Question about Windsong Abbey

[Captain Marsh]

I'm trying to make Windsong Abbey a more important location in my on-going campaign, and am developing the Masked Abbess as a significant patron/NPC. I understand that in the latest AP installment the Abbey is destroyed.

Is there any substantive material out there describing the Abbey BEFORE it's ruined? Or giving more detail about the Abbess. It's not really necessary that my own story-line be completely in sync with the setting as written, but I like to follow it as closely as possible.

Can anyone suggest any sources of info?

There's a single paragraph about Windsong Abbey in the initial gazetter of Varisia we published in Pathfinder #3, which was reprinted in the free Anniversary Edition of the Rise of the Runelords Players' Guide.

There are no other sources of info.

The adventure "Beyond the Doomsday Door" does indeed take place after the abbey has been partially (but not wholly) destroyed, but there's more than enough information in the adventure that you can pick out things and backtrack/reverse engineer what the place was like before it was invaded by bad guys. Specific information about the last Masked Abbess is relatively sparse, which is a boon if you want to include that character in an adventure—you can make the Masked Abbess into whatever you need.

Thanks. I'm ordering it now...
