Introducing the Myth-Speaker Player’s Guide

Located halfway along the Obari Crossing sea route that connects the Inner Sea to wondrous Vudra, the archipelago of Iblydos boasts millennia-old city-states guided by ascended hero-gods. At least that’s how society used to operate; the Age of Lost Omens ruined prophecies’ reliability, and cyclopean prophecies were essential in creating new hero-gods. As attrition and age kill off the remaining hero-gods, Iblydos perseveres, made rich by trade yet dreading the demise of its pantheon.

In the Myth-Speaker Adventure Path, the player characters visit the city-state of Pol-Bailax as it mourns the death of an exceptional citizen—one who would have become a hero-god in better times. Yet Iblydans don’t simply weep; they celebrate a life well lived. The PCs’ arrival coincides with spectacular funeral games to celebrate this hometown hero, and it’s a perfect time to join the festivities, discover Iblydan history, and begin the PCs’ own legend. As they do, mythic power is reawakening in Iblydos as not seen in ages. It’s all fun and games for now, but the PCs soon attain mythic power of their own. Will they become the hero-gods Iblydos has long sought? And what is this mythic power, why does it emerge now, and what is the cost of this power?

Inside the Myth-Speaker Player’s Guide, you’ll find player-friendly, spoiler-free tips and advice to help you create an exciting and engaging character ready to take on what awaits. Contents include:

• Character suggestions, including recommendations for ancestries, classes, languages, skills, and feats well suited for this Adventure Path.
• Six new backgrounds designed for adventurers in Iblydos, such as the Student of Apotheosis who studies the hero-gods of old and the Beast Seeker who dreams of confronting the legendary monsters that call the islands home.
• An overview of the remaining hero-gods to inspire your own journey or even empower your divine spellcasters.
