The neighbouring locality of Ustalev to Gastash (the Thassilonian realm of Sloth, associated with Necromancy) intrigues me. As someone currently running Rise of the Runelords and looking at Carrion Crown as a potential AP for the future I'm wondering if the necromantic backgrounds of these two nations are tied and whether there is any lore/adventures relating to this?
Obviously I can make stuff up, but I'm not keen on doing anything too dramatic that isn't enshrined in canon. Call it OCD, call it a desire for everything to be in its proper place, or call it a fear that subsequent products will be rendered invalid from my choices (all our games share a setting).
Ultimately I'm not adverse to spicing up my adventure paths with supplemental adventures. My current Rise of the Runelords campaign includes a lot of elements from the Year of the Risen Rune (which I am happy to alter as it has little overarching impact). So I was wondering, does anyone know of any published material that can link elements of the Runelord of Sloth into the Carrion Crown adventure path?
Gastash is the realm of Gluttony, actually. (Sloth = Conjuration, Gluttony = Necromancy).
Zutha and Tar-Baphon are absolutely connected - it's at Zutha's "tomb," the Cenotaph, that Tar-Baphon learned how to become a mythic lich.
So Mythic Realms, which discusses both the Cenotaph and Tar-Baphon, is a published work that's relevant to your interests.
Artifacts and Legends would be another one with info about Thassilon and Tar-Baphon.
Also, I strongly recommend Rule of Fear if you don't already have it.

Zhangar, thanks! I actually logged on this morning as on the drive to work I realised I'd typed Sloth and not Gluttony.
That is exactly the reply I was hoping for, appreciate you getting back to me so quickly and I'll definitely check those references out, will probably order Rule of Fear after posting this!
