Having just completed the ENnie-award nominated, critically acclaimed "Way of the Wicked", Fire Mountain Games now turns its energies to Throne of Night, the subterranean sandbox adventure path. A Pathfinder compatible Level 1-20 adventure path where you need never see the sun.
Here is the cover of Book I: Dark Frontier.
Will you be a noble explorer of the depths of the earth forging a grand alliance or will you conquer an empire beneath a heel of iron? Will you be a cruel drow slaver subjugating all you survey or a valiant dwarf hero reclaiming lost glories? Are you bold enough to claim for yourself a Throne of Night?
Book One is coming soon. Five more books will follow throughout 2013.
Conquer the darkness.

Is this glorious thing ready yet?! I started an Underdark game, and this would be beautiful.
This intrigues me. I sounds like this AP is geared more towards Drow and Dwarves. Are other races equally viable, or is this more geared towards them? I understand that other races might not be geared as well towards an underground campaign.

That's a great cover. I'll promise you this: I'll buy the first book and see if I want to subscribe for the rest. I really like that this goes from level 1-20, and I have heard very good things from others about Way of the Wicked.
@Kcinlive: It is geared toward Drow and Dwarves specifically. That's not to say you can't play other races, but players should be strongly considering a mostly Drow or mostly Dwarf party.

Cool. Thanks for the reply.

You will have a chance to buy a subscription in our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, which should be kicking off within a week or so.

Thanks for your interest!
Not yet, but we are working on this furiously. Check out our facebook page for art and previews.

What Itchy said is correct. You can play anything. In fact, this campaign better supports monstrous PCs than almost anything ever published. But dwarves and drow are getting the lion's share of the word count.
Fundamentally this campaign embraces two points of views -- explorer and overlord. The quintessential explorer races is dwarf and for overlords, obviously, the drow.
The explorer has come to the Azathyr to discover the secrets of this mysterious region of the underworld. They may be looking for wealth or glory or to reclaim a lost kingdom. But ultimately the explorer's mission is noble and benevolent.
Not so the overlord. The overlord is here to subjugate. They will enslave all the peoples of the Azathyr and by their own might, forge a new kingdom in the dark places of the earth. All will bow before them or perish.
For shorthand, I've taken to calling the two disparate points of view X vs. O. So, which are you -- an X or an O?

Very excited to get in on this one, and happy to hear there will be a kickstarter (I always like kickstarters)

I am a U.
I am a Unifier.
I will Unify all the free people and nations.
With the benevolence of superior firepower.
All shall love me, with Crushing Despair.
I'm eager to get this just for the ideas on how to run a Chaotic Evil party without it dissolving into PC on PC murder sprees; but I already know that the rest of it will be amazing too!
Heh, pity there'd be no way to do this AP playing two adventurer parties at different times, one the noble dwarves and the other the evil drow.

Actually, Gary's hoping to do that up as well. I've brought that up a couple of times on Facebook, and he's always been willing to answer.

Eric,
It won't be in Book One, but I do plan to do an article about running two simultaneous parties of adventurers through this adventure path -- one an Explorer, the other Overlord.
