With one imminent apocalypse prevented, the heroes can finally focus on directly opposing the machinations of Runelord Xanderghul, whose pursuit of revenge continues to threaten the Saga Lands—and Golarion as a whole! But to reach him and force that confrontation, the heroes must risk it all in conjuring a personification of doomsday known as the Oliphant, for this titanic legend is their only pathway into the deadly realm where Xanderghul awaits: the Apocalypse Archive of Jandelay!

Into the Apocalypse Archive is a Pathfinder adventure for four 18th-level mythic characters. This adventure concludes the Revenge of the Runelords Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which a group of adventurers fight against the evil plans of Runelord Xanderghul—the most powerful of all runelords. This adventure also includes rules for large-scale apocalyptic disasters and presents a range of legendary artifacts and monsters to reward and challenge high-level characters.

Written by: Jessica Redekop, with Jeremy Corff, James Jacobs, and Linda Zayas-Palmer.

YES!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!

The plot, the art cover.

Xanderghul looks epic.

And my birthday is in December so what a lovey gift.

Getting to explore the Realm of Jandelay, rules for large scale apocalyptic disasters and legendary artifacts.

I would like to use a mythic point to use Hype at mythic proficiency.

What I'm hearing is, if the players fail it causes The Gap.

I believe that exact phrasing was you'll have to take scissors to your Golarion map.

So not exactly The Gap, but definitely if Xanderghul is victorious we will be missing some pieces, possibly some chunks.

Ohhhh this is going to be mythic!

I am so excited for this. Especially the fight against Xanderghul. I really wanna see his stats. And I wonder what all will included in his fight. The anticipation is killing me. Of this is going to be one of the greatest APs in Pathfinder.

I like his portrayal in Chapter 4 of Return, because it did a good job of making him look superhumanly smug.
Now he looks furious, and I'm even more excited to see what happens.

...please tell me someone else is also trying to slot the iconics into the characters? I feel like Quinn should be the Criminologist, but that's typecasting.

Seltyiel feels like the best match for Riff Raff. Eddie I could see Valeros, or Alain if we're allowing 1e iconics. We need somebody hunky and shirtless for Rocky, and while Sajan's an option, I'm inclined towards Nahoa. He's happier. Brad and Janet I'm just not sure about.

Valeros and Nahoa are perfect. I can see Seltyiel. Lem might work too. Seoni as Magenta, maybe?

Beyond the four new ones we created for Revenge of the Runelords?

That depends on how successful these mythic Adventure Paths are, and how successful War of Immortals is. Customer feedback will, as always, be a significant factor.

That said, I have no personal plans to do more in the next few years of what I'm working on for the Adventure Path side of things.

Will the new Mythic Destinies be in the Player's Guide?

No; they're in the first volume of the adventure.

Okay that what I thought. But had the thought that maybe they being the Player's Guide.

Oh just 1 more month and the subscription shipping starts. Ahhhhh I'm so excited.

Im pretty sure the individual book titles will be chapter/arc titles.

That how they did it in the other compilation books.

For the most part, the creative energy we put into naming one of the individual books will now be reapplied toward naming individual chapters in the hardcover. The Adventure Paths won't be split into separate internal "books" going forward, which allows us much more creative freedom to present the different chapters of the story in more logical ways.

I'm surprised to see Xanderghul again, given the events of the previous campaign. Will there be an explanation for his return?

Tempest Keep Having his soul roasted was just a setback.

We should find out in a couple of weeks.
Since the first volume of an AP provides the Backstory.

I am most curious to learn how Xanderghul escaped the Eclipse of Abbadon.
