The PCs have become mortal demigods, yet their uncontrolled mythic power threatens to consume them from the inside. If they’re to survive, they must seek a sphinx’s sacred wisdom, steal ambrosia from giant bees, reclaim a temple to house the followers flocking to their new faith, and even delve into the Iblydan realm of the dead to gain past hero-gods’ blessing. Along the way, they learn more of about their mythic power’s source, the approaching catastrophe it represents, and what they might do to stop it.

Death Sails a Wine-Dark Sea is a Pathfinder Adventure for four 4th-level characters. This adventure continues the Myth-Speaker Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which the player characters assume the role of regional hero-gods and have the opportunity to restore the tradition of myth-speaking to a realm inspired by Ancient Greece. This volume also includes a gazetteer of the Iblydan Archipelago, a system for managing the cult forming around the pantheon of player characters, and a toolbox of new items, exemplar abilities, and creatures from the mythic isles of Iblydos.

IBLYDOS GAZETTEER LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

THE WINE DARK SEA! THE WINE DARK SEA!

That beasty on the cover looks tough. But as long as I have solid footing and nothing goes nipping at my ankles, I think we can take it.

The cult-raising mechanics are the highlight for me. Can never have too many mechanics, especially when they are 4X ones.

Fittingly sounds like Hercules' labors.

Rules for PCs' cult definitely feels like the kind of obvious things we never thought of asking before. Instant hit.

I really do wanna get a look at Okaiyo at some point.

Also, I thought the Varki had some Sami influence, not just Inuit. Am I off-base on that one? Also, we know the names of two of the four larger Okaiyon ethnicities: the Taotake and Nahoa's people, the Olehala.

Regardless glad to get a look at Iblydos in the entire, though it is definitely not the location I want to see the most.

*whispers into the minds of the Paizo devs and writers* Give me Droon. Droon next. Droooooooooooooon~

Definitely, yeah - they're nomadic caribou-herders in northern Fantasy Europe! But they also wear armor from PNW Native groups like the Haida and Tlingit.

Correct. There may be other Golarian peoples based upon the Inuit but the Varki aren’t them.

Edit: so excited for this Gazetteer!

I think the Erutaki are the most closely based upon the Inuit people.
