Looking pretty sweet! Gazetteer of the region especially interests me.
Just to get this out there nice and early.... (So, pardon me for using your post as a place to say this, as it's directed to everyone.)
From the Office of Expectation Management:
The gazetteer mentioned in this description is only going to cover the region of the shattered continent where this Adventure Path takes place. It won't be a comprehensive gazetteer of the entire remains of lost Azlant.

That´s totally okay, Adam.
Nobody would expect an entire continent described in a - what - 6-10 pages(?) gazetteer.The islands relevant to this AP are totally enough.
The rest may come later in an "Azlant, sunken Empire of Humanity" Campaign Setting. ;-)

No worries Adam, I didn't expect any more than that. I just like gazeteers, big and small. Besides any more info on the area is more than I already have, so even small tidbits is a good thing.

Hypothetically speaking....
If I were a GM who loved all things piratey and ran games based out of the Shackles...will there be enough detail in this gazetteer to make westward sailing worthwhile?

It would give details on a cluster of islands that are a few hundred miles west of Mediogalti Island, which is just north of the Shackles. If you didn't have any plans to run this Adventure Path, you could still use the article to stand in for a small cluster of islands nearly anywhere that's subtropical.

That´s a Chuul from the (first) Bestiary.
I´m glad i just bought one. ;-)
It might be a Chuul mixed with something or something, since the standard Chuul is chitinous rather than being made of rocks and doesn't have a face, or at least doesn't have such a humanoid face and mouth.

Chuul young and variants; larval Chuul, and lesser Chuul.
Nisid, fey protectors of deserted islands.
Peguroida, geez, shrimp centaurs, I guess.
Smoke Sentinel, it's smoky, it's oozy, it's a construct!?!
Tidewretch, what happens when a dead body comes back with a big piece of driftwood sticking on it's back.

I mean, under any other circumstances I would have given you the bestiary. But not now, after you called me Shirley. I mean, can I get some elementary respect here?

Our working name/idea for the tidewretch was "driftwood dryad." :)
Oh, and those peguroidas are crab people that someone who attended the monster design seminar at Gen Con 2016 might recognize.

Adam, for your next AP may I give the following feedback, which is absolutely subjective and personal.
I would like to see more full-body art of romanceable NPCs. Two books in, the only attractive full-body art are Ramona and Carver on the covers. The interior pages only have head shots of friendly NPCs. Ideally, I'd like to see at least two full-body friendly NPCs per book (and I'd love it if there could be as much as 3-4.)
Romance NPCs play major roles throughout the entire six-book campaign, whereas single one-shot fights do not. I really need full-body art to support the longstanding supporting characters -- I have bestiaries full of monster art already. I can always use B2 "draugr" art for "drowned Ulfen captain", but it's much tougher to find full-body art for "Eskelda Teredein".
Thank you for reading.
