Crimson Throne: How much will we see of the region?


Curse of the Crimson Throne


There's a lot of really exciting fun cities right around the region where the AP is set to run--Korvosa is a really interesting region.

How much do you guys know about it yet? Have you worked or thought anything about any of those places? Do we know where the focus of the adventures will be yet? I have to say, I've read and re-read the Gazetteer in Hook Mountain and am really into that part of Varisia (heck I've decided to set my home game there).

Just curious what's been come up with so far.

Will we get to see Ilsurian?

I can answer some of these questions. We're putting out an entire book dedicated to Korvosa, so you'll get all the wish-they-were-still-in-Cheliax love you can handle if you pick up that book (which I hope you do!).

Other questions I'll leave to Doc Jacobs.

For Curse of the Crimson Throne, the first 3 adventures will take place entirely in Korvosa. Adventure 4 will take place in the Cinderlands. Adventure 5 will take place in the Hold of Belkzen (but will mostly be inside of a big dungeon... there'll be a Belkzen gazetteer though). Adventure 6 takes place back in Korvosa, and a little bit in the Mushfens.

Ilsurian will not be appearing anytime soon in Pathfinder (Adventure Path 3 avoids it too).

That's another question I have floating around out there on another thread. Is the Korvosa book intended to be about the Korvosa region as a whole--or a city book more along the lines of the FR book on Waterdeep. Certainly the region book would be more useful, since the only other info I'll be seeing there will be in the Campaign Setting, whereas there will be a lot of adventures set in the city proper. Anyway a regional book would certainly be a great thing.

Either way I will defintely be buying it.

The Guide to Korvosa touches on the region around the city and how that region is important to Korvosa, but for the most part it is a city book. Because believe it or not, having an entire campaign pretty much set in Korvosa only scratches the surface of adventures that can happen there. :)

Oh I believe it. It's more just that I don't think there's any other way I'm really going to get the kind of in depth treatments of the cities roundabout that I very much would like to have. It's not that I don't appreciate Korvosa proper getting so much love--as much as really loving the area enough to see that it gets it's share.
