BOONS
Hero of the Five Kings: For helping Torvic (and thus dwarves everywhere) find the Gallery of Wonders, you have gained a small amount of fame with the dwarves of the Five Kings Mountains. When dealing with any dwarf from that region from now on, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Charisma-based checks.

If Zamir is coerced into joining the Pathfinder Society:
Venture-Captain Mihir presents you with a copper coin that has the sigil of the open road on one side and the flag of Jalmeray on the other. When in Absalom or any major city (more than 5,000 residents) in Andoran, Cheliax, Jalmeray, Osirion, Qadira, or Taldor, you can present this coin to any citizen of Jalmeray (it takes 1d4 hours to locate one) and receive a +4 circumstance bonus on any one Appraise, Diplomacy, or Knowledge (any) skill check. You may only use this coin once per scenario.

The Favor of Cartahegn: While in a settlement of 5,000 people or more anywhere on the continent of Garund, you may purchase mundane equipment (but not weapons or armor) through your favorable connections with House Cartahegn at a 10% discount.

You Rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the Tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence or Charisma-based checks made while in Absalom.

Jayorass's Admiration You have impressed the sage Irskin Jayorass, and he holds you in high regard should you ever meet him again.

Your Reputation Precedes You Word that you completely wiped out Vashian the Needle's Red Mantis cell spreads through the secretive organization. You gain a +2 bonus on all future Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks against members of the Red Mantis.

Lore of the Lotus Annals: Your time transcribing or transporting the rare ancient Nagaji text known as the Lotus Annals has imparted upon you unique insight about nagas, the nagaji people, the nation of Nagajor, and the goddess Nalinivati. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on any Knowledge skill check relating to these subjects, and a +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls and Charisma-based skill checks against nagaji or nagas.

Shortcut to the Center of the World: With the backdoor into the Hao Jin Tapestry secured for the Pathfinder Society's use, travel between the Grand Lodge in Absalom (where the physical tapestry hangs) and the wilds of Varisia is shortened from a costly or time-consuming journey to little more than quick entry into the tapestry and exit into the Well of Tainted Virtue. Whenever you are adventuring in Varisia, you may take advantage of any boon or vanity that relies on you being in the city of Absalom as if you were in the city.

An Agent Uncovered: You have uncovered a high-level traitor in the Shadow Lodge and earn the Decemvirate's favor for doing so. You gain a unique wayfinder stamped with the seal of the Decemvirate. When presented to another member of the Pathfinder Society, you receive a +2 bonus to any Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate check. This boon may not be sold.

A Glimpse of the Future: You retrieved the Sarkorian Prophecy and returned it to Nerosyan, where you spent many hours poring over its pages. At any time in the future, you may gain the benefit of this research into the possible course of events, as the spell augury (with a 60% success rate). When you have used this ability, check the box to the left.

Rune of Power: You have a single rune tattooed on your skin as a memento of the day you defeated Krune, and a hint of his power infuses it. Rune of Life: Your effective Constitution score for determining when you would die from hit point damage increases by 7.

Lissalan Library Amid the Feasters of the Heart's prized possessions is a collection of ancient volumes on their faith. When consulting these books, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks regarding Lissala and her ancient cult.
