The heroes bring their Circus of Wayward Wonders to the city of Escadar to capitalize on their newfound fame and skills. But old enemies lurk in the city, including the cruel Mistress Dusklight and her Celestial Menagerie. Investigating the looming xulgath threat in a shuttered temple to Aroden, the dead god of humanity, the heroes learn that all their foes are working together. The revelation forces them to enter the Celestial Menagerie to bring the evil ringmaster to justice.
"Legacy of the Lost God" is a Pathfinder adventure written by Jenny Jarzabski for four 5th-level characters. This adventure continues the Extinction Curse Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the heroes lead a traveling circus as they unravel a plot to eradicate all life from the islands of the Inner Sea. This adventure also includes information about catfolk of Golarion and the villainous xulgaths, as well as new monsters and circus-themed rules.
Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the world's oldest fantasy RPG.

I think this module is the Extinction Curse AP at its best. It has a bit of everything, with some cool locales, some interesting villains, and some varied adventures. It also leaves some blank space for you to add things for yourself if you need to. The difficulty curve is more gentle in this one (until you get to the book's boss that is-- good luck and be careful!).
There's a really neat sense of wonder that permeates the book. First, with the investigation of an old temple, you do get a good idea of a bygone era; it's very atmospheric. Then, with the circus stuff, it's very on-point, conveying whimsy and danger all at once. The set pieces are really well done.
We didn't bother much with the actual circus performances, but that's fairly standard for this AP from what I understand. This adventure is pretty great without them.
I just received my PDF for the subscriptions and when I downloaded it it didnt have interactive maps like the previous books, is there going to be some for this book?
I'm a little sad that there's no rules for catfolk in this issue, just the article. My partner's a big fan of catfolk and I was hoping there'd be rules so she could play one.

It's only a few more months before the arrival of the Advanced Player's Guide, which definitely will have them.
Yeah, and if these rules were anywhere else than in a major hadcover book, people would go all angry about having to buy a second episode of an adventure path that does nothing for them apart from catfolk ancestry.
Just few months until the APG, it will be a breeze.
Soooo both xulgat and catfolk articles are awesome and have some of best opening pictures ever :O
I can't tell what fiend that is in catfolk article though? Is that new one or maybe I just don't remember all fiends on top of my head?
Also since new performers are people you recruit from the other circus, they have nicely more personality than boo 1e performers.. Which is still unfortunate how little we know about some of them besides their names xD
But yeah book feels like improvement on book 1 and definitely lots of things you would want to share with pcs when they create their characters since lot of circus members have been stuck there for long time xD
So, when I click on the "Add PDF" option, I keep getting a response that says "Your request produced an error" and it won't place the item in my cart. I've tried over the last couple of days both with my Norton VPN on and switched off. Please help.

Quite a few people are having the same problem.
Many have had success using a private window. Maybe it'll work for you, too?
Good luck.

I will say that despite loving Mistress Dusklight (and especially the cover) and I'm incredibly grateful for the article on Catfolk I think it was a misstep not including at least the bare bone rules for catfolk for 2nd edition.
Said the guy that now has to homebrew his own catfolk rules until August.
That said, I love everything in this book, keep up the good work!
I am pretty sure it is not a coincidence OOC because it is such a perfect hook for conspiracy theories. Also the article's writer (post above yours) did not know the answer, which means it was provided as an input and is not one of the writer's creations.
Note though that it can still be just a coincidence IC.
3 IC possibilities :
1) The Vask empire of the Xulgaths ended up reaching for the stars, like the Azlanti Star Empire, or maybe some xulgaths were brought to space by the Azlanti. And these became the progenitors of the Vesk Empire.
2) The Xulgaths originated as members of the Vesk abducted and placed within the vault that ended up being called Vask.
3) The conquering space empire of reptilian warriors called the Vesk and the conquering subterranean empire of reptilian warriors called Vask are completely unrelated.
Alas I do not know enough lore, especially Starfinder one, to go beyond this.
They don't sound really similar though even with one letter difference though.
Like umm, besides one being LE(or LN at best) and another being CE, there are lot of similar examples of similar names and concepts both in Pathfinder and real life and only similar connection I can think of is Nergal/Nurgal
I'm pretty sure it's a coincidence (remember when everything had "Carrion" in it somewhere) as there is not a lot of similarities between the two besides both being lizard like.
are still visible after hitting the "Map Tags Off" button. I've downloaded it twice, and they're still there. Was this done on the wrong layer? Is there a replacement anywhere?
