge of our race and our world; there is nothing more important. If it is to be destroyed then so must I. I will not live in a world where this knowledge has been lost.
Now to see if I can actually recreate that voice for tonight's game. Hot damn I hope so.

I don't know if this tread is still active, but I hope so.
At the end of Children of the Void, the PC found a map of Celwynvian. This map is printed on page 50 of the The Armageddon Echo.
But when the PC found it, it is written: "The map of Celwynvian could be of particular import to the Shin'Rakorath, as it include information on several key drow encampment and patrol routes (see Pathfinder #15)"
So my question is where are those information? They are not in The Armageddon Echo, at least i did not find them..

I believe it was something that ended up getting cut between development of book 2 and book 3. The official word on it, iirc, was either don't mention the supposed markings when the PCs find the map in Children of the Void or else just invent where they are for the purposes of being useful to the Shin'Rakorath.

Did anyone can pinpoint what is the level progression in Armageddon Echo? So far, i did not find any reference...
My feeling will be:
Up to the end of the Library: Level 7
The Alchemical raid up to the Battle at the academy - Level 8
In armageddoon's Shadow up to the end = Level 9
But as the next chapter is for Level 9, i am not sureif they should be only 2 level in that tome.

This is Joe Virtue answer a few months or years ago...
I think in The Armageddon Echo the Players would level
Before they enter the Academy of Arts
and
At the end of the adventure
So they will end up at 9th level

I need advice to help me play correctly ILVERAE PARASTRIC.
Do you played him as a bard or as an alchemist?
Is level 9 bard is not a little hard for a level 7 party. Thanks again to Joey Virtue for his great work.

As your stat block shows, this Level 9 character is a CR8 encounter, which is potentially a little tough for a 7th level party.
I was also tempted to rebuild this character in a more appropriate class, but ended up sticking with the original, just for simplicity.

Certainly wasn't in my campaign - the trog bodyguards all died to a single fireball, leaving the poor bard to try to spell cast all by herself...no chance, really.

Anyone know what the scale is of the Celwynvian map? Neither the one on page 50 or the Past on on page 36 have a scale...

Coincidentally, an answer for this showed up on RPG Stack Exchange recently...
Not really a coincidence since I posted the answer there. Was hoping for a more specific ruling on "1 inch equals something" though.
