Hungry for all the diabolical details about Cheliax, the nation at the heart of the Hell's Rebels and Hell's Vengeance Adventure Paths? Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Cheliax, the Infernal Empire has you covered!

Never before have we revealed so many secrets about this Hell-bound nation, from its politics and history to its diverse cities to everyday life under the iron thumb of House Thrune. Among many other things, this gorgeous 64-page book also lays out the stark reality of crime and punishment in Chelish society, as illustrated below.

If traveling through the infernal empire is more your style—those tines are rather confining, after all—the book also offers an array of magnificent location art and maps, as well as accompanying details. Take this illustration of Khari and the Arch of Aroden, for example.

Of course, all of these Chelish places would be little more than window dressing if it weren't for the complex folks who inhabit them. The book discusses dozens of individuals who play vital roles in shaping Cheliax and its myriad locations into living, breathing places ripe with intrigue and opportunities for adventure. Below are illustrations of two such individuals, as well as a sneak peek at one of the book's six new monsters!

Gorgeous art. All of it.

Gorum is likely preparing to go to war with Cheliax and Hell right now because of that Lawful pretender though ;-)

Nope, because until we know for a FACT what the schedule is, we've learned that guessing and estimating only causes folks to be disappointed and frustrated.

But remember... these characters are going on covers that are separated by one month. Logically, one could expect a new evil iconic to show up once every four weeks or so, but you ALSO need to remember that things like holiday breaks can delay things, especially since the folks who write the Meet the Iconics here at Paizo are going to be pretty scarce until the new year.

If they show up soon, consider it a holiday present and a pleasant surprise, but we don't publish "schedules" of our blog posts.

In the top picture, I am imagining the inquisitor overseeing the executions saying something like, "Thus die the blasphemers who speculate that the Hellfire Compact is the makeup kit of Her Infernal Majestrix."

Oh, I couldn't stand to let such an opportunity to provide an evil inquisitorial soliloquy pass us by. It's in there. (No mention of makeup or compacts, though. Just horrifying Asmodean goodness.)
