But when a job gone wrong puts a price on Varian's head, can Radovan hunt down the assassin and save his boss from their enemies—and himself—before it's too late?

Add in a zealous Hellknight law-keeper with a chip on his shoulder, and not even the heroes are safe from suspicion.

Sometimes loved, sometimes hated, but always respected, Pathfinders are known all across Golarion. Earning a commission as a Pathfinder requires years of hard work, dedication, and study—far too much trouble for disgraced noble son Ollix Kaddar to be bothered with. After all, it's much easier to simply declare yourself a Pathfinder and worry about the formalities later. Accompanied only by the long-suffering priest Phargas, Ollix is determined to live a life so grand and daring that the Pathfinder Society will beg to include him in its ranks, happily overlooking trivial breaches of protocol. Of course, as Ollix is about to learn, the hardest part of being a Pathfinder is never finding adventure. It's surviving it.

Roubris Chor can talk to swords. Precisely how is something he's never understood or cared to find out—all Roubris knows is that sometimes the spirits of those who've died remain within the swords left behind on battlefields. And some of them know secrets. In exchange for taking the swords to the local temple of Iomedae and putting them to rest, the spirits can usually be convinced to part with those secret treasures and gems of information that they no longer have any use for—and which Roubris can use to turn a tidy profit. It's a good system. Or at least, it was. Now Roubris may have met his match in a sword that seems to know more than it should. And to cash in on its promised treasure, he'll need to head far from the safety of Lastwall, into the shattered wastes of the demon-haunted Worldwound itself.

It isn't often gods die, but Aroden's enigmatic demise on the eve of his prophesied return, when he was said to usher in an age of glory for humanity, had more ramifications than his simple death. For when Aroden died a century ago, prophecy died with him. Since that day, in what has come to be known as the Age of Lost Omens, foretelling no longer works as it should, and a prophecy is more likely to be completely inaccurate than hold even a sliver of truth.

When Yivali, a nosoi psychopomp in the service of the goddess of death, uncovers a series of foretellings called the Godsrain Prophecies as part of her research into the nature of divinity, she uncovers a vast web of predictions of the forthcoming death of another deity, and the ramifications of such.

Follow along as Yivali digs into the prophecies, noting their contradictions and unsettling suggestions, and learn about the mysterious seer who penned them. Explore the secrets of the Godsrain, an event strangely absent from the prophecies that bear its name, yet which is detailed in such Pathfinder Roleplaying Game releases as War of Immortals, Prey for Death, and the Curtain Call Adventure Path, as well as the Pathfinder: Godsrain novel by Liane Merciel. Dig into the exciting world of Pathfinder and the War of Immortals event today!

Originally published as a series of blogs on Paizo.com, this collection includes expanded annotations by Yivali and brand-new content exploring the identity of the mysterious seer behind the prophecies.

Pathfinder's beloved iconic heroes make their fiction debut in Pathfinder: Godsrain, set to release in November 2024. But the characters have existed since 2007 and have many existing adventures documented in flash fiction on the Paizo Blog and other promotional locations. Now, for the first time, readers can find these stories collected into a single volume, a perfect primer before diving into Godsrain or to further explore their history after meeting them for the first time.

Inside, you'll find the origins and selected past adventures of all four iconic heroes:

• Kyra, the cleric, whose devotion to Sarenrae, goddess of the sun, healing, and redemption, is challenged only by her devotion to her wife...
• Merisiel, the elf rogue, whose life among the short-lived peoples of the world have made her Forlorn, a condition only exacerbated by her love for Kyra.
• Ezren, the wizard, who abandoned a posh life as a merchant's son after discovering his father's criminal past and devoted his life not to clearing his soiled name but to the study of the arcane.
• Amiri, the barbarian, whose exile from her tribe of nomadic hunters has left her with only her rage and her companions to provide solace in a dangerous world.

Before the Godsrain features a dozen works of flash and short fiction, including the "Meet the Iconics" origins of all four characters, updated and expanded for this publication, seven entries from the popular Iconic Encounters series including Kyra and Merisiel's wedding and the four-part "Returning Home" short story following Amiri's return to her homeland after years of exile, and a bonus entry from the Windsong Testaments recounting the mythological battle between the gods at the dawn of time which plays a central role in the Godsrain novel.
