Dawn of a New Age

Fires burn atop the ruined citadel on Hellknight Hill, sending plumes of red smoke into the air that could be a call for help. Within the old keep, strange invaders from a distant land, mysterious long-lost ruins, and the machinations of a shadowy organization await discovery. Something dire is building toward an apocalyptic event, and it falls to your characters to stop the end before it begins. The Age of Ashes Adventure Path begins with "Hellknight Hill"—a complete adventure for 1st- to 4th-level characters.

Hey folks, we are currently experiencing some issues with the file-per-chapter download of this product. We're looking into the issue, but it's taking a little bit longer than anticipated to troubleshoot. I'll make sure to post an update here along with the normal notification email when the files have been fixed. Thanks for your patience!

Update: Looks like we've got this ironed out now. It may take a while for everything to sync up, so some folks may need to refresh or try a different browser if they're still seeing issues in the immediate future, but it should be all sorted.

Hey Zaister, it looks like we updated the file on the 3rd because there were some issues with the Interactive Maps that needed to be resolved. I sent out a notification email to those with the PDF, but you have to opt in to notifications about digital asset updates on your My Account page to receive those. If you're opted in and still haven't been receiving them, let us know so we can investigate. Thanks!

Hi Katina, thanks for the information. I have checked my account page, and I have opted into all emails, so I should have gotten the update mail, but I haven't. I think there have been others recently, such as for the recent Gods & Magic update, and I didn't get an email for that one either. And yes, I have checked my spam folder. :) So, there seems to be something wrong with my account settings, I guess.

Over the past few months, we've been updating the community via blogs as to the organized play team backlog and workflow. A week and a half ago, we dropped our sanctioning information for the Lost Omens and Pathfinder RPG books. Age of Ashes is part of the next batch of Pathfinder (second edition) sanctioning. We have not released a date yet, because we need to ensure publication of Society scenarios is on track. There should be news in the not so distant future.


Awesome thank you tonya at least there is light at the end of the tunnel now.

Let's face it folks. This AP is not getting sanctioned. There are too many problems with breaking it down properly so that GMs can run a small section of it in 8 hours to grant the 12 xp for the PFS level up. And, it would take too many hours to generate Chronicle sheets for each character level's worth of game play. It's not like this one breaks out the levels at nice break points either. I'd go so far as to say it was written without Organized Play Support in mind at all. Reading through it, I think it's very difficult to sanction it because there are lots of options for different opportunities. To sanction an adventure, the OP team, or at least the author, has to be able to predict what a vast majority of players will do. It's very tough to do on this one.

Paizo's human resources are already stretched paper thin with everything else they're doing, then throw the pandemic on the bonfire and santioning for Age of Ashes is toast.

Am I correct in my assessment? Or will Paizo prove me wrong?

Just my pair of coppers.

Lol wut

How is this any different than any other AP?

They’ve sanctioned Kingmaker of all things, they can sanction this by all standards rather normal AP.

You are not correct.

May I point to Starfinder APs. I've mainly played those in campaign mode. And then a chronicle sheet given for each book completed. So, it can be sanctioned, maybe not as PF1 standards of sanctioning, but as a reward for completing it in campaign mode. So, this being the first AP, let's give them time to figure it out and how to decide.

Just started reading this AP and am wondering if the chained plate boarder is an intentional homage to the Shackled City AP? Ditto to the naming of the Scarlet Triad (Ebon Triad)?

Three out of the Four Horsemen approve of this post!

The Fourth is "uncommittedly ambivalent"... ;p

I could be wrong but wasn't the idea of having the new pfs group to make it quicker to get things sanctioned? How long did it take for APs to get sanctioned in 1e?

You mean the ones that we still don't have completely sanctioned yet?
