With the dawning of the Age of Lost Omens, a supernatural hurricane known as the Eye of Abendego brought ruin to the nation of Lirgen. Today, what was once a powerful nation exists as a flooded swampland, its fallen cities immersed under the endless flood of a perpetual storm. In Hyrantam, the ruined capital of Lirgen, a few stubborn survivors have managed to eke out a living for themselves, but now, strange new patterns in the storm that constantly looms on the horizon have swept local predators into violent frenzies. Worse, a new sect of strange seers known as the Stormreaders has come to the area, and its demands on the people of Hyrantam have grown increasingly dire. What link might the Stormreaders have to these new squalls, and what vile plots might they be hatching from their new seat of power deep in the drowned city's ruins?
Seers of the Drowned City is an adventure for 6th-level characters and features a poster map of the ruins of Hyrantam. The author of this adventure, Nicholas Wasko, was the Season 9 winner of the RPG Superstar contest, in which hundreds of unpublished authors compete for the chance to write a Pathfinder Module. In addition, this book contains a host of new monsters and magic items designed by the contest's talented runners-up.

This module is a lot less linear, and I really enjoy that. The villains are good, some of the npcs can be friend or foe based on player's actions, and the artwork is great.
Overall, very well put together. If you want an adventure that is less rail road and more sandy, here is your chance.
GOOD:
The cover.
The giant squid zombie illustration.
The "flip-mat" side of the poster map.
Some magic items are cool.
The adventure itself has some good ideas.
The fact that this can be connected to the previous module.
BAD:
The city map side of the poster map.
The Hyrantam article is too short and underdeveloped.
The encounter area maps.
Most creatures from the Bestiary section.
UGLY:
A GM has to put some serious extra work into this.
Glad to see a new module that's not just for 1st level PC's. Still hoping we'll see a few mid-to-high level modules as well as one or two super dungeons come out by this time next year.
Very excited about this one--perhaps as a follow on after starting PCs play through Ire of the Storm. This could make for a nice little mini-campaign with some homebrewed filler to get the PCs up to 5th level.

I was under the impression that Ire of the Storm ends at 6th level.
The Sodden Lands is the one place I have really wanted to go to...ever since I first read about it in the Pathfinder Chronicle Campaign Setting. I am very excited for this one, and may have to also try and link it up with Ire of the Storm. They seem to be thematically linked.

I had the same idea! But maybe the 5th level starting encounters would need to be modified a bit to work with 6th level characters (or let it be a bit of a cakewalk for them?)
Seeing that there are some significant similaraties in theme between Ire and this adventure, while I was developing "Seers of the Drowned City" over the past few weeks I adjusted it upward a level. The final adventure will be for 6th level characters, and will contain some advice for running it as a sequel to "Ire of the Storm."

Awesome! James, you are a gentleman and a scholar!
Awesome artwork. I was just thinking how I hoped a hydra would show up in this adventure and then this!
I really like what I'm seeing here. These azure dreams of an Ire of the Storm / Seers of the Drowned City campaign are looking more and more like they're going to come to fruition...
That could mean that it is pushed back to december but that is unlikely.
It will probably be out in 2017, but if in january, february or march will be seen.

I apologize for the confusion folks. It's kind of amazing what a missing click can do. Should be all patched up now. If anyone purchased it in the last couple hours while that was available, your Digital Asset was suspended and it will be unsuspended after we begin shipping to subscribers (estimated October 31st).
