Where and When:

This chapter of Doomsday Dawn takes place in the year 4707 ar (11 years prior to Golarion’s present) in the Varisian city of Magnimar, just before the events of Pathfinder Adventure Path #1: Burnt Offerings, the first installment of the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. Knowledge of the ancient empire of Thassilon remains obscure and unknown to the world at large, and with Osirion’s ruins only recently opened to exploration, the Aucturn Enigma itself has not yet been rediscovered. Since this chapter takes place before the first Pathfinder Adventure Path, there are no implications to the world based on the outcomes of previous campaigns that may have played out at your table.
